Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was great for enjoying the waterfront and taking advantage of the ferry to San Francisco, the room had some drawbacks like only having a shower when I prefer baths and the water taking a long time to heat up. Despite being clean, the room felt old and there were some bugs present. The service, however, was top-notch with very helpful and friendly staff. The dining situation was a bit misleading as breakfast was not included as advertised. The facilities were decent but could use some improvements.
I found this hotel to be a mixed bag. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although they did have a bit of a lingering smell of smoke. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some pleasant interactions but also some confusion during check-out. The location was convenient for exploring the area, especially Jack London Square and the ferry to San Francisco. The dining options were also a bit of a letdown, with additional costs for meals that weren't clearly communicated. Overall, it was an average stay with some highs and lows.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience - the rooms were quite clean and nice, offering a quiet atmosphere, but there was a smell of lingering foot odor present when I arrived at night, which oddly enough, I grew to appreciate the next day.
