The view was the best part of the room. The heat wasn't working in my room. the temps in the room dropped to 56 degrees, (Have pictures of thermostat). When I spoke to staff about the issue, I received different answers depending on who I spoke to. The end result being the whole area was without heat, which I am pretty sure violates some code as the thermostat was inoperable. What was i offered? Not a new room, not a space heater but $50.00 off my total stay. Insulting!! Upon checkout asked for a manager, of course the info that was given to me about one was incorrect as per the usual with this place. Never spoke to one. Breakfast was horrible and I don't want to even get into the whole no hot water issue I had with the shower. There are hotels all along Cabrillo Blvd, pick somewhere else.

The location is good. The hotel needs a major overhaul. The walls and ceilings are paper thin and the bathrooms are OLD and pretty awful. There’s a lot of better options in the same area. Also, a day and a half with no hot water was a pretty unfortunate inconvenience.

Property location us great. Walking distance to State Street and Wharf. Sraff us friendly and accomodating. Breakfast buffet is great. However rooms are in dire need of renovations. Beds are lumpy, no free outlets to plug in your electronics. The bathroom...lets not talk about it. Bottomline,we would not stay there again. Too much money for what you get. Motel 6 might be a better bet.
