The hotel was in a very convenient position so we were able to park the car and leave it for the length of our stay and move around by foot or light rail. We also enjoyed catching the ferry to Stockton. The staff were friendly and the room comfortable and clean.

Staff were very friendly and helpful on check in. The room itself was very clean and the bed/pillows were so comfortable. The only negative for me was the lack of curtains. There is a window in the verandah area that could not be covered so there was light coming in all night.

We had the one bedroom apartment which is absolutely huge. It has two outdoor seating areas on opposite sides of the unit. Access to your unit, the building, and the garage are all a single code to remember. The elevator is quick, though there are only 3 levels (garage, lobby, rooms). The one bedroom apartments are strange in that you have to enter the code at two different entry doors before heading up a staircase to reach your living space. The rewards of the living space more than offset the quirkiness of getting to it.

Bed cover was soiled and it was a sunday, so no cleaning staff and we had to remake our bed ourselves. There were also dirty smear marks on the wall at the bed head that we cleaned off. Otherwise a comfortable large and well- equipped space was provided. (Towel hangers in the bathroom would be a nice addition.)
