We had marina/ocean bay views and a balcony. It was great to sit out there and hear the birds and sea lions. The rooms could use a bit of updating such as carpet and wall decor. But the bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was very well-designed with plenty of counter space. Parking was a breeze, but you could walk to just about everything. Excellent location for restaurants, shopping, museums, and of course the famous aquarium. Driving to the beach or the 17 Mile Drive was very easy. The staff of the hotel were prompt and courteous at all times! Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay!

The hotel is on the same street that all the shops are on, so that was very convenient, my room face the ocean and it was a beautiful view. everyday that I woke up, I watch the sunrise while I watched the otters eat in the ocean. I watched seals play right from my balcony, i will be staying there again, definitely.

The park below us smelled like urine. There was a lot of construction, repairs taking place. The hotel itself needs upgrades for the high price that you pay. Parking should be free.

This was actually an amazing stay for us at your property. The terrace looking straight out onto the water was exactly what I wanted, and I enjoyed every moment of it. The only problem in that area was the seals barking ALL THE TIME! I imagine it might have been mating season? The barking took the experience down a bit, but still, wonderful water experience. The property itself could definitely use a bit of an upgrade, but the bathroom was fabulous with the double sinks and large area. The customer service receives the lowest rating from me: this is our vacation and we are spending a bit of money for it…. Your team should take that into account and act accordingly for their guests. That’s my input on that and I hope that you can improve with some (not all) of your team. It would be greatly appreciated. Overall, a great stay and a great location. Will return.

The only things that were good about the hotel were the view of the ocean (sea lions), the service, and the pillows. Otherwise, I think this hotel is very overpriced. You’re paying for the view and access to Cannery Row. The hotel is extremely outdated. I was nervous every time I got in the elevator. The parking is $25 a day, and you have to squeeze to get your car into the small garage. The carpet was stained, the chair in the room ripped. The towels are scratchy. The balcony doors struggled to stay on the hinges. The entire hotel needs updating. I think what I was most disappointed in was the breakfast. They make a big deal about serving it to your room every morning, but it’s 2 pieces of melon or pineapple and some grapes. The yogurt is a cup of Chobani. The “fresh baked” pastries are definitely not fresh baked. The coffee is awful. And that’s all you get. I’ve gotten better continental breakfasts at hotels that cost me less than half the price this one did. Maybe it’s California prices, but I won’t stay here again. If staying on the water is important to you, then go for it, but I’d rather spend my money on other parts of my trip.
