The front desk workers were friendly and helpful when it came to recommendations and any questions we had. Dennis especially gave us a good recommendation for whale watching which we saw plenty of whales so thank you Dennis. The surrounding area was really nice since the hotel is basically in the middle between Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row which made any walk easy. The view from our room was spectacular since we faced the harbor. During our stay the sea lions were on the beach in front of us which was nice but at the same time could be annoying to anyone that doesnt like a lot of sounds when sleeping. Overall the hotel pleased me and the wife and we would love to stay there again for any future vacations we do in the future. 10/10 would stay again.

The location was fantastic and we had a front row seat to the sea lions that came in to breed. The breakfast is delivered to your room! And the two hot tubs were great.

Easy parking and check in right on Cannery Row. If you're a light sleeper it may not be the place for you because the sea lions bark down on the beach all night. But it was very convenient to walk to dinner, shops, and the Aquarium during our stay.

The property made me feel safe, the staff was very nice and helpful. Loved that they brought the free continental breakfast to your room, they offered free bottles water. Was right at the oceans edge, the seals were a little annoying all night but they had a portable fan in the room that was like a white noise so we slept great. Very clean nice looking. We will absolutely stay there again. Was in walking distance to restaurants cannery row and the fishermen ward. Hot tub and fire pit made a great ending to a great day.

Fantastic location and wildlife viewing from our ocean front room! It is a great location and easy to navigate. For the breakfast menu each morning, which was lovely, it would be nice if everthing had a cover instead of using plastic cling wrap. It would also be more environmentally friendly to offer shampoo/conditioner in a large pump rather than the small single use tubes. It was a fabulous stay and I will come back again!
