This was a great, affordable place to stay with parking and nice deck. The rooms were nice and clean but I was very hot at night, I am not sure if there was AC available. Other than that, it was great! And great location!

Disliked: Amenities
The property is very dated. The area is a few blocks away from Alvarado Street which is the main street downtown but not walking distance to Cannery Row. The hotel had no amenities. There was no house keeping but I asked for clean towels and shampoo and they gave me shampoo and a plastic bag and said when I came back from my day out I had to put all my wet dirty towels in the plastic bag call them and then they would pick up the old towels and bring new ones. I thought they had limited towels but there was a laundry room full of them. Ice machine did not work. Overall it was overpriced for an old motel.

We enjoyed our stay except there was no A/C and there was 4 of us in this tiny room with no air. Only a sliding door which was ground level so didn’t feel safe leaving it open not knowing the area. It got very stuffy in there by the morning. Other than that it was a great stay.
