It would be perfect if we didn’t have to listen to an amorous couple ALL Night. The walls are tragically thin. Some sound maintenance is woefully needed.

This is a quaint inn with a lovely courtyard. The staff members were very nice. Our room was a bit tired with signs of wear. The cold continental breakfast is a nice offering. However, cold items such as milk, yogurt and hard boiled eggs were not kept cold while out for breakfast; they would have been tastier if kept on ice.

Location was very convenient, we parked our car when we checked in and didn’t use it again until we checked out! We walked and or took the free trolley to the wharf and cannery row. We brought our e-bikes and rode for miles and miles along the coast in either direction. The property was well maintained and the staff were all friendly and helpful!
