Location!!!
Keep in mind, this is a very dated hotel but very clean. Breakfast was great. Hot eggs/meat and everything you would find in a normal American breakfast.
Location was our choice in choosing this hotel. Right on the harbor, walking distance to restaurants, shopping and attractions. Will definitely return.

The room was not very lean we. We didn’t us the ac/heat system because it was caked up with dust and dirt. Employees were very nice. They had no wash clothes for the room or hand towels all they could offer were regular towels.

Well managed, ageing hotel
Well managed ageing hotel. Very clean with helpful, friendly staff. Location is excellent. You do have to pay extra for parking, but that seems to be the case with most places in Southern California. Worth getting a harbour view room.

Terrible, dirty and unsafe.
Dirty, i felt unsafe. I ended up staying one night out of the three i booked. Checked out at 11pm on the second night due people banging on walls and i could hear everything and they were being rude and just felt unsafe. This was a solo trip with my dog. Being a female i let the front desk know that i was leaving and they didnt seem to care. Being 11pm. I booked anothe hotel near by. They were wonderful. Im trying to get my pet and parking fees back and at least a partial for the 2 nights booked.

Great location but dated
The front desk associate was very nice and even let us check in early. The room was clean but the sheer curtains were torn. The bathroom leaves a lot to be desired. You can tell this is an old property that needs to be updated. The location is awesome though. Our only big complaint is that we left for the entire day and had the please make up room tag on the door and they never did make up the room. We stayed for two nights.

We had an issue with our magnetic key. After 2 days, the staff finally changed our room. The staff was very accommodating. The hotel is dated and will be torn down next year.

Harbor view
We are frequent visitor from Las Vegas and love the area!!! We made a reservation 1 month in advance with possible request for a 3 rd floor harbor view king room. They were already taken by the time we checked in so they accommodated us with a 2 nd floor room. Which was fine for just an overnight stay but we really wanted 3rd floor. It was fine in the long run at first disappointing. We say hi to Sami an amazing GM!!!! This is Mike and Kathy!!
Thank you all

Stay was fine but the hotel is very old and dated. Basically like an old motel in a great location. I’m sure it is slated for demo or renovation soon with the upcoming development in the area. But it was clean.
