You have to keep in mind that you are staying at a historic hotel. It’s beautiful & has that old hotel feel, which I always love. The amenities are so so, but that is to be expected. With that being said the room I stayed in has all the comforts of home. It’s cozy & the water is hot :) I enjoy staying in places like this which may not be the same for everyone. The staff is very warming & welcoming; and for me that is everything when you choose a place to stay when out of town. You can walk out the front door & have an huge options of places to eat & shop. And I love that ! I would definitely book a stay at this hotel again.

This hotel has a great location, right in the heart of downtown. It is an older hotel, so if you love historical buildings you will probably appreciate this hotel. I loved it! The bed was comfortable, and the shower was perfect. They offer a very light breakfast in the morning, but with so many great options nearby, we had no plans to "fill up" on hotel breakfast.

Location!
Great location near nightlife and the theatre where we watched a comedy show. Easy walk to the wharf and Cannery Row. Parking in the garage on Franklin was a breeze. Great stay!
