It very dirty and the front desk was very rude. This place is definitely not what hotels.com says it is. $162 is wayyyyy too much to pay for this place. The spa??? DIRTY

I was surprised at the size of this hotel! From photos it looked like a cute little Victorian. However there is a very large building with lovely courtyards and a convenient parking lot. They have spacious rooms beautifully decorated and it just blocks away from world famous Cannery Row.
The only drawback I found was with the size of the hotel, the dining room during breakfast was packed and chaotic. The food was decent however and the wonderful staff kept the buffet full.
Nice and clean room, well furnished except for nightstands and reading lights. One very small nightstand for 2 queen beds and no reading lights. Other than that highly recommended.
