The hotel is situated perfectly to any areas of interest you may have. They have a beautiful resturant and pub on the premises as well as spa and fitness room.

The hotel is huge and has its own mini plaza with some restaurants, cafes and spa. It is away from the crowds of cannery row which meant there is lots of space to walk. It is 5 minutes walk from fisherman's wharf with some really good restaurants as well as others on the opposite side. We absolutely loved the place and would definitely go back.
