Just needs one change

Stay was excellent. Beautiful views of the Bay. Excellent customer service. Beds and pillows were amazingly comfortable. However, the hotel and rooms overall needs renovations and is showing it's age and is looking very worn. You are paying for the view. Other than that, I would stay again.

This place was amazing for the price. Breakfast, which came with the cost of the room, was delivered to our door each morning. The room and bathroom were very large, and there was a balcony with great views. I'm a pillow snob and was elated when I saw a placard on the desk with a "pillow menu." Located next to Cannery Row it was convenient for shopping and dining. I would definately stay again and recommend.

The property location was perfect, very convenient. Didn’t like that the fireplace terrace wasn’t ocean view at all and the hot tubs and hotel itself was a little outdated. Staff was very friendly.

Lovely hotel

Beautiful room, super comfortable bed and linens. Bathroom was so roomy and cozy. The in room continental breakfast was such a nice touch. Our only complaint was the very noisy seals below our gorgeous patio. We know the hotel has no control over this but I definitely wouldn’t pay the extra for balcony room. We could walk all over too which was perfect

Wonderful views and convenient location

Loved our 2 day stay in the King Balcony, Harbor View. The room was large and cute balcony with great view. The bed was super comfortable, the weather allowed us to keep the doors open and hear the ocean waves. Loved the breakfast delivery, the robes in our room, the hot tubs on the 2nd and 4th floor, the area was quiet and convenient. We took the trolley to Fisherman's wharf, going in that direction (rather than towards cannery row) the bus stop was located up the street on Reeside and Foam. There's a new deli and a restaurant upstairs across the park in the Breakwater cove marina- Osteria de Mare, it was delicious, highly recommend. we wished we knew about the deli before but we didn't know, so didn't get to try it but they make their own break.

Amazing trip

Our trip was amazing. We were celebrating a big birthday and an anniversary trip and the girl with long blonde hair with glitter pieces in her hair was so nice and welcoming. She asked where we were eating and gave us a voucher for that restaurant. She really went above and beyond for our trip. We felt special.
