We loved it here! It was so nice and quiet! Such a great staycation! So Family friendly and so much to do. There was a kitchen which was so useful and they were stocked with pots/pans/playes/cups/utensils and even grill amenities. It has a toaster, microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. Also has a little closet in the hallway with a broom/vacuum/iron/ironboard. The bathroom was pretty big with good water pressure and stocked with shampoo/conditioner/bodywash. Would definitely recommend! And would definitely stay again I wish check in time was earlier and check out was a little later to enjoy more but we did love the two pools and splash pad. So fun for the kids and us adults!

First time staying at this hotel. The location is good (walking distance to the wharf, the MUNI and the cable car stations). The room is cleaning, including the all bed sheets. The part that I like the most is the breakfast. They offer really nice & fresh buffet breakfast daily with various choices. Highly recommended.
