Will stay again when here

Large, clean rooms. Happily surprised- was hardly in room so was a great value compared to other rooms here - nice bfast room too can get toast, cereal & juice in a.m. before heading out. Head over to the pier - drive right on, first 90 mins free. Then next door at the SB Harbor is the SB Waterfront walkway around the harbor.

One night stay & excellent support

One night stay, reasonably priced. Got in late, ok parking, felt safe. Friendly staff at night & in the day. Cute breakfast area not too many choices, basic continental options. Thin walls is my only complaint but its an older inn. Could hear others outside walking by & the people in both rooms on either side of me. Family & kids crying in one, and someone on a work call in the other. I left an item behind, it was easy to recover & have it returned via mail after I sent a prepaid postage label. It was packed well & sent right away. Thank you

Lindsey

Liked: Cleanliness
Very loud - people out in the parking lot talking loudly, yelling etc for hours in the middle of the night (a weeknight). My room was in the corner inches from the laundry/cleaning area so that noise was also constant. There should not be a room wedged in there. The room itself was fine and the surrounding area is okay.
