Good price for being so close to cannery row. The blinds were frayed as were the bath towels. Furniture was pretty beat up. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Seagulls on the tin roof might keep you up at night if you’re on the top floor

Great location. Steps away from all the shops/restaurants of Cannery Row at an affordable price. Staff was great. We were able to do early check-in on a busy 4th of July weekend at no extra charge! We were Also given a good bag at check in with a bunch of snacks which was perfect when we went to explore the 17 mile drive.

Clean room, great layout, and very comfortable beds. The service was great and had amazing ocean views. The only issue was the ceiling was noisy when upstairs tenants walked so it was tough when they walked into their room after midnight. Otherwise, we highly recommend staying on top level floors and enjoying the great eats recommended by the concierge.

good spot, some issues for picky traveler

this hotel is in a prime spot for sure. I have somewhat limited mobility, but even I was able to walk to several restaurants, shops, a full sized cvs, plus the aquarium, a rage room, and more than one escape room. it is a bit hilly and the pavement isn't fully even in the vicinity, but it is walkable and safe. highly recommend if you're just looking for a place to crash and want to save on parking fees and hassles. the staff is also very lovely and helpful the less than great - i could hear every step taken by the very active people in the room above me. so request a top floor room to avoid that. i heard little more than murmurs from the shared wall where my bed was though. there are some signs of people allowing their children to deface property, so please talk to your kids about respecting spaces that aren't theirs. coloring all over a chair isn't cute. that's not on the hotel staff. the beds are marketed as plush, but that's not the case. my sister, mom, and i all had various levels of discomfort, however i know that the vast majority of people prefer firmer mattresses, so this issue likely won't be a problem for most. this is strictly for people with nerve sensitivity issues. the fridge is tiny, even a small pizza box wouldn't fit without standing on its side, and no microwaves in the rooms, so not great for leftovers, but perfect for drinks. there is an elevator, ample parking, and two luggage trolleys if needed

Cozy place to stay

This place is so cozy and right by cannery row. You are within a block. The staff are nice and rooms are upgraded and clean. They have fire pits available and the overall feel is great.
