Even though they were sold out, and had a little issue with parking due to street parking being prevented by construction activity, we ended up having a spot each night and it was nice. This property is not walkable to fisherman's wharf, but unless you can't walk very far. You could easily do downtown by foot. Is also a trader Joe's and some restaurants within walking distance. The pool and jacuzzi were nice and the staff was very helpful. It's not a snazzy place, but very adequate and I would definitely stay there again

There isn't very good sound insulation so when other people are talking/moving around you can hear everything. The room was pretty small. The pool/hot tub were nice. Overall everything was okay, no major complaints.

Nice, clean room

Hot tub was great! The room was very clean, bed was comfortable and was plenty large enough. Bathroom was nice. It’s nice to have microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker in room for quick snacks. Seemed pretty quiet at night. Window slats looked nice, but let some light in room at night. That's just my preference as I like a dark room to sleep. Overall, I would recommend.

Pool was cold and not well kept. Hot Tub was not serviced properly, jets did not work as needed (shot into air around pool) Property charged $100.00 deposits per each room and were slow to refund.

I liked everything about this property. There was great food options near by and walkable distance. The rooms were suuuper cool and comfy. There was a pool and tub, my son loved that! It was quiet and we had our privacy for sure. Definitely recommend this place. There wasn’t complementary breakfast, however, the price was low and reasonable.

Nice rooms. Parking can be hard if they are full. It would be nice if they had towel hooks in the bathroom or room. No place to hang the towels. Noise level is when you can hear everyone walking by or up and down the stairs. Overall was very nice. Nice to have coffee options and hot chocolate in the lobby. Pool and hot tub was the reason we booked. Love it!! My biggest concern was not being advised of $200 deposit until my cancellation period was over. And the deposit can take 1-2 weeks for refund. Which is odd. Never have I had to pay such a high amount for a hotel. Especially one that takes long to refund. This is probably a deal breaker for us to stay here again. Over

We stayed two nights and the shower smelt like sewage.. The hot tub also was disappointing as it was green and when the jets came on it overflowed with foam ( also had a moldy smell). It was also moldy in between the pool area and the wall. The property was nice but these items need attending too.
