It is posted in multiple places that quiet time is from 9:00pm to 9:00am. At 6:45am someone had a leaf blower going! It only occurred one morning. Otherwise, awesome stay.

It was lovely. It would have been more helpful to have information about the logistics of the property, i.e. on staff on site etc. however, it did not overly impact our stay in any way. We would certainly stay again. Rooms are small, best for 1-2 people.

Clean and Small Motel, 10 Rooms

Price and cleanliness excellent; no human service but very efficient check in, if you had directions and explanations on i phone or text. Code to open lobby door, and key very visable, so easy to locate room, as only 10. Charming motel with outside seating but no amenities inside. Check out easy, but again, no human contact. One overnight was adequate for convenience and price.

El Rancho - The property is convenient and walkable to most of the tourist areas in Coronado The staff was accessible but out of the way and went out of their way to ensure a smooth check-in, the rooms and motel is very personal. Having a old cottage feel but still updated Will definitely stay again if in the area
