I did not care for a few things. No microwave, sliding door does not lock, you have to connect smart phones or iPad to the tv otherwise you can’t watch tv, beds are super hard (my back still hurts) and when I first got there the staff was talking ill about someone which I didn’t think was professional. I will not be staying here again. I paid $600+ for two nights and it was not worth it. The only thing this inn has going for it is the location.

Excellent value, steps from the Aquarium, Cannery Row, and stunning ocean walkway towards Pacific Grove which I took advantage of both mornings. Watch the otters and seals play around in the kelp and the pelicans doing their morning patrol along the coast line. No frills clean room with safe, coffee station, even has a bit of an ocean view. The only minor nuisance was the street noise early in the morning which the thin window panes do little to block out.

I stayed here with a few of my friends for our guys trip. Check in and parking was easy. They even gave us some goodie bags which was a pleasant surprise. The location was amazing. Just a few minute walk to restaurants and bars. Waking up and walking out the door you can see the bay. Saw a few seals too. My only regret is staying one night. Very family and people friendly. I will be bringing my family back.
