We traveled with family and little kids. We picked this location for the pool and hot tub. We booked a one bedroom so that the kids could nap in peace while we watched TV. The room is spacious with fridge and microwave. It's a 10 minute drive to the aquarium. I recommend this place.

TV did not work in bedroom. After being serviced it worked for about 5 minutes after the maintenance guy left. The room does not have independent temp control. I like my room cool and it was a warm weekend and had no way to cool down room aside from slider open and it was not enough. Beds are very springy, pillows were very nice tho. Parking is tight but not ridiculous. It’s an old place that has been somewhat updated. It’s not bad but I will pay the little xtra for Hilton (I’ve stayed before )next time. Enclosed is a photo of our view of the bay which is better than nothing. There was nothing about the hotel that made me want to take any pictures good or bad.

Even though they were sold out, and had a little issue with parking due to street parking being prevented by construction activity, we ended up having a spot each night and it was nice. This property is not walkable to fisherman's wharf, but unless you can't walk very far. You could easily do downtown by foot. Is also a trader Joe's and some restaurants within walking distance. The pool and jacuzzi were nice and the staff was very helpful. It's not a snazzy place, but very adequate and I would definitely stay there again

There isn't very good sound insulation so when other people are talking/moving around you can hear everything. The room was pretty small. The pool/hot tub were nice. Overall everything was okay, no major complaints.

Nice property! Overall a really good stay with easy check in and a nice, clean room. Only thing is that I wish the pool was open later since there isn’t a life guard there anyways.
