The service was amazing. Gave us all kinds of information with regards to restaurants, breweries, art museums and more. Our room was nice and the bed was so comfortable I slept a solid 8 hours and that rarely happens. We will definitely be back.

Great small hotel in a convenient location with direct access to 101 and within a short walk to the harbor and shopping/restaurant area of town. The junior suite was a great room and we will highly recommend it to others.
