- Review: We selected this hotel for location, however the services provided by the hotel and staff were excellent. Staff could not have been more helpful, from the manager (very visible during our stay), to reception and housekeeping staff. The complimentary breakfast was very good, and again staff couldn't have been more attentive during this service. Rooms were well equipped (even had a microwave). I would highly recommend this hotel., by Claire, 13 October 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent

- Review: A very comfortable stay on Coronado island San Diego. We received a warm welcome at this quaint guest house. Our stay was quiet and very relaxing. A pleasant contrast to the other busy hotels we stayed in on our trip. Although our room was on the small side it had everything we needed including a ceiling fan and air conditioning. The ensuite facilities were excellent. The staff very very friendly and helpful. Good value on an expensive island., by Linda, 21 June 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent
