"Great location. This is a typical upscale hotel for the area. The shower in our room could've been in better condition. Be sure to take advantage of the fireplace and water access. The staff was exceptionally professional, attentive, and courteous. The only issue was returning to our room and finding pieces of partially-eaten fruit on the hallway floor, but it was removed by the time we left in the morning.2017-07-13"

"The hotel room had a great view. However, the bathroom lighting was poor, and there was no clothes hook. The shower was hard to turn on, and the water never got hot. These small things took away from the experience.2020-07-21"

"Good rates. The architecture was beautiful, and the atmosphere was historic and fun. The amenities weren't top-of-the-line, but you're paying for the experience here.2020-09-16"
"Older hotel, and the architecture was lovely. Poor soundproofing, though. The continental breakfast was delicious and fresh. The elevator wasn't working, so I got a lot of exercise. Other than that, it was a good visit.2015-10-29"

"My room was small and oddly organized, but the amenities were really lovely. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Happy hour was relaxing, but the pizza was just passable. The floor in the reception area was gorgeous. I'd stay here again, but I'd want a larger room.2016-03-24"

"Great location. The motel room was nice, but the lighting was cold and glaring and couldn't be adjusted. No reading lamp. It was 80 degrees in the room when we arrived. The AC was loud and blew air directly on the bed. The digital clock was so bright that we had to turn it to the wall to sleep. I wouldn't stay here again.2017-05-02"
"Short walk to the wharf, shops, and pier. The room was clean, cozy, and nicely remodeled. Friendly staff. The continental breakfast was a welcome bonus, with a good, plentiful selection. Don't be fooled by the look of the exterior, which is still under renovation. This motel is well worth a stay.2016-01-16"

"Convenient to downtown and Highway 1. Good value. The motel room was spacious and recently renovated, so everything looked new and clean. The bed was comfortable, but I kept bumping my foot on the metal bar at the bed base. The fridge made a constant ticking sound.2020-03-10"

"The motel was OK if you just want a place to sleep. The bed was comfortable, but there was no AC, which made for a warm August night. The office staff recommended leaving the sliding glass door open; I was on the ground floor, and the room opened up to a side street, so there was no way I was leaving the slider open.2019-09-02"
"Not a good value. The only thing going for this motel was the pool. The room was mediocre; there was no AC, and the screens for the window and sliding door were broken or torn.2019-08-14"

"Walk to malls, shops, and restaurant. About a 15-minute walk to downtown transit connections and the free trolley to Fisherman's Wharf and the aquarium. Good value. We had a better than expected stay at this hotel. It had new exterior paint, new parking lot surface, and colorful flowers. It was quieter than anticipated. The room was updated; nice design and quality finishes. There were a number of selections at the continental breakfast. We were pleased with our choice; give it a try.2017-11-12"
