Great location with many dining and shopping options nearby. Service is very limited and would appreciate a mini fridge in the room. Old hotel rooms are lovely with period antique furnishings and would stay again.

This very old vintage hotel has so much charm and is close to so many shops and dining options and relatively close to Cannery Row! The only thing I didn't like was the street noise as there's no air-conditioning so the windows are wide open and the garbage trucks are there at 6 AM!

Great location, very nice staff. However, there is no AC and the upper floor rooms are like saunas even when its cool outside. The dirty fan in the corner didn't help and it was too loud to leave windows open all night. The decor is dowdy and worn. Every piece of furniture in my room was chipped. The bathroom looks like Uncle Jed remodeled it with whatever was on clearance at Home Depot. If you're looking for an elegant historic property this is not it. If you just want a great location and don't mind a sauna, this is a good value.

The customer service was wonderful! The hotel is in a great location. The rooms are older because of the older hotel (which is historic). The beds were bouncing and kinda squeaky, not a foam mattress.

Really liked the property as it was a terrific historical hotel. Proximity to things we enjoy was great. It is an old hotel and sleeping with windows open in Sept was difficult due to traffic on the street throughout the night. That was the only challenge but expected as air conditioning is not needed in this area. However, we loved the hotel.

We stayed 1 night on the historic side, which I’m glad about. There was a great little coffee shop/cafe on the same corner, which was nice (hotel also serves complimentary coffee by 7am, but we were up early to go backpacking). Walkable to restaurants and Cannery Row, sites, etc. Staff was friendly. Would stay again for sure.
