We have stayed at this hotel twice no for easy access to cannery row and since its right down the street at a affordable price its been great. The bed is pillow top comfortable and the room is well kept with some wear and tear of a 2-3 star hotel but better than other 2-3 star hotels weve seen.

It was really clean & staff was great. The only thing in our room was that the AC either wasn’t really working or when it turned on, it was really loud so we didn’t use it.
