PRICE:
Frommer's Highly Recommended

Centrally located and terrifically priced, this renovated 1940s courtyard motel has such a friendly ambience, it's like staying with old friends. Iced tea, lemonade, and fresh fruit are even provided in the lobby each afternoon. It's still a motel, though, so rooms are pretty basic. The six rooms with bathtubs have small kitchens; microwaves are available for the rest, along with hair dryers and irons. Rooms close to the street are noisiest, so ask for one toward the back. The Coronado shuttle stops a block away; it serves the shopping areas and Hotel Del. The Coronado Inn's sister property, the Coronado Island Inn, 301 Orange Ave. (tel. 888/436-0935 or 619/435-0935) is a block away and offers some of the cheapest digs on the island.
