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.

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
