Great stay
Stayed here for one night on our way to San Diego for Spring break. This place was amazing, really exceeded all expectations. Great service and very clean. Pool area was peaceful and relaxing. Quiet, pristine street that easily walkable to restaurants and beach. The king suite was really spacious and only slightly more expensive than the double queen. Will definitely plan to stay again

Great hotel in a great location!
Great stay with a clean and modern room. The pool area was nice as well. You could hear people walking and talking and the bathroom in our own room was not soundproof but other than that, it was great! Location was perfect and the staff was very friendly and attentive!

Charming hotel in SB
Such a charming little hotel in SB! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable! They even had bikes we rented to ride around the city. The hotel is a bike ride away from lots of little shops and restaurants! I would most definitely recommend this hotel and will be booking there again next time I am in SB!

The rooms were very nicely appointed and clean, with lots of area for storage. We could easily walk to local spots like Stearns Wharf, State Street, and the beach.
Staff was very friendly, and it was a bonus to have coffee and a light breakfast available in the morning.
Would definitely stay here again.

Great beds! Updated hotel…but a little noisy.
Very comfortable beds! Brand new/updated hotel!
They could stand to offer some morning danishes with coffee in the morning instead of just cookies.
There was an issue with walls nit being insulated enough to hear next door and hear the plumbing noises.
Also dont love the extra charge if you want to check in early by 2 hours prior for $20 or $10 for one hr prior. Plus the $18 parking.
Its an updated beautifuly designed and decorated room and the workers were very kind and welcoming.
