The template for motels to come (it was one of Best Western's first properties), the Coronado is a must for motel-history buffs. Featuring red-tile roofs, bright turquoise doors, two swimming pools and refreshed rooms, it's a handsome and historic example of the genre. Some rooms have kitchenettes, there are three laundry rooms and kids under 13 stay free.
