We picked this hotel because it was dog friendly and well rated. Booking through Expedia apparently didn't explain the full process. Looking through the website a few days before our reservation we found a note about contacting the hotel to let them know we were bringing a dog. This was apparently not enough notice and they had to downgrade our room to a queen with no discount. The Queen bed itself was deformed with slumps in the middle of each side. It creacked all night and we slept only an hour or two. Otherwise, the room was clean and the water got hot. The location was great and you could walk to all the shops in the Bay.

A disappointed guest

Rated poor due to after half hour there we went to dinner got called to come back pick up our pups. This supposed to be pet friendly we can’t take to restaurant, we were told they barking and guest complained. We feel people should know pups bark when they hear noise they are good pups, so we paid just 91.00 just for the pups and really didn’t get use of room. We’ve stayed at numerous hotels pet friendly even ritzy ones and never no troubles. In the end the guest was banging doors making all kinds of noise till midnight and they were worse than pups barks. Wont go back. So disappointed.

The man who checked us in was not very nice. He seemed annoyed we were there late, checked in about 9:30pm. The room was small, old and dated. There was rust on the ceiling vents. The bed was very hard.

Quiet and clean

I would have given 5 stars but our room key was turned off before the check out time. I was loading up to leave and couldn’t get back in the room for the rest of my stuff. Luckily my husband was still in the room. Overall the room was good and quiet place to stay. In walking distance of shopping and restaurants

Great location and very friendly. Will stay again due to location and dog friendliness. They could use some updates on the furnishings, but overall I would recommend this spot.
