The location is close to Cannery Row, the aquarium, restaurants… Parking was available. The agent who checked us in gave us recommendations for restaurants and a gift bag of snacks. Be sure to check out Wave Street Cafe for breakfast and Fish Hopper on the pier has all day happy hour.

The hotel's location is superb--close to the Aquarium and Cannery Row shops and restaurants. The room was comfortable and the bathroom spacious. The coffee in the room was the best ever. Outside are two fire pits that you can enjoy with the snacks they give you upon arrival. Parking is extra but very convenient!
