I traveled to Coronado as part of a navy reunion and decided to revisit this fine, well located, small hotel. The meals served in the Bistro were excellent, as were all the overall services. The rooms are well appointed but not overdone. The staff members were extremely kind, courteous, and often really helpful. Additionally, there is a VFW across the... More

I'm so glad you had a good time at the Crown City Inn. What a great group of people you had for your reunion. All my staff commented on how nice and how fun you all were. I'm very happy to hear that you were happy with our services too! I'm hoping you'll come back soon, reunion or not. Melissa More

Crown City Inn is a fabulous choice, in a stellar location at a very convenient price. I can't count the number of times I've stayed at CCI. From weekends w/girlfriends, a night away w/the husband or on family trips, CCI is always my go-to spot. Prices are some of the best on the island. The little cafe downstairs is great... More

I'm glad you took the time to review us, and to be specific about what you've liked/disliked. I will look into the mattresses to see if it's time to renew. Some say they're great, so I need to figure out a "happy medium." You described us well with "not the Ritz....low cost, convenient spot." I hope to see you on... More

We've stayed here numerous times in one of the pet friendly rooms. We've unfortunately had room 112 twice. It's right next to the maids station and they start at 8am screaming and hollering and don't stop until 3pm. If you want to relax and enjoy your vacation, don't stay in this room, you will be highly disappointed. We tip very... More

Thanks so much for all your feedback, though I'm very unhappy there was so much you were displeased with about us. Room 112 is next to our housekeeping room, and I apologize if housekeeping was loud and/or rude. I do have to remind them sometimes that people are still sleeping, even though they are up working. I have never had... More

Quiet, immaculately clean, it could use a pinch of a make-over to give the rooms a bit of charm. Its courtyard has space for about 10 cars; after that, it's the street - but a nice street. The room's mini-refrigerator had to be turned off; it chugged and kept us awake. The bistro on site serves a prime and reasonably... More

I very much appreciate your comments about the Crown City Inn. Hopefully you were told this, but we do have another parking lot that runs along the full length of the back of the Inn. I hope you didn't have trouble parking.... I will look into the refrigerator noise in all of the rooms. This is a very important comment!... More

We wanted a hotel/Inn near the beach in the SanDiego area. We found this Inn on the internet and from the reviews we read we booked it. We were more than happy with the Inn when we got there.

We booked a stay at the Crown City Inn for our first stay at Coronado Island, and we were not disappointed.
