I was surprised at the size of this hotel! From photos it looked like a cute little Victorian. However there is a very large building with lovely courtyards and a convenient parking lot. They have spacious rooms beautifully decorated and it just blocks away from world famous Cannery Row. The only drawback I found was with the size of the hotel, the dining room during breakfast was packed and chaotic. The food was decent however and the wonderful staff kept the buffet full.
