The staff at the hotel were super friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to a number of cafes and shops. The free coffee & tea in the morning was a nice plus! We stayed in one of the newer rooms with a fireplace and it was very comfortable and clean.

Great location, you can walk to lots of restaurants, shops, and the wharf. Only downside is no AC, but windows do open wide to allow airflow. Loved how water dispensers were available in the lobby and our floor. Front desk staff was always kind and helpful.

This very old vintage hotel has so much charm and is close to so many shops and dining options and relatively close to Cannery Row! The only thing I didn't like was the street noise as there's no air-conditioning so the windows are wide open and the garbage trucks are there at 6 AM!

We stayed 1 night on the historic side, which I’m glad about. There was a great little coffee shop/cafe on the same corner, which was nice (hotel also serves complimentary coffee by 7am, but we were up early to go backpacking). Walkable to restaurants and Cannery Row, sites, etc. Staff was friendly. Would stay again for sure.
