The room is clean and staff and servicing personnel are friendly. The only complaint is shower water pressure is not enough to keep water streaming properly.

The room was fine for what we paid. But you get what you pay for. The sink didn’t drain well. The sheets were pilly, and the shower literally took 5 minutes to get hot water… so much wasted water! But the location was great

We have stayed at this hotel twice no for easy access to cannery row and since its right down the street at a affordable price its been great. The bed is pillow top comfortable and the room is well kept with some wear and tear of a 2-3 star hotel but better than other 2-3 star hotels weve seen.

It was really clean & staff was great. The only thing in our room was that the AC either wasn’t really working or when it turned on, it was really loud so we didn’t use it.

Everything was nice especially for such a reasonable price. Your coffee machine in the lobby is great. If I had to comment on something, I’d say that your light bulbs are very bright and harsh. Some softer light could be great. That said, I’d totally come back. Thank you.
