Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better location for this hotel – right in an exclusive neighborhood and close to everything one could need. The rooms were a bit cramped with two queen beds, but hey, they were clean and came with fresh towels and toiletries. The service was top-notch; the staff is as friendly as can be. However, the dining options were limited to just porridge, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, good value for money considering the prime location and safe island setting.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and had fresh towels and toiletries, but they felt a bit small for beds. The location was great, near Petco Park and just a half-mile from the Ferry Dock to the inner harbor. The dining experience was average with only croissants available, and the service was satisfactory.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The room, although a bit small for the two queen beds, was well-equipped with fresh towels and toiletries. The residential area around the motel was bustling and lively, making it a great spot to explore. The dining experience, while offering wholesome food, had its limitations. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory and offered good value for money.
