    5 / 5
    This hotel was a great fit for my wife and me. It was walking distance to Fisherman's Warf. We were able to eat dinner there, have a few drinks, and then walk back to the hotel. They have a rooftop bar open at night. We sadly didn't get to experience it because it closed at 9:00, which was about the time we got back from dinner. Their hours are modified due to Covid. We had the complimentary breakfast up there in the morning and it was wonderful. We will definately go back again.…
