Everything about this property is wonderful - the building is charming, the location is fantastic, the room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast (which was a very nice surprise) was a great addition to the overall experience. Staying here was the absolute highlight of our California roadtrip, we will certainly come back!
A very minor detail is that the blinds did not block out the (lovely!) California sun - and as we were travelling with a child this made for a very early wake up on the first day. We remedied it on the following days by covering our windows with our travel towels but curtains covering the window would be the perfect final addition to the room.

We got there after the staff had left; they were aware of our late arrival and had sent a text of what was waiting for us when we did arrive. The transition was smooth, and the room was Perfect! The house (a converted home once own by a Navy staff person) is in a quiet and polite neighborhood close to all the shops, restaurants, and the Beach is three blocks away. Our son is stationed on Coronado in the Navy, so we visit him a dozen times a year and love visiting all the shop on the island.
I think for what they did to turn that house into a BB was quite good. We are going back again later next year and will give review than.

The location is perfect. It's right off of Orange Ave which has lots of dining options, the beach is a few minutes away. The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was varied. They had pastries, boiled eggs, yogurt, cheese and coffee. The TV had streaming apps loaded so you could logon to your streaming services if you didn't like what was on the TV. There are rocking chairs in the front, an outside eating area in the back and lawn games as well. It's a true B&B that feels like a home away from home.
They don't have on-site parking, but there is street parking which is free. You just have to hope that you get a spot nearby. Some people may find that a front desk is necessary, but the staff provides information on what to do when they are gone if you need help and there are signs as well. I think that all rooms are on the second floor, which may be problematic if you cannot climb stairs. The rooms are smaller than one might expect, which may be troublesome if you have big bags.

Loved the outside grounds, the quietness of being in the neighborhood and loved the closeness, the easiness to walk to shopping, restaurants. Loved the butterflies flying all around the front yard. Liked the breakfast available and the dining room to be able to visit with family and other guests.
I would prefer a room that included the bathroom. It was a great bathroom, just did not like having to leave room and be in hallway to go use it, mostly in evening. Room 12.

The property was beautiful, the porches were wonderful to sit and relax. We found the Bnb to be very clean very quiet and very comfortable. The breakfast is more of a continental breakfast rather than a breakfast, we would have liked to maybe see a little bit more options maybe some cereals or Oatmeal options. The beds were extremely comfortable, the pillows were a little bit hard, the rooms were clean and cozy and very quiet. We will be returning to the Cherokee Lodge and probably making it or go to place to stay when we are in Coronado several times a year. Just throwing out a suggestions, having a couple of bikes for people to ride around the island would be fabulous as well .
We loved everything about the property

Breakfast options excellent, communication excellent, check-in all smooth
There was an issue with the electrical panel and had no fridge/AC working because of that, we arrived at 7pm, so no staff around. But as soon as we informed the host, she was willing to come and help solving the problem. We told her it was not necessary (45 min drive) and we moved the fridge etc with her consent. Day after host immediately checked in with us and refunded the room after we checked out. That is an amazing guest service and we very much appreciate that we were reimbursed for the inconvenience.

Pleasant stay, cozy old B&B in the perfect location for our stay on Coronado Island. We didn't take advantage of the extended continental breakfast, but they had all the essentials and a small room to enjoy the offerings, or you can take it back to your room. The room was perfect for us, except the bathroom needed some touch up and loving care. The room had all the essentials too. The mattresses were well used and had sunken in the middle which made for too soft of a mattress for me. Other than needing new mattresses, the room was exactly right, and we enjoyed the separate, private entrance around the back of the property with a nice-sized patio just outside our door. It is also a ground floor room which made it perfect for my wife. The air conditioner does tend to produce a lot of moisture condensation which pools on the floor in front of the refrigerator, TV and dresser (and all the way to the door). A few small fixes and the room would be perfect.
See the note above regarding the mattresses and air conditioner flooding. The mirrors in the bathroom were both too high for my wife to use for her hair or makeup. The bathroom plug plate needs to be properly installed and tightened into the wall housing. The paint job in the bathroom was a rush job, and very messy. The paint in our room was pristine in contrast. The ceiling lamps/fans both need to have pull controls to allow the use of the fan without the light, and visa versa. Using the wall switch only doesn't allow for those options.

Very kind staff, room was very clean and location is great.
Our room was very noisy from the office and whoever was above us and around us. Lots of banging. Our shower on 3 occasions became scalding hot when someone in the building flushed a toilet or turned on water, not really sure what prompted it to happen. It was actually painful. Parking could be an issue, especially in the summer months. We had to park a couple of blocks away a couple of times.

The location is wonderful. It's a short walk to the beach and I took a stroll and/or jogged each day. Also, very close to the main street where there are shops, restaurants, groceries, etc. Check out Dinky Donuts for a little, but awesome donut or breakfast burrito. The town is "beachy Parisian". Lots of croissants and coffee and trendy boutiques as well as beachy stores. Cute bookstore with children's books.
The lodge a bit dark and dated. The furniture is antiques which makes it look older. It is very clean and I had everything that I needed. I would definitely stay again due to the location. If I owned the place, I would refresh it all - but then it would definitely be more expensive!

PERFECT LOCATION! Could not have had a better location to Orange Avenue or the beach even if we tried. The on-street parking was no issues we were always within 30 seconds of the property. BREAKFAST WAS GOOD! We were usually up by around 9:30am to grab some breakfast and there was a lot of choice avaliable.
We stayed in room 12 which has a private bathroom located in the main hallway, and not located inside the actual bedroom. We were aware of this when making the booking, but of course it would have been nicer if we had an integral bathroom inside the room - needless to say it would not stop us from staying at Cherokee Lodge again. Only other thing we found was that it can get rather noisy when other guests are arriving at the property at night time (floorboards creak, doors are loud etc), again we were expecting this as it is such an old property, but at one point we thought there might have been a ghost roaming the house, although this was not a dealbreaker and we would still stay again, happily.
