Muy cerca de Catalina Ferry, practicó y cómodo.
Pros:

Me encantó la ubicación, lo espaciosa y cómoda de la habitación y la energía de las personas que trabajan aquí. Todos amables y dispuestos a colaborar. También el desayuno muy rico.

Cons:

La verdad considero que pudieran darle atención a varias áreas del hotel que parecen descuidadas porque el hotel goza de una ubicación privilegiada.

Pros:

Great location. The hotel is just steps to the marina with lovely walkways. You can hear the seals barking. Walking distance to restaurants, shops and farmer's market on Wednesdays.

Cons:

Interior is a little outdated, but the great location easily compensated for that.

Schöner Aufenthalt für 2 Tage
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr schön, trotz der aktuellen Baustelle nebenan. Zimmer ist gut, sauber, hat alles was man braucht. Schöner Blick und Parkplatz kosten extra. Personal ist gut organisiert. Perfekt um 1-2 Tage zu verweilen. Pool gut, leider noch nicht richtig hergerichtet Mitte Mai.

Cons:

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen, passt aber sonst gut.

Ok
Pros:

Location, the staff was very friendly

Cons:

Overall, it appeared cleaned, but there food or something on the wall , I’m not a super tall man at 6 foot one but the showerhead hit my stomach. It was a good foot plus beneath my head when I get that. But the command 220 for one night is a little bit much just for location. I don’t think I would ever stay there again even if it was at the $120 mark which I think would be more reasonable.
