The property was located right in Cannery Row making it very convenient for walking. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and I appreciated the little coffee machine. The only drawbacks were thin walls, loud birds early in the morning, and limited “extras” (no hair conditioner, few towels, only one day supply of coffee, etc.)
