LA AVENIDA INN

A friend of mine stayed there and his room got robbed. The front desk basically shrugged and told him “too bad”. If you have anything that you value, I’d think twice about staying here

The only good thing about this place was location, location, location! Just a short walk to Coronado beach, which didn’t matter since the sewage coming up from Mexico necessitated Beach closings per much of 2023. Check SD Beach info for water quality and beach closures if you plan on swimming in the ocean. The room we stayed in was a little dirty, the towels smelled musty, the walls were paper thin so I could hear the people upstairs conversation! There was no trash liners in the trash cans, no microwave, a funky old shower curtain (when typically these places have sliding glass shower doors), and the bathroom door didn’t close well. The staff were an entirely different breed and all looked stoned! Very unprofessional and not too pleasant. I think they were Mexican or East Indian or something and they all had attitudes and were dressed very unprofessional. Some people staying there looked homeless. Don’t stay here! Also it’s next to a patio restaurant so you can hear the music and chatter from the diners and staff. Spend a few extra bucks and stay at the Gaviota or the Hotel Del.

I couldn't sleep because i could hear everything the neighbor was doing. Really bad esp if you have kids.

TERRIBLE attitude of the owner working the front desk. Chagerged us $25 dollars to check into our room early even though the hotel was empty. We tried to engage in small talk with him but he was rude and not friendly whatsoever! We check out a few hours earlier and he was still rude and not friendly. Location amazing! Hotel rooms very outdated like the bathrooms the furniture very worn out we have definitly stayed in better hotrls for better prices and AMAZING customer service specially from the OWNER. I dont recommend you stay here ynless you want TERRIBLE attitude from the OWNER go to hotel coronado! Oh the floor were super wet when we walked in not sure why. And the bed moves around since its only on a wooded platform. Forgot somethibg he also called the cops on my boyfriend who is a cop because of the way we looked?? Like what?

The room looks like they just went around trying to find the cheapest labor possible, you can see numerous spots of poor workmanship in painting, calking, ect that just makes the room look more rundown than I'd expect for Coronado. There is zero insulation between rooms so it sounds like the person in the next room is in your room, you can hear them breathing, every word they say clearly every time they toss and turn ect. Around 4 am a weird humming started that almost sounded like a sander and ran until 4:40 am, street sounds are very loud too due to a lack of exterior insulation. Additionally door handles frequently got stuck making it difficult to enter your room with your key card (had a few friends staying at the same time we all had the same issue). I was told at 6 there would be coffee, fruit and bars at the front desk, however even at 7 there was nothing. Front desk staff were friendly at check-in, and it is in a great location, but the room quality was lacking.
