Clear communication and easy no-contact check in and out. Clean and comfortable. Check in and out were an hour later and earlier than other properties we stayed with. 3 and 11 would be better.

Good location but moldy

The location and view of the bay was great. The newer decor in main room attractive and comfortable. Biggest problem was lack of cleanliness in bathroom. There is mold on the ceiling and the walls are dirty. The glass shower doors and their tracks were not clean. The refrigerator and microwave smelled terrible. So if you are concerned about bad smells and visible mold, avoid this location.

Good but short stay

The hotel is very nice, efficient and clean. The only thing that I didn’t like was the check out time, it’s at 10am. Too early!

Great cozy little older place. We liked it much better than the normal newer mega hotels that just feel cheap. Would definitely recommend if you want a cozy place with a great view of the bay. I enjoyed sitting on the porch drinking my tea (great tea selection) and taking in the nice views. Very relaxing.
