This is a boutique hotel so there isn't a bar or restaurant but they have frig & Kerig in the room. The bed was super comfy and pillows were great. I just loved the location next to a big park with a beach and fisherman's wharf.

We went here on a Valentine’s weekend and it was a great spot. It was perfect because they gave us an ocean view with a mini balcony. I had also reserved a nice restaurant way at the end of the road towards the aquarium. We could’ve walked but it was alittle chilly. The room was clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Although, there was parking underneath the hotel, it’s a little bit narrow and a full size SUV would have a hard time parking there.

Location is excellent. Walking ...

Location is excellent. Walking distance to the USCG pier where I always find sea otters to photograph (all the photos of the otters and the video were taken on the pier, about a 5 minute walk from the hotel). Walking distance to restaurants and even a 7-11 up the street for late night munchies. The view from the balcony with the sounds of the Pacific were enough reason to leave the sliding door open with the screen closed the entire time. My only complaint was the thin ceiling. My last night there someone was walking with heavy feet for like an hour. I called the desk to complain and the noise stopped within 10 minutes and I was able to sleep. Maybe I'll ask for a room on the top floor next time. All the of the staff was friendly. They were extremely polite and eager to help. Offered me water anytime I was in the lobby!

My son and I stayed here last week. Property was very clean and we have no complaints. The rooms were very nice and the views were unbeatable. I would absolutely stay here again! We were able to see otters out in the water and even saw a sea lion swimming by playing during sunrise. The staff was incredibly polite during check in. It’s such a great location and walkable to many things.

The hallways aren't the nicest but the rooms are beautiful so dont judge the outside. The location is amazing and walking distance to aquarium, wharf and more. Theres a beach right next door and the rooftop hot tub is amazing. Love it here! Michelle was so helpful and incredibly nice! Can't wait to come back!

Top notch service for ...

Top notch service for a small hotel. Great views from the room of the beach, ocean and harbor. We saw and heard seals from our room. The room had binoculars we used to see all sorts of nature. They have covered parking, housekeeping, breakfast delivered to the room (hard boiled eggs,fruit,pastries, coffee,milk,orange juice) at a time you pick. We walked to the main cannery row a few times. They have 2 hot tubs 4th floor and 2nd floor small but clean and powerful jets. The bathroom has 2 sinks and a separate room for the toilet. Plenty of towels a large closet with a safe. What a great place for a great time. We will be back!
