The room and bathroom were clean but small. The furniture was second-hand and old despite recent renovation. The bathroom fan was very noisy when it was in use. The Inn is located about 2 miles from the Fisherman's Wharf and another mile to the Aquarium and Cannery Row.

The pictures on here are deceiving. The rooms look nothing like the pictures. The actual rooms are the equivalent if not less than a Motel 6. The restrooms were remodeled and decent. The floors looked grimmy, floors were sticky, would not step on them without shoes. We turned on the Ac and it smelled moldy. Would not stay here again, especially not for the price. Do yourself a favor and pay extra to stay elsewhere.

Nice and clean place to stay.
Everything was fine, the room we stayed in had gone through some remodeling. Bathroom was clean, but the wall where the shower head comes out had a hole in it. We put a small towel over it. We would stay there again.
