The hotel room was clean and check in was easy. My only complaint was the mattress was too firm. Iike that the hotel is close to several restaurants and the harbor.

Location

Great place to stay. Walking distance to the harbor. Room was warm when we got there took a while to cool it off. It’s close to the road so you do hear that noise. Bed was so comfortable. But even with all that we would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Pros: The property is centralized, from restaurants, hiking trails, the beach, and the parking is extremely convenient. Cons: The bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. Bring your own pillows. The water pressure in the shower is very low. And the walls are not sound proof. I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Across from the Pillar Point Harbor and very walkable to the many restaurants in the area. It was pretty quiet and the room was clean and nicely decorated. Not far from the areas attractions.

Nice but paper thin walls

Only thing negative was the thin walls, I felt like the people in the next room just talking to each other were literally IN my room. Therefore I could not sleep. Which was unfortunate for $200
