Late summer sea lions, YIKES!

For my traveling budget, it was a bit overpriced. The 24 hour sea lion barking could not be helped, but the beach I was looking for was taken over by them. The shuttle stop to get around was quite a walk for seniors, but it was needed for all attractions and restaurants. Outside of building needs a “facelift”, however, inside was nice. Room was fine. Breakfast delivered to room was appreciated. Excellent service by all.

Good price for area. Although wish their breakfast was a little more filling. I would say it’s breakfast sides and beverages, missing the main dish for sure, so we went elsewhere for that. Also it is a little outdated, just some change in decor and new paint can really elevate the place.

Great property at the edge of Cannery Row next to San Carlos Park. Relatively quiet area. Easy walking distance to most attractions. Free trolly will take you around town - stops about a block away. Great numbers of sea lions to watch on beach next to us as well as other marine wildlife. Staff was unfailingly courteous. Another delight: they bring a continental breakfast of your choosing directly to your room. Rooms are sufficiently large and very nicely appointed. Each room has a small balcony. We really enjoyed our stay here. I was a little unhappy about the $25 per day parking until I realized it was covered parking with full in and out privileges and close to so many attractions. If you were to drive in and pay for parking, you would probably pay more.
