I had stayed at the property in June of this year and it was great. This time not at all. When checking in the staff member processing the check in was not very nice. I had asked if she can please check that the room was not a corner room just the balconies are very tiny and we were a family of 5. Before I even finished my sentence she said there was nothing she can do because my reservation was made through Expedia. I was already committed to my reservation so I said fine, no worries. The room was dirty, zero towels in the room. Broken glasses in the cabinet. The pull out couch bed was broken to the point that we had to put 2 chairs at the end of bed/matress to hold it up. Very disappointed. I have pics of the couch.

A nice place to stay for a family
It was a last minute decision to remain overnight on a day trip to Wildwood Crest/Cape May NJ. We needed a two bedroom accommodation and a search led me to El Coronado which happened to have what I needed available. I was comfortable with the choice as I had stayed here once before and liked the place. It was clean, and the woman at the desk, Diana (this was a late check-in) couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay here again on a longer stay.

Great Hotel as it offers a lot for the money. Some minor negatives not worth commenting about. The parking, however, needs bigger spaces! If the parking improves then I would rate this Hotel a 5! Very cramped parking but still accommodates larger vehicles in different spots. Plan on returning!

Quick family getaway
This was our first visit to this property. Overall, very pleased with our visit. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and we had a nice view of the ocean. Pool area very nice but lots of loud children so this is not a place to go if you want quiet pool time. Location was perfect. The restaurant on site was wonderful for lunch. Elevators very slow and busy but that is expected for the amount of people using them. Wildwood Crest is a wonderful place to visit and I would stay here again.

Overpriced
I thought the hotel was overpriced for what it was. On top of that, the air conditioning was an issue throughout. It was a very old system and when it clicked off it was off until the room was very warm. You could not set to an actual temperature.
