Great stay, just one little issue.

My only complaint was the mattress seemed kinda old because the springs made noise every time I turned over or on my sides.

We picked this hotel because it was dog friendly and well rated. Booking through Expedia apparently didn't explain the full process. Looking through the website a few days before our reservation we found a note about contacting the hotel to let them know we were bringing a dog. This was apparently not enough notice and they had to downgrade our room to a queen with no discount. The Queen bed itself was deformed with slumps in the middle of each side. It creacked all night and we slept only an hour or two. Otherwise, the room was clean and the water got hot. The location was great and you could walk to all the shops in the Bay.
