8.2/10 Very Good! (571 reviews)
I stayed in room #309. Very large with a wrap around balcony, with a glimpse of the bay. It was very nice and clean. The only negative is the bed coverings need a wash. (Not sheets) The room smelled very musty. Other than that I would highly recommend the hotel. Friendly staff too!
