Great location - easy to walk to restaurants and shops. Room was clean and staff were friendly. The only thing I would say is that the shower door needs to be adjusted or needs a gasket because after a shower the floor outside was soaked.

The room is a little small. Bed and pillows not too comfortable. It was clean. It’s very close to cannery row and has parking so those are the big perks. No gym is a negative but easy to run onto a long bike path along the coast.

Mold smell in bathroom due to water damage at te walls adjacent to the shower. Walls patched and painted but should have removed water damaged drywall and allowed interior of wall cavity to air dry then replace damaged areas with new drywall, patch and paint. Toilet did not flush properly, close to an overflow in the middle of the night. Not a happy thought. Wi-Fi quit working at about 11 pm and was not restored until we checked out the next morning.
