It was extremely convenient because it was only a 2-minute walk from Old Fisherman’s Wharf, and I could easily access nearby shops on foot. I especially loved the atmosphere in the lobby — it was very pleasant and welcoming. The only downside was that the shower water kept fluctuating between hot and cold, which was a bit uncomfortable.
