Liked: Cleanliness
We were in room 100. The microwave consistently blew the electrical strip making the oven unusable. There was also no thermostat control in the room. EV charging was only available from 8-11pm, which was not workable for us. The room was fine aside from the above, the location is great, and the staff was very friendly. I would probably try another spot in the area next time.

Charming hotel 5 min walk from the beach. The manager is very friendly and professional. Breakfast is not really as limited as other reviewed, designer coffee. Room is clean and quiet. There is a very good local seafood restaurant just at the end of the street.

An Exceptional Stay – We’ll Be Back!

From the moment we arrived at The Sunset Inn, we were blown away. Rishi was a gracious, attentive, and thoughtful host who made us feel completely at home. The little touches here make a huge difference — the continental breakfast with oatmeal, pastries, granola bars, cereal, fresh fruit, a lovely assortment of teas, and a coffee machine that even dispenses hot cocoa was such a treat. The bed was beyond comfortable, and we loved that the property is just a short drive to Cannery Row and Fisherman’s Wharf, plus only a five-minute walk to a scenic hike and the oceanfront — you could literally smell the sea from our room. We stayed in the Otter Cove room, and it was so cozy with its own fireplace. But the shower deserves its own paragraph — honestly, the BEST hotel shower I’ve ever experienced (and I’ve traveled a lot for work!). It felt like a spa with a rain showerhead above and a handheld with multiple massage features. We didn’t want to get out! Every room has a charming name, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and Rishi and his team are truly the hosts with the most. We can’t wait to come back — this was an exceptional stay from start to finish!
