The bed was great in the Jacuzzi suite! The Jacuzzi tub in the room was amazing, we wish we could have taken it with us. The front desk staff was helpful and easy to work with. The only issues we had was the Wi-Fi was spotty and cut in and out on us so we weren't able to use some of the things we brought with us. They should add more Wi-Fi extenders to better cover the whole property. If your getting a Jacuzzi suite you need to know they are all on the second floor, my wife has some fatigue issues and if we had known they weren't available on the bottom floor we might have stayed elsewhere. But other then that, it was a great stay, would totally stay there again!

I was surprised at the size of this hotel! From photos it looked like a cute little Victorian. However there is a very large building with lovely courtyards and a convenient parking lot. They have spacious rooms beautifully decorated and it just blocks away from world famous Cannery Row. The only drawback I found was with the size of the hotel, the dining room during breakfast was packed and chaotic. The food was decent however and the wonderful staff kept the buffet full.
