Property is located perfectly in downtown walking distance to a lot of places. Keep in mind you need to park off property which was very close anyway. A little outdated but it didn't bother us. Will stay again.

NOISY
This is a charming hotel but our room faced directly onto Alvarado and that was a PROBLEM. It was extremely loud at 7pm and I told the front desk we were not comfortable. We are 60, not 22 so we were miserable because their windows are vintage so there is no soundproofing. The noise from the bars and restaurants lasted until 2 am. I doubt we will go back because it is too noisy.

The hotel does not have parking but is only a block from the parking garage which was an easy walk to and from the hotel. The hotel is old but well maintained and the staff was so friendly. They do not have a refrigerator in the rooms but they will keep your refridgerate your items and give you ice for a cooler. We stayed in room 403 and our radio kept going off during the night with just static noise and the light flickered.. Haunted??? Great location and walkable to Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf.

Location was great, not much else. Our room was prepaid; yet when I was required to give them my credit card for $100 hold for incidentals, they turned around and charged me over $300 for the room! PS. There were NO INCIDENTALS to be had! My back is still out of whack from the lumpy bed; the shutters were not able to block outside light and we could hear our neighbors. NOT WORTH THE MONEY! No coffee or tea, very poor internet to boot!
