Nice place, great location, good bed and I liked the deck with the ocean view. The staff was nice and accommodating to our small dog. My only suggestion is to replace the carpet with a laminate floor as the carpet takes a beating from the beach. Overall, a good place to post up for a few days.

Lovely clean room, great size! Bathroom appeared to have recently been updated, hot shower and lovely fluffy towels! The beds were super comfy! Location was great! Only downside they didn't offer breakfast, but that really wasn't a big issue! We only stayed one night, but would happily stay for multiple nights, if back in the area!

Rooms were clean and affordable for summer rates. They allow pets, which is always a plus. Staff was friendly and had no issues with them. Also, the location is very convenient. You are in close proximity to the downtown area and only two blocks away from the embarcadero. I would definitely stay here again. My only gripes are minimal: the parking lot is pretty tight so some guests may have had to park on the street. And the microwave in our room sounded like it was going to explode. Also, no swimming pool or hot tub in case anyone is wondering, but this was not something I was looking for anyway.
