El Rancho Motel

Coronado

10/10 Excellent

I enjoyed my stay at El Rancho because it was a great value for staying on Coronado Island. The room was very clean and accommodating. It was like a beach bungalow without having to pay for the room with a view price. Very convenient to the ferry to San Diego (a three block walk) and to the beach on the Pacific by the Hotel Del Coronado (about a ten block walk). I went into the Del and saw the rooms and frankly I prefer my room at the El Rancho at a quarter of the price. The owner, Irene, is...

This property is obviously being renovated a few units at a time. The one we used was well-apportioned with new fixtures and beautiful tile in the bathroom. The room is definitely small, not even enough room for a chair. I slept fairly well so the bed is nice. Having my car right outside the door was a plus as well, as it made loading and unloading a breeze. I cant wait to see what itll look like when renovation is complete.
