The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location was convenient, within walking distance of Cannery Row and the Aquarium, and offered a tranquil atmosphere. However, the room could get noisy at times with street sounds and guest activity.

My stay at the hotel was actually quite pricey for just one night, but the view of the ocean from my room's balcony overlooking a tree-lined jogging path was priceless. The room was spotless and well-equipped, though there was a minor issue at the front desk when inquiring about a different room.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the view of Cannery Row street from my room. It felt like a 3-star hotel with nicely appointed, clean, and comfortable rooms. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the action, but I did wish I had more time to explore further. The service was top-notch, with friendly and accommodating staff. However, the dining options left something to be desired, although complimentary amenities like homemade bread were a nice touch.
