The property looks much better in the pictures than in reality. It's a few blocks from the ocean but has no ocean view. Check-in is at a desk from the garage, and the rooms are motel-style, with only windows facing the outdoor hallways.

Good price for being so close to cannery row. The blinds were frayed as were the bath towels. Furniture was pretty beat up. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Seagulls on the tin roof might keep you up at night if you’re on the top floor

Great location. Steps away from all the shops/restaurants of Cannery Row at an affordable price. Staff was great. We were able to do early check-in on a busy 4th of July weekend at no extra charge! We were Also given a good bag at check in with a bunch of snacks which was perfect when we went to explore the 17 mile drive.

Clean room, great layout, and very comfortable beds. The service was great and had amazing ocean views. The only issue was the ceiling was noisy when upstairs tenants walked so it was tough when they walked into their room after midnight. Otherwise, we highly recommend staying on top level floors and enjoying the great eats recommended by the concierge.
