8.8/10

This hotel offers an amazing location right on the coast, allowing easy access to the beach and local attractions. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay pleasant, and the rooms, especially with harbor views, are worth the slightly higher price. However, some amenities like the gym's internet connection could use improvement.

Rooms

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this resort spa. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, with a unique charm that made us feel special right from the start. We enjoyed a beautiful sea view from our room, and the outdoor seating at the restaurant was perfect for dining while enjoying the scenery. However, there were a few noisy moments from outside that disrupted our sleep, and we felt that the service could use some fine-tuning despite everyone being very kind. Overall, it was a memorable experience that we would recommend.

Rooms

7.0

Our room had a breathtaking ocean and plaza view, which was truly stunning. However, it was located near the trash dumpsters, making it a bit noisy at night, and the privacy wasn't ideal as people could see in from the pier.

Service

I had a wonderful time at the hotel with my family. The hospitality was exceptional, and my kids, grandmother, and aunt enjoyed a relaxing visit. The views were breathtaking, especially being able to hear the ocean waves at night. However, while the staff was great, my spa experience left a bit to be desired, which was disappointing.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and comfortable, although the layout was somewhat awkward, with a tight corridor making it difficult to navigate around the fridge and closet.

Service

The staff provided stellar customer service, always ready to help us, and even gave us a ride around town in a Range Rover. However, the front desk at the spa could have been more attentive.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel located right in the heart of Cannery Row, surrounded by beautiful marine scenery and just a short walk from various attractions. While the atmosphere was charming and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, I did encounter some unexpected charges related to my stay that caught me off guard. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but the surprise extra fees did dampen my excitement a bit.

Rooms

The room was clean but could use some updating, especially since I overlooked a busy street which was quite loud at night.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, which offered stunning views and an exceptional atmosphere that felt both luxurious and relaxing. The location was perfect, allowing us to enjoy the tranquility of the bay while still being close to key attractions. The rooms were pleasantly spacious and immaculate, though the dining experience was somewhat disappointing due to its cold ambiance and pricey entrees. Overall, it's a place I highly recommend for a special getaway.

The service was mostly courteous and friendly, with staff members being very helpful, even when just passing by in the hallway. However, the restaurant service didn't quite match the high standard set elsewhere in the hotel.
