It is very well maintained property and the staff was super nice. We loved the breakfast, well decorated corridors and room.
The room was very spacious with beautiful ocean views.
I wish we would have stayed here longer.
Will certainly recommend to my friends and colleagues.

Great place to stay. Easy walk to the Embarcadero. The venue offers breakfast in the morning. Wish it began before 7:30. Some of us are early risers.

the location and cleanliness of the place is great. The hotel is pet friendly, but they only accept a handful of pets , so make sure to let them know that you are bringing a pet right after you book the room.

I liked that it was within walking distance of the shops and restaurants. We did pay for an ocean view room, you had to go out on the patio to see a partial bay view. You couldn’t see the ocean from our room.

The manager working on duty named Brian was absolutely wonderful. Helped us also communicate with another hotel that we had left. He helped get them to refund our payment for the night we left because it was a horrible hotel
