Best Western
Coronado Motor Hotel
Located in the historic district of downtown Yuma, the Best Western
Coronado Motor Hotel is Yuma's first motor hotel and it is Best
Western's oldest facility. John and Marie Peach opened this adobe
motor hotel in 1938, called it Casa de Coronado. It is still in the
Peach family, now run by John and Yvonne Peach, although it has
expanded to offer quite a bit more than the original motel.
Today,
the Best Western Coronado Motor Hotel offers 86 rooms with King and
Queen beds, 23 non-smoking rooms, 20 family units, electronic
door locks, kitchenettes, complimentary continental breakfast, free
local calls, two laundry facilities, in-room safes, ironing boards
and irons in all rooms, hair dryers in all rooms, TV with VCR in all
rooms plus a library of over 600 movies at no charge, two outdoor
swimming pools (one heated), a Jacuzzi available to in the King
rooms, data jack phones, a restaurant and lobby adjacent to the
hotel, and it is within walking distance of historical and cultural
sites of Yuma. Children under 12 can stay at no charge in the same
room with their parents. (Please click on photos to enlarge)
Not
only is the Best Western Coronado a pleasant, comfortable and secure
place to stay, offering all the conveniences business travelers or
vacationers need, it also houses a private museum open by
appointment only. The Peach family has a love of history that is
apparent by the photos and memorabilia they have collected and
displayed celebrating Yuma's past as well as the history of their
family and the hotel. The museum is the original lobby of the hotel
and houses the original switchboard, Best Western convention
pictures, travel guides, cash registers and magazines; along with
vintage kitchenware and clothing.
Another
historical aspect of the hotel is the first plane to land in Arizona
landed on October 25, 1911, on what is now the current site of the
Yuma Landing Restaurant. The restaurant is also owned and run by the
Peach family, and again, the walls are adorned with historical
aircraft memorabilia as well as beer and citrus supplier labels.
Both
the hotel and restaurant have a friendly and responsive staff that
believe the needs and desires of their guests are their first
priority. It is refreshing in the this day of automated everything.
With a history of more than fifty years of providing top notch
hospitality for hundreds of satisfied guests, staying at the Best
Western Coronado Motor Hotel is a safe bet whether you are visiting
Yuma and enjoying the sunshine and history, or you are visiting for
business reasons.
