Parking was very easy and available across the street. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Very informative of the area with recommendations for things to do and restaurants. Great location, close to Mansions, shops and water.
In a great location, nice staff, very clean and room was spacious. Easy to walk to the cliff walk and the wharfs.

Delightful place to stay and the room, breakfast and decor were all excellent. The manager was very friendly and informative on her favorite spots around town.
It is a very nice, cozy, conveniently located hotel.
The staff is very welcoming and friendly.
Check-in and checkout were super easy.
The breakfast that's included in the stay is wonderful, too.
Fresh fruits, chia pudding, homemade omelet bake, yougurt...

enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. I felt like i was staying in a home, not a hotel room. Loved the variety of breakfast items, the Chia seed pudding my favorite. Coffee was excellent offered all day a bonus. Home made cookie at night was a nice way to end the day. The staff was friendly and and there whatever you need. i look forward to staying there again. This is HOME.
Clean and spacious king suite. Comfy bed. Parking was tight. Area around place not visually appealing, nothing but parking lots. Close enough to restaurants to enable you to walk into town. Several good restaurants nearby.
Room was not very clean and there were lots of little items such as rugs, furniture etc that needed repair and made the place look tacky because they had stains or pieces falling apart. It was also very expensive, especially for what you got. Would not recommend staying, only good thing was location.
