Will stay again when here

Large, clean rooms. Happily surprised- was hardly in room so was a great value compared to other rooms here - nice bfast room too can get toast, cereal & juice in a.m. before heading out. Head over to the pier - drive right on, first 90 mins free. Then next door at the SB Harbor is the SB Waterfront walkway around the harbor.

One night stay & excellent support

One night stay, reasonably priced. Got in late, ok parking, felt safe. Friendly staff at night & in the day. Cute breakfast area not too many choices, basic continental options. Thin walls is my only complaint but its an older inn. Could hear others outside walking by & the people in both rooms on either side of me. Family & kids crying in one, and someone on a work call in the other. I left an item behind, it was easy to recover & have it returned via mail after I sent a prepaid postage label. It was packed well & sent right away. Thank you

Liked: Cleanliness
Very loud - people out in the parking lot talking loudly, yelling etc for hours in the middle of the night (a weeknight). My room was in the corner inches from the laundry/cleaning area so that noise was also constant. There should not be a room wedged in there. The room itself was fine and the surrounding area is okay.

Homeless people around property. Sheriffs came to hotel due to some guy on site. Staff was not very friendly and more concerned with security than hospitality. Room was fine. A little noisy. Clean and adequate. Bed was a little soft and pillows flat and hard. But for the price, it was adequate.
