Cool view of ocean from room. Great walking distance. Careful the parking is very tight and they don’t have much of a lobby or front desk. Also be ready for seagulls living on the roof making quite a lot of noise in the early morning.

I loved our stay at the hotel. Staff was helpful and kind. Hotel rooms were well maintained. Only thing I would identify is the aged furniture, which is understandable being so close to the sea. But overall a really nice stay and location in Canery Row
