We had an ocean view room and it was very nice! Very nice beds and pillows. Valet parking was reasonable. They have a wine and cheese reception in the lobby at around 4:00 pm each afternoon which is nice. It’s a very convenient location to the bars and restaurants on Cannery Row

Beautiful, Clean room and friendly staff. Beach view was gorgeous. Room did not have good air flow, so got very stuffy. Windows opened thank goodness, but no window screens. Breakfast delivered to our room was a perfect touch, but pastries were not fresh.

Problem with this location is the street noise, unless your room is on water side. No air conditioning means windows need to be open. Theres a bar directly across the street from hotel.
