I’d stay elsewhere next time
Pros:

Convenient to the boat to Channel Islands NP.

Cons:

The building is older and felt musty and although the surfaces were clean, there was a mildew smell in the bathroom. The hallways outside had an oddly rickety feel. Breakfast was
Not good.

First class hotel by the docks.
Pros:

Overlooks the marina , right at the sidewalk that encircles the marina- rooms in excellent condition. First class bed & pillows; bathroom is modern and new.
Walk around the marina to about 6 restaurants.

Mexican restaurant has live entertainment- almost every night.

Pretty good but could have been much better
Pros:

Bed was comfortable. AC was very quiet, something I greatly appreciated. Room was spacious. Hotel was quiet.

Cons:

Draperies in room were impossible to open without yanking on the fabric. The one small window was hard to get to and only opened a few inches so it was impossible to enjoy the fresh sea air. There was a noticeable odor of tobacco smoke in the hall outside the room for 2 days. Although I notified the front desk, the problem remained. The breakfast was mediocre. The pool was not available.

Great getaway!
Pros:

Wonderful breakfast, great location and staff

I liked everything but having to use key to open all entrances. But I do understand it keeps all rooms safe.
