Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great property at the edge of Cannery Row next to San Carlos Park. Relatively quiet area. Easy walking distance to most attractions. Free trolly will take you around town - stops about a block away. Great numbers of sea lions to watch on beach next to us as well as other marine wildlife. Staff was unfailingly courteous. Another delight: they bring a continental breakfast of your choosing directly to your room. Rooms are sufficiently large and very nicely appointed. Each room has a small balcony. We really enjoyed our stay here. I was a little unhappy about the $25 per day parking until I realized it was covered parking with full in and out privileges and close to so many attractions. If you were to drive in and pay for parking, you would probably pay more.

I approached the counter and the receptionist just looked at me without any greeting or even a how can I help you. Then when I said hi he just said “what’s up”. There was no wifi coverage in the room.

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.
