The Hotel itself was clean etc. The management was terrible. Dealing with an issue from bar/service and they tried to charge our group twice for items already paid for. Manager was extremely rude and very condescending while we were providing proof of purchase and still continued to try and charge us. Ultimately had it removed from our bill but it ruined the entire experience. If you stay here be sure to close out your bill immediately and KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS after checking the itemized amount to be sure it's accurate. SPA amenities were very nice and I would recommend them.

We came for our honeymoon and I did my research to find a good hotel. It’s a beautiful hotel but I didn’t realize how stinky it would be because of the warf being right there. They also were pretty hard to get a hold of when we were calling. The guy was always busy or just not there. Then we didn’t realize there wasn’t room service and the food from their restaurant was below average for high prices. So it was a bummer having to go get it. Again we were on our honeymoon and wanted to split a bit more. But then by no fault of the hotel the power went out from 6:30pm-12:30am and they were very apologetic. They did give us $100 off but honestly I think we should have gotten almost the whole day comped from not being able to 1 get food, use the tv or anything and having to walk up and down 5 flights of stairs…. So overall I had a good time because of being with my new husband but was disappointed in the experience :/ the staff was very friendly though. Eros one of the Bellman was the star example of what service should be. Very friendly and has the guest in mind. Deserves a raise and praise indeed.

This is a nice hotel, though it does have a bit of a weird sprawling layout. The rooms are a bit small and I wouldn't stay more than a couple of days. I didn't think the value was particularly great. Its convenient for walks along the front and is pretty close to the wharf area for restaurants and shops. Its a decent walk to the aquarium (we had small children with us) but it was pleasant and they got to see the seals on the way, however probably took us 20 mins to get to that area. We used the pool once which was a little cold and you have to walk across one of the 'through' streets to the spa building which is separate from the hotel (as I say..weird layout). The children enjoyed the pool and the hot tub was nice size, neither are particularly big though. We ate at the hotel a couple of times and this was ok though there wasn't a great deal of choice and was relatively expensive. Parking is ok with a parking lot attached to the Spa and we didn't have any issue with this. The hotel is clean with a nice decor and experience, just a little sprawling. We had a pleasant stay and visited Santa Cruise and Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park from here as well as Carmel and 17 mile drive, all of which were really enjoyable.
