The beds were really comfortable, the room was quiet although a little difficult to find (large hotel), spa was great! Concierge was nowhere to be found and front desk could have given us a little more information about the hotel, its restaurants, the spa, etc. upon arrival, but we had a great visit.

Hotel was very nice. Location was also amazing and short walk to many restaurants . There was a large marathon the city was holding and if we utilized valet parking we would not have any access from 4AM-11AM on11/9. Which was fine but we heard a guest yelling and crying for a good 30 minutes at 7am on 11/9 because she could not access her car. We had a balcony room and could here the xustomer going on and on and a male cussing up a storm. Not the hotels fault but it was extremely disruptive to sleep on vacation. Also tried to request late check due to accessibility and was denied. This interfered with our brunch plans. Overall good experience but it would be nice to know at the time of BOOKING that the hotel valet vehicle accessibility (NOT AT CHECK-IN). I spoke to the hotel several times before arriving and was not informed nor was it posted on their website about the valet access change for the special event. We also still had to pay the valet parking of $43 and there wasnt really in and out privileges since we couldnt not access our vehicle from 11/9 at 4AM-11/9 11AM.

Excellent Stay! We stayed here in early November for my wife’s birthday and absolutely loved it. The staff was friendly and professional, and the entire atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Our room was spotless and had a beautiful view of the ocean Waking up to the sound of the waves was incredible. The location on Cannery Row made it easy to explore and enjoy the area, yet the hotel still felt peaceful and private. A wonderful experience from start to finish, and we can’t wait to come back.
