I was surprised at the size of this hotel! From photos it looked like a cute little Victorian. However there is a very large building with lovely courtyards and a convenient parking lot. They have spacious rooms beautifully decorated and it just blocks away from world famous Cannery Row. The only drawback I found was with the size of the hotel, the dining room during breakfast was packed and chaotic. The food was decent however and the wonderful staff kept the buffet full.

Nice and clean room, well furnished except for nightstands and reading lights. One very small nightstand for 2 queen beds and no reading lights. Other than that highly recommended.

It was a decent place, especially for that price point. I think with the Hotels.com ranking of 9.2 I just expected a little more. The bathroom fan would short out in the refrigerator didn’t fit into the cabinet. You had to tug against the cabinet to open it. The breakfast is not good for people with dietary restrictions or wishing to eat low carb or a carb free. My friend tried the biscuits and gravy and the biscuits were not defrosted from obviously being in the freezer at night it was a nice clean room and staff was nice. I would probably stay again just with tempered expectations.

The staff were incredibly nice and helpful! We booked a week before New Year’s Eve and the prices were really affordable! The room was spacious for the price, good TV, a microwave and refrigerator, and touch lighting in the room. The only reason to give it a four was the hairdryer that was a bit dirty and didn’t work, the cheaper handsoap, and the thinner walls, although still not too noisy.
