Unfortunately, the alarm for the restaurant business went off all night long, keeping us up. The hotel tried to help the n the middle of the night but it took a while. All said, the hotel is a great location; walking distance to many great restaurants and hotel Del Coronado

Not hot water . Bath fan dosent work . The mini split unit has a drain pain pump that’s bad and rattles super loud when it comes on . Be sure you get a 2nd story room . We had little kids above us running every morning starting at 5:30am . Cute place and nice location other than that .

Aging hotel with quirky smells. Staff dressed down nearly in pajamas and barely awake/attentive. Rodent droppings and scratch sounds in walls.

Another excellent stay at our favorite hotel. Benjamin was the perfect host and helped us with our room and parking pass. We always ask for the same room, as it was the first one we occupied, and is perfect for our needs. We were glad to have such a welcoming host and have already made another reservation.

This is a great location with a full kitchen. The front desk staff were amazing. However, there was no propane in the grills and it took 2 days for staff to address the issue. The carpet in our room was absolutely filthy and the room seemed rather worn. It looked like other rooms had wooden flooring so it may be just the room we had to unfortunately stay in for that week.
