8/10 Good

Great staff. They let us check in and park early so we could check out the sites without paying for parking elsewhere. Walking distance to fisherman's wharf, easy for us and our 4yo. We walked to a small breakfast spot just a block over: good food, good staff, and we got a 10% discount when we mentioned we were staying at this hotel. Will definitely stay here again.

We went to Bimbos for a concert so chose this for the location. Its basic. Decent for the price. Probably could use a renovation. The plus is the parking and the minus is the overall condition. The price was right for this minus so it equals out.
