This is wonderful. My grandparents were there in 1916 when my mother was 1 month old. Is there a register or other book showing who stayed in Tent City? I would love to find their names listed. Thank you.

The hotel was the setting in the novel Bid Time Return by Richard Matheson that was later made into the movie Somewhere in Time, but with a different location.

So stay at the Hotel Del Coronado because you might just meet a famous person; or a ghost I don't really know.
