Offering a sunbathing terrace and a golf course, the 3-star El Rancho Motel Coronado lies in a popular area of Coronado, 4.4 km from the Ruocco Park and around a 25-minute walk from USS Midway Interactive Museum. Located 4.5 km from the San Diego Bay Walk, the motel features 15 rooms with views of the courtyard.

Location

This smoke-free hotel is nestled near a shopping district just around the corner from Coronado Brewing Co. The El Rancho Motel is only 550 m from the 8-acre Spreckels Park and is within a 30-minute drive of Solana Beach.

Guests might as well enjoy proximity to Centennial Park, situated approximately 5 minutes away by car. Standing 850 metres away, the Resurrection Lutheran Church of Coronado is a hard-to-miss divine tourist destination.

Rooms

Along with complimentary Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, the air-conditioned rooms offer a mini-fridge-bar, and private bathrooms with a separate toilet and a shower. Featuring a separate toilet and a shower, the bathrooms also have hair dryers and towels.

Eat & Drink

Crown City Inn & Bistro offers a wide range of American dishes and lies fairly close to the El Rancho Motel Coronado.

“What I appreciate here is its unpretentious charm. The location is undeniably central, making it easy to explore Coronado whether by bike or on foot, plus the benefit of proximity to local shops and restaurants is a real advantage.”
