Great location. Nice hotel.
Pros:

The room was a good size and had a small balcony, which was nice. Bathroom was nicely separated from the bedroom with a thick door. He room was nice and dark making sleep easier. The ice machine was convenient. Breakfast was okay.

Cons:

You sometimes hear people moving around upstairs and water running. It’s a little intrusive but not enough to keep you awake.

In spite of the drizzly weather, we had a good time staying at the hotel.
Pros:

All hotel personnel are very helpful. I really mean it.

Cons:

The bed that we slept in had a minor dent/saggy part. Not a big issue.

Pros:

The room was spacious and clean. The location was good.

Cons:

The bathroom door squeaked. It was fixed while I was out.
The bathroom faucet started leaking afterwards.
I didn't like being charged for parking in the garage. That might be the way it is nowadays. I'm just not used to it.

Fantastic location near Cannery Row. Easy parking on site. Breakfast & cheese & wine hour included. Pet friendly.

This will become my go to hotel stay anytime I’m in the area.
Pros:

Definitely great walking distance to cannery row and the aquarium. Look at all the shops especially the Mexican Alebrije shop yes “it looks expensive” but it’s truly at every price point. $15 can get such a cute figurine that was hand carved, hand painted and made in Mexico and holds such significance to the culture.

Cons:

Honestly I can’t really think of anything that I didn’t like. I will point out though which I feel like is obvious but the water pressure in the shower goes down if multiple showers in the area are going on at the same time.
Bummer that there is no pool but it’s not a deal breaker.

Great location, unique and worth it!
Pros:

Located in a great area! Walking distance to everything. Very clean, bed and pillows very comfortable.

Cons:

There is no air conditioning and our weekend was unseasonably warm. But they did supply fans so it was not terrible.
