"It's an older building with charm. The room was very clean and maintained by housekeeping daily. There is a 24 hr. Laundry room on site and the staff is very friendly. Keep in mind that there is no A/C. There's a nice breeze that comes in off the bay and the rooms are equipped with fans. The views are beautiful and the surrounding area is very walkable with parks, shops, and cafes nearby. I will definitely stay again."
