5/5 Excellent

"Walking distance to the pier. Fisherman Wharf’s restaurant has many choices in menu. "

5/5 Excellent

"Nice hotel, the rooms are big, looks like it was built in the '70s so it's not the most updated facility. But it's got a lot for a family to do, it's got nice games and a pool on site that are all clean and fun to do. The beach is close by, a short 2-minute drive or somewhat strenuous hike as it's a steep Street. I like the place, my room was over 600 square feet and the price was excellent. The staff were fantastic. Really good, even the restaurant had fantastic staff at the bar and their happy hour items are quite excellent. I recommend, I will return."

5/5 Excellent

"The staff was lovely, the property maintained beautifully, the rooms current and well-kept. Parking is easy and free, under the hotel, with elevator directly from there to your floor. Hallways to rooms are bright and wide. Beds comfortable and linens crisp. Sheets are a bit rough, but not annoyingly so. Bathroom is roomy enough to be very accommodating. Rooms are serviced daily and all supplies and linens are restocked. In-room refrigerator works well. Ice machine is well maintained. TV options include premium movie channels. The only drawback in the room I would say is that the air conditioning is VERY loud when it cycles on. It's pretty distracting. But all things considered, this is a very nice stay, and we would definitely return. "
