The room had a very nice view and was spacious (huge bathroom). Location was walking distance to cannery row and aquarium. Right on the beach, you can walk down to the water. Lovely fountain outside. Nice hot tub on the 4th floor overlooking the water.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel and accommodations were fine. However, the parking spaces were extremely tight and limited and the main issue was the noise. The Sea Lions and birds were soo loud that it felt like we were living scenes out of My Cousin Vinny. It also didn’t help tgat the person in the room below us was smokingn THC throughout our stay.

The view is amazing and so is the service. Love breakfast brought to the spacious room. Really appreciate the full closet so our bags can be put away for the stay. Hot tub on the roof is grand, but be sure to bring towels and robes from your room. Staff super friendly and helpful, and daily maid service was a treat

This hotel was really nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was beautiful, spacious and clean. We enjoyed the amazing views from the balcony and had breakfast there every morning. Breakfast was delivered to you every morning! We slept with the sliding door open to enjoy the amazing weather and to hear the sea lions throughout the night! Awesome experience!

Room and view was great! Bed was super comfy and there was a lot of room in both the bathroom and bedroom. I put out my choice for breakfast each night, but never received my breakfast which was a bummer but wouldn’t stop me from booking again! Really liked the location and the stay.

There were guests on my floor that kept smoking weed throughout the night. We had to bring it up to the staff twice. There was also a gap under the door that allowed all the smell to come in the room where I was staying with my wife and newborn.
