Staff at check in did not provide any information about the property or how to enjoy our stay. The room, especially the bathroom is in horrible condition. Paint peeling, toilet paper roll holder broken and unusable, door way trim bent and comming off, mildew in the shower window, broken tiles, missing grout, the mirror was cloudy with black spots everywhere. We were charged an amenities fee without notice. Thus was shocking because the amenities at motel 6 are better than what El Cordova has to offer. In every hotel I've ever been to, amenities are part of the package. Not extra charges. It seems the location is what keeps this hotel in business, not the hotel experience.

The location is great, and the staff and overall cleanliness of the hotel is good. However, the rooms are a bit outdated and could benefit from some upgrades. We went in late Nov. and the heaters didn't work, the windows didnt open and bedding was outdated.

Great location, quiet hotel with lovely courtyard areas. Very private room! It would have been nice to have the soaps/lotion refilled to the top before we stayed in the room, but that was such a minor detail! Would stay again.

Room was clean but a bit threadbare and rundown. Friendly service but maid service was absent. The property was also lacking in upkeep and seemed tired like it had seen better days.

The quality and condition of the rooms didn't match the online presentation. Overall, it resembled a poorly maintained low-rent apartment complex with multiple coats of poorly applied paint. I understand that this is an historic building, but this reeks of poor maintenance practices. More along that line below. When we checked in, the ceiling light fixture just inside our suite entry door was full of water but still producing light. I reported it and the desk sent up someone to check on it who I had to tell how to remove the fixture cover. The fixture was never operational again during the rest of our three-night stay. The desk acknowledged that the bulbs needed replacing, but they never were. Each time I reported it, the person at the desk I talked with was unaware of the issue. The heat/air conditioning was inoperative during our entire three-night stay. We're from Arizona, and it was COLD during our entire three-night stay. The phone operation was intermittent due to a worn-out telephone jack and line cord plug combo. This was also acknowledged by staff but never fixed. The facility was VERY noisy with a liquor-serving dining venue very near and very close proximity to a major traffic artery. As "compensation" we were given a paltry discount and the problems were still unaddressed when we checked out. The online presentation also did not make it clear that there was no onsite parking. Two nights I had to park about a half mile from the hotel and walk.
Water dripping from the light fixture. The water level is clearly visible near the top of the glass cover.

Unfortunately, the alarm for the restaurant business went off all night long, keeping us up. The hotel tried to help the n the middle of the night but it took a while. All said, the hotel is a great location; walking distance to many great restaurants and hotel Del Coronado

Another excellent stay at our favorite hotel. Benjamin was the perfect host and helped us with our room and parking pass. We always ask for the same room, as it was the first one we occupied, and is perfect for our needs. We were glad to have such a welcoming host and have already made another reservation.
