"Not the most clean hotel I’ve stayed in. Stained shower curtain, stained sheets, hair in the shower and mold on the bathroom ceiling. For the price and location I can’t complain too much but these were definitely a turn off."
"Was welcomed with a smile and friendly staff. Room was very clean and place was close to all the attractions as well as the firepit was a great hang out.a little run down but did the job."
"Cute, quiet inn. No frills but was clean and pleasant. Great location that was much quieter than the busy parts of Cannery Row, but still very close to the aquarium and other attractions. Would stay there again!"
