The harbor view rooms are right on the street. Our room was by the corner at the stop light. The vehicles taking off were so loud all day and night! We hardly slept. The room was nice. The balcony was so tiny, you could barely sit out there. The thing we loved was location, within walking distance of everything we wanted to do.

Great hotel location. 0.4 miles =0.644 kilometers = 8 minute walk to pier and State Street. Best part of the hotel is the excellent breakfast 7-10am. Also has afternoon wine reception (did not partake). Rooms are a little dated but clean. Good value. Great restaurant next door for dinner.

Uncomfortable mattress, outdated bathroom, dirty room, noise from guests walking on floor above. Guest services were super kind and helpful but don’t recommend this place for a comfortable nights sleep.

We stayed with our 5 month old baby all night in 50 degree weather in a room with a broken heater. We told the front desk they wouldn’t come up until we contacted them repeatedly. They finally came up and confirmed the heater was broken. They then offered a space heater that was also broken. I asked for a refund they said to speak to Expedia, Expedia said to speak to the hotel. In the end all I got was $25 and a sick baby and got sick myself. Additionally the walls here are very thin and could hear people in the other rooms all night. Staff didn’t seem concerned whatsoever that we were in the cold with a baby all night and the next morning. Only stayed one night but regret it.

On Night
Nice little hotel by the harbor. Five stars all around, except for some reason I always get the room with the annoying heater/fan/ac. Turns on/off way too frequently and makes enough noise to keep me awake. Otherwise, the place is pretty quiet, friendly staff and free breakfast.

nice and comfortable renovated room next to harbor
nice and clean comfortable stay motel located just next to the harbor side. Room was renovated with a dual pane sliding patio door to block out noise from the busy intersection. Our 2 night stay included free breakfast which served bagels bread and scrambled eggs out of a box kind. Unfortunately, no DIY pancake waffle makers like most hotel chains have.

Great location to relax after flying long haul from Australia and hiring a car at LAX to start our epic adventure. Friendly staff and great location to recover from jet lag. The breakfast was also more than adequate to start a road trip up to San Francisco the next day.

Very nice and clean hotel with excellent complimentary breakfast buffet. The room was very comfortable. Our room faced the park across the street. The street tends to be busy so it’s a bit noisy but things quiet down substantially at night. The only negative was the towels which are always damp due to the bathroom vent not being adequate. We would stay here again in the future.
