Cherokee Lodge was even better than we expected! I'm absolutely not typically a B&B kinda gal, but the reviews I had read on this place had piqued my interest so we took a chance. I'm SO GLAD we did! The house is adorable, the grounds are gorgeous, and the rooms are well-appointed and cozy. Everything was super clean, and we loved the self-serve breakfast and coffee nook, with fresh cookies put out each afternoon!
The wrap-around porch was our favorite place to sit and have coffee in the morning, among the lush lemon and orange trees, and abundant, well-tended flowers. The beach was a mere 5 minute walk away - we couldn't believe how close we were. The famous Hotel del Coronado was a 10 minute walk, maybe even less. And the Lodge is only one block from Orange Ave, where shopping, cafes, and restaurants are abundant. There's a supermarket one block away as well, where you can pick up snacks, a local beer, or a bottle of wine to bring back to your room for a night in, or to grab supplies for a picnic on the beach.
My husband, toddler and I stayed in a king room upstairs, and my parents were in a separate king room upstairs as well. It felt "homey" and comfortable. The staff is extremely friendly and accomodating, and the other guests we encountered were friendly, quiet, and all respectful of each other. It was the perfect long weekend stay in Coronado, but we all wished that we were staying longer!
