My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were spacious and had everything you could wish for, including a charming paperback copy of Through the Looking Glass tucked away in a drawer. The view of the bay from my room was absolutely breathtaking, but some rooms may vary in size and amenities. The service was exceptional, with the sweetest staff who prepared the most delicious gluten-free breakfasts every day and were happy to customize the amount of food. The location was perfect, within walking distance to Fishermen's Wharf and Cannery Row, and the property itself was beautifully groomed with ample off-street parking. While the dining experience was above and beyond all expectations, offering both savory and sweet options with funny names referring to Alice in Wonderland, the price for the stay was a bit on the higher end but definitely worth it for the value received.

Staying at the Brillig suite was a unique experience with its own special characteristics and a beautiful view. The room is well-maintained to reflect the wonderment of the time period, offering an enchanting stay. While the microfiber sheets were cozy in winter, they became less comfortable in the summer, affecting the overall comfort level.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were amazing, clean, and inviting, with a beautiful view of the bay and a whirlpool jacuzzi bathtub. The service was fantastic; the staff were so attentive and had great recommendations for places to eat and things to see. The location was awesome, with easy access to restaurants and within walking distance to Cannery Row, shops, restaurants, wharfs, and the bay. The dining experience was incredible, beyond first rate, like a pair of Hobbits every day.

The service was exceptional, making us feel right at home even though the staff were not present all the time. The location was perfect, offering easy access to popular attractions like Fishermen's Warf and Cannery Row. The dining was enjoyable, although the dishes tended to be on the sweeter side.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were beautifully maintained, each with its own unique charm, including a jacuzzi and a king-size bed for an incredibly restful night. However, the shared bath in the hall was a minor inconvenience. The service was exceptional with hosts who were genuinely friendly and lovely. The location was ideal for exploring the Aquarium and downtown areas, just a short walk from Cannery Row. The surroundings were beautifully landscaped, offering plenty of places to relax even though the residential area required a bit of effort to access the beach. The dining experience exceeded all expectations with a cozy, home-like atmosphere and delicious bottomless fruit juice. Facilities were top-notch, making the stay truly memorable.
