Excellent hotel with outstanding comfort and service. The room was extremely comfortable, clean, and modern. The bed was perfect, and the room was very quiet, which allowed us to sleep very well. This hotel exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended, and we will definitely stay here again

Leisel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Excellent staff, kind and professional and helpful especially when I had a challenging situation with unfortunate illness during our stay. Our room was comfortable and clean. For a 2 star property, this punched above its weight. The location is really optimal for harbor activities ~ just a few blocks to walk to USS Midway, Maritime Museum, and public transit. This property is largely well maintained, with just a few opportunities for updates (for one, damage to a baseboard surrounding the check-in desk could be repaired for a stronger first impression). The complimentary hot beverage maker in the lobby was a great touch! The pool was a lovely space, but temp was a bit cold for outdoors in January. The hot tub felt awesome! Grateful for our stay here!
