Great location, room was a little small. Walking distance to most activities. Downside on comfort, no AC. Room was humid and hot even with fan blowing at the window 24/7. Glad it wasn’t summer time, would’ve found another hotel if it wasn’t mid-October and cooler temperatures. Other than that, top notch service and location

When I selected this hotel, I thought it was a bit closer to Cannery Row but that is my fault and certainly not the hotels. The historic nature of the property is not well played. There is a lot of period furniture and such but some aspects feel very dated and are in average to poor condition. There is no elevator in one of the buildings. The check in desk is down several stairs when dropping your car off. Luckily the elevator is near that entrance but it would be better if it was signed and you didn't move all your stuff down there to just have to drag it back up. Some staff members were warm and personable (car valet) and others less so (Front Desk at check in). Room was OK. The bathroom was not nice -- it was clean but the for example the vanity was VERY low as was the toilet.

This is an older older hotel but that’s what makes it so cozy. My room didn’t have central heater/air but had a fire place. Some rooms do have Central heating and Air I think you need to ask the front desk if that’s important to you. My room was Comfy and clean. Staff was super friendly. They do provide valet parking and it is expensive they say it’s like $30+ dollars but after all these ridiculous add one it’s like $60 still it’s a great hotel

It was a nice hotel. It was noisy in the night. A lot of sound from the street but also on the hallway. It's an old complex so that makes sense, but it would be more pleasant if there was less noise.

The staff was helpful. I liked the water refill stations throughout the hotel. The location was fantastic! There are two parking garages within a block so I would not pay for valet parking. (My sister drove and we found a spot for her car for less than half the cost to valet the car with the hotel staff.) The hotel was very loud and creaky! When people walked up or down stairs, flushed or showered, it was as though they were in my room! The room was small and the carpet and blanket in the closet need a good cleaning! I probably will not stay here again, but the price and location were good for my needs.

Not a bad location but needs a serious remodel, which is a bummer cause the hotel has a cool vibe it just needs to be deep cleaned and new carpet. Staff was ok, the young man who checked us in was nice but no one seemed happy to help or be there.
