Overall, one of the best hotels Ive stayed at. Very comfortable, accomodating, and in perfect walking distance to Old Fishermans Wharf and Cannery Row. Live music and drinks in the lounge were a nice treat every night and Schooners was by far our favorite resturaunt around that area. Loved our stay and will be back!
