A perfect stay for a romantic weekend getaway. The room were very cute with the fireplace and view of Cannery Row, and the plus was that it had a sauna! You can't beat the convenience on staying on Cannery Row just steps away from the aquarium and multiple restaurants and shops. We will definitely return!

Amazing hotel, spacious room. It was warm the day we got there and there is no a/c. Windows do open and offer a nice breeze just wish they had screens. Bed was very firm if you like that. Bay view was gorgeous!!!!

I like, very much, that they serve breakfast and bring it to your room. I do miss, though, the full breakfast like we had the last time we stayed here instead of a continental one. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I also like the Valet parking option. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are roomy and very clean. They knew it was our anniversary, so they brought us a bottle of wine with a note and it was in our room when we first walked in. Very nice! Hope to visit again soon.. lovely place.

The breakfast was always late and not very good. The front desk was not efficient and we waited more than 30 minutes for our valet parked car. The room was nice. The bathroom ok. Bathtub shower combination was fine. I prefer separate shower stall.

This was perfect for our three-generation visit.
We came for the aquarium as my grandson had never been. We also wanted to spend some time on the beach. I just wanted a hotel that would feel special and wouldn't require driving or walking long distances.

Loved the hotel and had a wonderful time. It’s not updated but it was by no means run down. We loved the boutique hotel feel, the comfy bed, the seats by the fireplace were comfortable and the window seat was perfect. We spent a lot of time by the window watching the ocean and it was lovely. We will definitely return!

Absolutely LOVED the water view from our room! The continental breakfast was just right (we each had a yogurt, fresh fruit, a croissant and a hard boiled egg). You can pick from any or choose all of these items. You also have a choice of three different cereals and a beverage (ex: tea, coffee, OJ). The bathroom was large with a shower and tub option. We enjoyed cheese, crackers and a glass of wine (offered between 4:30-6:00 in the lobby). No complaints here! We loved our stay ❤️

Very disappointed !! For the price that we paid. This room was very outdated. When I first got there, refrigerator door was broken how to have them come fix it. The plumbing was horrible when using the bathroom toilet did not flush properly. Tiny little sink with no counter space to put our stuff away. No water pressure very little to none. Scratches on the bathroom wall lots of scuffs. Breakfast was not good not a lot of selection. I will not be staying there again.
