The staff were friendly. Breakfast could have more variety. The location was convenient for our activities. The pool needs cleaning.

Staff were very pleasant. Carpets really need to be cleaned. Rooms were ok but mattresses need replacing too. Breakfast is very limited. Hotels very convenient though, to shopping and beach.

I stay there whenever I go to Alameda. It's right across the street from the beach and shopping mall.
I have stayed at the Coral Reef many times over the years. It is a classic 1930’s/1940’s motel so things are a bit old. But the price, value, and location are great for a traveler who enjoys a place with character and history. The website suggests they have a “business center,” but they do not have a room with a computer and printer you can access.
But the staff at front desk were very helpful and printed out my conference papers for me.
I had a great stay

I should have trusted prior reviews of this place as being a bit out-dated and run down, it certainly could use some paint and a little more TLC, however it is in a great location, beach is just across the street, and a nice shopping center with many cute stores/ wide variety of resturaunts and food choices across the other street. Overall, our goal was to just have a place to sleep in between the daily activities, and Coral Reef Inn met that need at a reasonable price.

Stay here if you are on a budget and want close access to the beach. It took me 3 times to find a good room due to fridge not working to electrical issues. Room is outdated from furniture, color, closet, carpets. They actually had boxed tv with no remote. Probably won't return to thia hotel.

The room was awful; there was no hot water to take a shower. The smell of marijuana was throughout the whole place. The walls are thin, and you could hear muffled voices through the walls. The tub had grime I could not get out. Breakfast was cookies and cereal. Choose somewhere else.

If you want to get a beautiful lake view, it’s the place to go. The only thing, you don’t get much of a continental breakfast, so bring your own. The bed and couch are also really old, & no smart TV in the bedroom.
