We like to stay in a little boutique hotel directly across the street. Coronado is too old with non-updated rooms for the price. But staying across the street, lets us walk over and enjoy the beautiful grounds and beach still, without paying their obscene parking fee if you want to park their. Plus there are lots of great restaurants within walking distance. We feel like we get the best of both worlds - a better hotel room at a reasonable price, plus the good parts of the Coronado.
