Not worth your $$$
Pros:

What I like about the property is that it’s on the beach.

Cons:

What I DID NOT like about the property was that it is $500 a night with no microwave I say that because it’s a tourist town & we eat out with leftovers no way to heat them up, the “breakfast” was well Novato be desired, and it felt more like a motel.

Loved the location and view. The facility and room needs a face-lift and better upkeeping.
Pros:

Breakfast was o.k.

Cons:

I wish other guests weren't smoking weed in rooms and on premises, which affected all guests. Hot tubs were either not working or smelled. Our bathroom had dirt built up around corners toilet and tub areas.

Disappointing
Pros:

Decent location for Cannery Row

Cons:

Poor breakfast - not sure why they bother offering it really. No plant based options. Poor noise isolation, you can hear every step the people in the room above you make. Parking costs $25 per night, it wasn’t obvious when I booked the hotel. Overall the value for money is not good.
