Clean room, good location with a good price. Parking was safe. Even though it’s next to a jazz club that I wish we could have enjoyed, the noise was not intrusive. Would book this again. It’s a nice place if you’re not looking for extra amenities like a pool or breakfast.

Great staff. They let us check in and park early so we could check out the sites without paying for parking elsewhere. Walking distance to fisherman's wharf, easy for us and our 4yo. We walked to a small breakfast spot just a block over: good food, good staff, and we got a 10% discount when we mentioned we were staying at this hotel. Will definitely stay here again.
