We stayed 1 night on the historic side, which I’m glad about. There was a great little coffee shop/cafe on the same corner, which was nice (hotel also serves complimentary coffee by 7am, but we were up early to go backpacking). Walkable to restaurants and Cannery Row, sites, etc. Staff was friendly. Would stay again for sure.

This very old vintage hotel has so much charm and is close to so many shops and dining options and relatively close to Cannery Row! The only thing I didn't like was the street noise as there's no air-conditioning so the windows are wide open and the garbage trucks are there at 6 AM!
