I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and provided a lovely balcony where I could relax with a drink while taking in the beautiful view. 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 incredible. The room was spacious and well-equipped, offering a fantastic view of the ocean. Relaxing on the plaza with some great coffee from Tidal Coffee was my favorite way to pass the time. However, the constant operation of an external ventilation unit was a bit distracting.

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.

Our anniversary stay at the hotel was incredible despite some noise from the street. The upgrade was totally worth it for the amazing bird and seal views. The room amenities like robes, a coffee machine, and a dressing table with beauty light made it special.

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.
