The room we were given had a faulty lock and we could not open it. We were given another room facing the street, which was less preferrable. There was construction ongoing in multiple neighboring rooms. The bathroom in the room had an open shower draining on the floor of the bathroom.

They only had a blanket and would charge me with $20 per night for an additional comforter. The location near fisherman's wharf is great. Gated parking is also great, though they charged me $30 per night for parking through Expedia. Because the cost of parking is still competitive compared to the near parking lot.

no air conditioner and the room seemed to get stuffy not cold enough to need a heater but the fan above the bed wasn't enough. The shower curtain wasn't long enough so water splashed around the bathroom and even triple checking it was turned off the shower dripped all night. It made me understand Edger Allen Poe's "a tale tell heart." The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was an extremely convenient location. Only a 5 minute walk to the pier.

NO HEAT! We were told they hadn't turned on the 'boiler' yet that day- 50degrees!!! 3 in the afternoon at checkin. HOTELS.COM showed (and still shows) Self-parking. IT IS NOT FREE- nowhere does it say paid parking on description. $20/day= an extra $40. NO MAID SERVICE- no coffee 2nd day, NO clean towels- THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE
