Not sure what they meant by walk to old town, everything we did for food, etc was 8-10 minute drive. The streets have no street lights so walking anywhere at night was out. Worked as a base to visit redwoods np and tidal pools which is what we wanted"

8/10 Good
"The hotel is very charming and has a lot of history. We loved walking around the lobby and looking at all the photos of the VIPs who stayed there throughout the years. Our 2nd floor room was a little dated and a homeless person with a broken down vehicle and trailer was right outside our window. They were cussing very loudly at other people in the middle of the night and their dog was barking which disrupted our sleep. There’s no AC so we had to have our window open a little bit for some cool air because the room was warm. Unfortunately, the two glasses in our room were dirty, food left by a prior guest was still in the refrigerator and there was trash in one of the dresser drawers – yuck! It is a shame that the restaurant/bar and second restaurant for breakfast is not open, we certainly would have had dinner there. Breakfast was your typical continental breakfast – donuts, muffins, yogurt, cereal, frozen breakfast sandwiches to eat in the microwave. Parking was a small lot adjacent to the hotel and a larger lot across the street. Both were fenced in and they locked the parking lot up at midnight."

10/10 Excellent
"Why stay at a big box hotel/motel when boutiques like this one are available? We were welcomed by the front desk in a manner unlike any other hotel we have stayed at and offered a choice between a room with a 4th floor view or a room with a TV. We picked the room with a view overlooking the marina in a very walkable downtown area. The hotel and rooms were decorated with antiques rather than the usual hotel/motel industrial furniture. Very comfortable and inviting. There was a model ship in the common area on the 4th floor. Not the sort of thing you find at a Holiday Inn or Hilton or Best Western chain. Actual metal room keys, not an RFID credit card key. Basic continental breakfast -- coffee, juices, yogurt, sweet rolls and bagels. Just right. The hotel shared the building with an Irish-themed pub (Gallaghers) which had an outstanding menu and very friendly wait staff. After dinner, just walk back to the room."
