Quaint place and centrally located with available parking. We had a room with a fireplace and they gave us a complimentary artificial log which burned cleanly for over three hours and made the stay there even more romantic.

Pleasant short stay in a boutique hotel that is a national registered historic landmark. Helpful staff, spacious room, comfortable bed, onsite parking. The hotel should look into installing an elevator and replacing their linen and towels with new ones.

What an amazing stay! The hotel itself was clean, the beds were comfy, and in the perfect location! Just a few blocks from fisherman’s Wharf and the walk is past many historic landmarks! Plenty of restaurants to choose from nearby. Plenty of parking during our stay! The courtyard was a great place to eat breakfast! If you’re questioning it - give them a shot! We will definitely be back!

Great location walking distance to old fisherman’s wharf, cannery row and aquarium. There is the green trolley if you prefer not to walk 15-30 minutes to these sights. Room was spacious and clean. Has most of the amenities but no microwave. Charming courtyard and cozy breakfast area. Friendly staff. Onsite Parking was convenient.

The room was very clean, really nice decorated and the beds were so comfortable. I wish there were bottles of water upon arrival and there was only a waste basket and in the restroom. The breakfast was bread, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and fruit. My friend wanted coffee and there was none and nobody was refilling.
