Will definitely return to this hotel.

This is a beautiful property, walking distance to all Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf has to offer. My one caveat would be if you have a room facing the harbor, be prepared to be serenaded by sea lions all night long. We like to sleep with our window open. If we'd shut it, we wouldn't have heard them. It made us laugh in the middle of the night. But some people might be disturbed.
