Staying at the Hotel Del Coronado was a mixed bag for me. The stunning historical architecture and beautiful beach access were definite highlights, making it a special place to visit. However, the ongoing construction was quite disruptive, and the noise made it hard to relax at times. The dining service was on the pricier side, and the experience wasn’t quite what I had hoped for, especially given the costs involved.
