Overpriced

Well yes this is a historic landmark, but not worth the price. Old squeaky floors, snobish staff and to boot $23 a day for parking and a $25 a day resort fee in addition to the daily room rate, is it really worth all this when you can stay at a local hotel and then come enjoy the view and facilites of the Del Coronado like the hundreds of others that do so. The hotel is OK at best, but definitely overpriced. Most of the staff was very nice but I did encounter a few snobish ones as well. It was an experience to stay at the Del Coronado, but not worth repeating.
Two Texas Gals Love The Del

My daughter and I loved our recent stay at The Del. This hotel has a tremendous amount of history and the ammenities are wonderful. The staff treated us like royalty and were helpful in finding dining options outside of the hotel. This hotel is pricey but well worth the money spent. Don't go in expecting a new shining hotel. The Del creaks and groans due to being a wood hotel. However get past that and enjoy the beauty of the hotel, the beach and the town. Our room was clean and everything worked! The pool area was great and my child loved the staff and the ability to have fresh towels when you needed them. The beach area is first class with the ability to rent chairs and boogie boards to keep the kids happy for hours. If you get a chance, take advantage of the Spa. The staff are wonderful and welcoming. We did not dine at the hotel but decided to explore the town and everything was in walking distance that we needed. I loved our stay here and will certainly be back in the near future.
Wonderful Stay at The Del

The Del was a wonderful vacation experience for my child and I. The hotel is over 120 years old and creaks and groans however the beauty of the layout, woodwork and nostalgic flair of the guestrooms was well worth it. The staff are unbelievable in remembering names and the floor you stay on as well as what type of coffee you order in the morning. They were more than helpful in making sure you knew where you were going and what you could do on the island. The pool area was fantastic and clean and the hotel staff did a great job opf ensuring the people in the pool were true hotel guests and not people sneaking in. Because the hotel is on the beach having the ability to check out towels, chairs, boogie boards and such was wonderful. I did not have to worry about packing those types of things. If you get a chance get a massage at the Spa. The staff were great and we could enjoy the spa the entire day. The Del is pricey but well worth the money spent. We will definitely stay here again!

Wow! What a vacation! As I was getting on the plane to head back home, all I could think about was heading back to The Del to check in for another 2 days of bliss. The spa is unbelievable, especially the terrace. In the evening my husband and I enjoyed each other's company watching the sunset while in our Spa Robes near the fire pit. Our every need was handled by every staff member that we came across - all with a smile! Our room was gorgeous too, we splurged and got a Deluxe Junior Suite. I booked through the hotel since it wasn't available at the site here. The accommodations gave us a balcony, living room area and the charateristics of the old world, which only The Del can provide.
The breakfast buffet was so good at their restaurant, Stillwater. They have a coffee bar along with an outstanding room service menu. The first day we ate our food on the veranda and people watched.
This is a must!!

This was a wonderful Hotel. The Hotel Del Coronado is set in a great location right on the beach. Great central location to just about everything you could possible see in San Diego. Great Views, services, and even had a nanny service for guest with children. We were a little nervous about leaving our daughter with a stranger, but the hotel insured us that they have had the service for over 10years and have had great reviews from guest. Our daughter warmed up to the young lady instantly and she was wonderful. She stuck to our guidelines for our child and had activities for her age group to keep her entertained as well as a trip to the beach for her. Wonderful Spa service! Any questions or concerns my wife and I had were quickly answered and resolved in a timely manner. I would stay at this hotel again anytime... I am planning another trip when I get back from IRAQ... They had lots of things for everyone in the family, but you should also so get out and see the sights around the hotel. I'm a very satisfied guest!!!!
