Hotel Marisol Coronado

Staying here for spring break this week and the hotel is wonderful. A quaint and charming hotel with just 15 rooms. Old elevator that you can operate. Comfy room and luxurious bedding that's better than The Del. Lots of extras like a wholesome continental breakfast, cookies in afternoon, and chocolates on your bed. And amenities like beach towels, chairs and bikes make it extra special. Having a great week.

Just absolutely stunning! We loved everything about our stay- from the chocolates and hand written note upon our arrival, to the simple but good breakfast in the morning. The courtyard was a tranquil and gorgeous spot to sit. Our room felt so clean and well kept. I loved everything about the simple decor and the beautiful bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable! We highly recommend the Marisol!!! It is in a great location, just a quick one block walk to the beach or to the main street in Coronado with all the food and shopping. I cannot say enough positive things about this hotel. If you're considering it, just book it!!!

We absolutely loved our stay here! We had 1 night without guests while visiting SD and decided to give this boutique hotel a try. It was perfect. I wish we had taken advantage of the beach cruiser rental but we pretty much walked everywhere. At night, it was quiet enough, though a small group of couples staying at the hotel took advantage of the courtyard & were a bit noisy! The continental breakfast was perfect for a quick bite at check out.

The only downside was that the contactless check in & electronic key never worked for our trip & we were able to take advantage of the free drinks that came with our trip because we were so tired. But we'll definitely be back!

I have traditionally stayed at the Hotel Del Coronado but I had a less than pleasurable experience there last year. So I decided to try another. I couldn't be happier that I chose the Marisol great service well equipped rooms quiet close to the beach.

Beautiful hotel. I didn't stay here but we did walk the grounds. The hotel has great outdoor dining areas with a beach view. We would have grabbed food there but it was a weekend and the place was packed! Next time.

The hotel is undergoing rennovation as well as an expansion so a lot of what we explored was under construction. But once it is all finished the hotel is going to look amazing.

There is also a lot of nice shopping across the street so we had quite a busy outing. Apparently there are places inside the hotel that are a free museum. Explaining the history of the hotel. That will be on our agenda next time we come and visit!

This is an elegant little jewel of a hotel. Everything about it is charming and first class. Comfortable rooms with free waters in the fridge each day, plush towels, newly decorated furnishings, hair dryer, robes, complimentary bicycles and beach chairs. One block from the beach and two blocks from the Del Coronado Hotel complex. Beautiful secluded patio with plenty o seating. The staff was wonderful. They baked cookies every evening, had berries and yogurt for us each morning with Coffee, Fresh juice, granola, oatmeal, etc. Old fashioned Otis elevator from 1928 with scissor gate worked perfectly. Just a perfect experience. Our highest recommendation.

Quiet and comfortable.
We came here mid-October, so perhaps it was the fact we were not here during tourist season (it's also The Year of The Wuhan Virus), but we never heard a sound from outside our room. Loved that!
Staff were very friendly and accommodating (thanks, Hannah). The room was very nice (though smaller than most hotel rooms), and the a/c worked like a champ, and the bed was very comfortable.
Check out the old school Otis elevator!! Good lord, there can't be many like it left in the world today.
All in all a wonderful night's stay!!

Cheers!

TL/DR - Better than the Hotel Del Coronado.

Some might like the idea of overpriced, crowded and worn out accommodations. If so, the hotel del is your ticket. BUT - if you want an intimate, quiet, convenient, luxurious, and friendly environment then look no further. Even over the July 4 weekend, amidst the crowds literally everywhere else, the Marisol was absolutely serene. The place was fully booked (all 15 rooms...) and still I rarely encountered other guests. Whether eating breakfast in the lounge, relaxing in the garden, or playing around in the ancient elevator, I seldom saw anyone else. And the location is perfect - literally a one minute walk to the main drag, maybe five minutes to the beach, and just a few minutes to the hotel del (restaurants, shops, etc) - you're in the middle of it all while also just off the beaten path. Interested in exploring the island? Don't drive! Just take one of their bikes (Free!). The rooms are on the smaller side but expertly and tastefully appointed. All questions and requests were immediately addressed by hotel staff. Do yourself a favor - break away from the pack, skip the hotel del, and treat yourself to the Hotel Marisol!

Of course, it doesn't hurt to bring the love of your life. I highly recommend that as well...

Awesome service. Beautiful hotel. Convenient location and walking distance to great restaurants.

Fantastic boutique hotel - we got a junior suite discounted with their Spring sale and it was totally worth it! It's a historic yet updated and cute hotel and love the fact that there are only 15 rooms so you don't get any noise or disturbances (we were on the 3rd floor). The junior suites are located on the corners of the building so you get a lot of windows with shutters and light into the room - generally we loved this but might be a bit bright for those that like "blackout" curtains in the morning even with the shutters closed. The suites also have a separate shower and a jet spa tub. The jet spa tub was amazing as it actually blows strong bubbles as if you're in a hot tub - the only downside is that it's extremely loud and we were worried our neighbors would hear it! The room is spacious and has a sitting area with a pullout couch and a side chair. Location is so convenient and within walking distance to lots of great restaurants for both coffee, breakfast/brunch, lunch and dinner. It's also only about a block away from the beach. We were able to rent for free bike cruisers which we took around the island. They have a light continental breakfast that they just started with instant oatmeal, some pastries, coffee/tea, hard-boiled eggs, and fruit. There is a small courtyard area that you can hang out at. Parking was also very convenient (maybe because it was an off-season); although there is no separate parking structure or lot, there was neighborhood street parking that was pretty easy to find and we were able to move our car to a spot right in front towards the end of the night. There is a loading zone for 2 spots where you can temporarily park your car for checking in. Hostess and housecleaning staff were all very nice and helpful. They also have a refillable water drinking station which makes it extra convenient to refill your bottles without having to buy more water!

All-in-all this was a fantastic stay and would happily come back!
