I liked that it was so close to the Wharf and shops. We had a Jr. Suite which had 2 sleeping areas each with its own TV. And the refrigerator (of all things, lol) was larger than the average mini fridge in most hotels. Loved it

DON'T STAY HERE!! There was a bloody pillow case in our room along with a dirty towel and the lock didn't work either. It was just for decoration. Called to try to get the bloody pillow issue fixed but all they offered was a new pillow case. Our stay was just to spend the night, realized about the pillow after 10 p.m had it to wake up at 3:30 a.m didn't had time to be calling the front again , to tell them about the lock or the dirty towel the next morning. VERY DISAPPOINTED

The only good thing about this property is that the parking is gated and its within walkable distance to fishermans wharff. The hotel is super dated. No AC which is fine because your close to the beach. Bad things about the property: they have more rooms than parking spots (51 rooms, 29 parking behind gate)so if you dont go early you may or may not get a spot. If you do get there early they charge a 15 fee for early parking on top of the 30 a night parking but your pretty much forced into it because if you wait they may not have parking for you. If you book directly with them and not third party the parking is cheaper. They shut boiler off in the middle of the night so that the heater doesnt work so if you have the heater on it just blows cold air. We asked why it wasnt working and they stated sometimes people complain it gets too hot so they shut it off in the middle of the night. You have to call the front desk to have it turned on. Customer service was not great. The woman working at the front did not seem happy to be answering any questions. The wallpaper in the room was falling off. Limited outlets and most were behind furniture. The sheets appeared to be stained so im not even sure if they were changed before we got there. Ive stayed at this hotel 3 times and this time was the worst. It wasnt worth splurging on the larger room and the customer service was better in the past. They didnt charge for parking in the past and now do. Not sure if id stay here again.
