However, we did find the room a bit outdated and in need of some updates. Overall, it was a great experience, especially with the spacious family-friendly amenities available.

El Coronado is a nostalgic spot that my family has loved over the years, with fantastic amenities and a great beach right at our doorstep.

My stay at the Crest was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was clean and spacious, with a nice balcony view, but I was disappointed by the lack of shade around the pool area. The service varied; while the housekeeping was helpful, there were issues with the amenities that weren't available during our visit. Overall, it was an average experience that left me indifferent about returning.

I enjoyed a family-friendly atmosphere at El Coronado, with clean rooms and an impressive pool that's perfect for kids. The location is ideal, right next to the beach, offering convenient access to the ocean. While the dining options were decent, I felt that updating some areas could enhance the overall experience. Moreover, the parking situation is tight, making it a bit challenging. Overall, it was a memorable stay with great community vibes, although a few improvements could make it even better.
