Excellent place to stay with some reasonable parking options and great service! We had no trouble parking during the weekend and had a quiet room away from the street. It’s a great spot if you’re mainly looking for a place to sleep and park. It’s also within reasonable walking distance (25 minutes) of the Fisherman’s Wharf with a nice walk along the bay.
