spacious room helpful staff quick drive tight spaces noisy heater thin walls
The room was spacious and clean. The front desk staff was very helpful. The location offers a quick drive to Fisherman's Wharf.
The parking lot was USUALLY full at night and the spaces were tight. The room heater made a lot of noise the first night though I found another one. The walls are thin.

a passable stay, but with some hiccups

dirty floor overcrowded pool area
The front desk service was excellent. The staff answered all my questions and were very kind.
The room floor wasn't very clean. The soles of my socks were black. i also found the pool area overcrowded. About 10-15 people were drinking beer in the hot tub. it was too crowded even near closing time, so i skipped it.
