The current issue of Connecticut Bride chose the 1906 Lodge as one of the five best Honeymoon spots.   We couldn’t agree more!

The writer loved the whole town  but insisted “you’ve gotta stay somewhere off the beaten path – a true hideaway.  We loved the 1906 Lodge, a quaint boutique hotel where you’ll feel right at home in any of the 17 guest rooms or suites.”

The Tea Garden Suite was singled out as the favorite room, with its in-room spa tub, fireplace, and private porch with a view of the garden courtyard.

Whether you’re planning a honeymoon or just a romantic getaway, we’re the place to stay in Coronado if not all of Southern California.

As reported in ecoronado.com and the San Diego Union Tribune……..

Coronado’s wide and sandy shoreline once again has made Dr. Beach’s list of top 10 U.S. beaches, moving up one spot this year to No. 3.

Coronado has been improving its ranking each year on the list created since 1991 by Stephen Leatherman, aka Dr. Beach. The director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research uses 50 criteria to evaluate beaches, including water and sand quality, water temperature and cleanliness.

No other California beaches made the list, which was released Thursday.

1. Coopers Beach, Southampton, N.Y.
2. Siesta Beach, Sarasota, Fla.
3. Coronado Beach, CA
4. Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks, N.C.
5. Main Beach, East Hampton, N.Y.
6. Kahanamoku Beach, Waikiki, Honolulu.
7. Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod, Mass.
8. Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, S.C.

Guests of the Lodge were treated to great weather and great fun last weekend.  The annual flower show in Spreckels Park drew all ages.  Our two year old guest combined flower viewing and a romp on the playground.

On Sunday, Motor Cars on Mainstreet was the main attraction with hundreds of vintage cars on display just 2 blocks from the Lodge.  Owner Dave Gillingham’s 1972 VW bus was on display but it was outshown by this wonderful 1947 Mercury woodie.  Guests Tom and Peggy from the midwest couldn’t resist a photo in front of the perfectly restored California cruiser!

The monthly Coronado FOCUS (Friends of Children United Society) meeting was held April 21st at the 1906 Lodge. This organization raises funds to benefit disadvantaged and disabled children in San Diego County. The featured speaker was Erica Johnson, Community Relations coordinator at South Bay Community Services. The meeting was followed by lunch in the Arts and Crafts decorated dining room. Innkeeper Susan Nelson’s Three Cheese Strata was a big hit for lunch. This is one of the seven unique recipes offered each week for breakfast at the Lodge.
