Great staff, very accommodating. Given a room with a view. However, had to move to another room as a result of smoke odor left by previous occupant(s). Constantly barking seals in the harbor posed concern for light sleepers.

The staff and service was great. The complimentary intercontinental breakfast was a good way to start the day. We also loved the hot tub on the 4th floor, it had an amazing view of the bay. We will definitely be coming back when we need a little break from the hustle and bustle of the city life!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The front desk staff seemed to think they were entitled and doing me a favor to allow me to stay in this hotel. They were less than accommodating for an early check in. I arrived earlier than the scheduled check in at 4pm. I requested an early check in and they stated they would call. No call. I came back at 3:30 as I watched them check other guests in. They offered all the guest ear plugs but not me. You need ear plugs due to the seals. The bathrooms are out dated, hair in the tub, comforter on bed old and dirty. When I asked for water was told it’s in the room.. it wasn’t so I had to call down to get some. I would not stay at this hotel again. BTW no air conditioning. Not a big deal per the front desk. however you can’t have your slider open because of the seals noise so yes. big deal!

Wonderful view overlooking the Warf. Great bed and bathroom. However, it was noisy with the patio door open because the sea lions and harbor seals were barking all night!

Parking was convenient. Breakfast in the room was a plus. The upgrade in our room was an unexpected bonus. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony during Car Week and viewing the cars that passed. Staff recommendations for restaurants were spot on.

Customer service is excellent! We’ve stayed there to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries for several years. Walkable to restaurants, bars and shopping on Cannery Row. Park our car when we arrive and don’t need it again until we leave. Special touches such as cookies in the lobby in the afternoons. Love watching the otters and sea lions from our balcony.
