Excellent customer service. Clean. quiet. Enjoyed the breakfast/breakfast room (nice selection, great coffee, and fresh fruit). Nice covered outdoor hot tub. Felt like a bed-and-breakfast versus a motel vibe. Very comfortable. Can’t wait to go back.

I was surprised at the size of this hotel! From photos it looked like a cute little Victorian. However there is a very large building with lovely courtyards and a convenient parking lot. They have spacious rooms beautifully decorated and it just blocks away from world famous Cannery Row. The only drawback I found was with the size of the hotel, the dining room during breakfast was packed and chaotic. The food was decent however and the wonderful staff kept the buffet full.

It was a decent place, especially for that price point. I think with the Hotels.com ranking of 9.2 I just expected a little more. The bathroom fan would short out in the refrigerator didn’t fit into the cabinet. You had to tug against the cabinet to open it. The breakfast is not good for people with dietary restrictions or wishing to eat low carb or a carb free. My friend tried the biscuits and gravy and the biscuits were not defrosted from obviously being in the freezer at night it was a nice clean room and staff was nice. I would probably stay again just with tempered expectations.
