We had a great stay here. The staff are so lovely! They are friendly and helpful and so personable! The hotel is nice enough. Our room was fine but our friends room had some issues. The hotel gave them a credit at the end of the week because of the issues which was good. The location is really terrific also. Close to many restaurants, walking distance to everything and right near Dover Beach. I would definitely come here again.

The room was clean and nice, the staff was welcoming, and having the bistro on-site was very accommodating and helpful when you do not want to go out for breakfast or lunch. My only complaint was that the room was smaller than expected, and the room only had one sink that you had to use for the bathroom/kitchen.
