Great experience. Great price for a fabulous location and lovely room. It was a small room- they made that clear from the listing. But it was cozy and comfortable and I would definitely return!

This is a cute lil boutique style place to stay. Location is on orange, near the bay(walkable). We used our e-bikes to get around the island and were able to go everywhere without using our vehicle. (Including beach) Perfect place to stay abd have a lil $ left to have some fun! Brigantine has the best taco Tuesday with swordfish tacos!!! And Poehes has a great happy hour overlooking the bay at San Diego. Enjoy😎

So close to the beach and amazing restaurants and shops. Property is super clean and service was fantastic. Finding parking was a bit of an issue but well worth it.

Cozy, affordable, treated like family.

Fred and the staff are amazing. We stay at least twice a year for a week or so each time. Everytime we come we are treated like family. Fred was so kind to check in with us before we arrived and ensure we were all taken care of upon arrival. Additionally, we were able to receive an Amazon delivery for our 2 month old's formula. El Rancho is very small and cozy, you become a local everytime you stay there. While the hotel does not have the bells and whistles of the larger chains, it is affordable, safe, and close to everything. We always feel like we are staying at our own apartment right on Coronado Island. We always love our vacations to Coronado and only stay at El Rancho. Thank you Fred, Kathy, and everyone that works so hard to make us feel special.
