Cannery Row Inn

Cannery Row Inn

10/10 Excellent
"This is an old inn and for the rate, it’s quite expensive BUT for the location, it is cheap. The spectacular view and you are close to everything is what this inn have! We just didn’t mind that it is not at least 3 stars inside coz from the outside is sure is five stars. We will come back and recommend this place"

Stargazer Hotel

8/10 Good
"This was a a perfect stay for my family and it was very comfortable. However, the hardwood floors were extremely dirty. We checked in 5pm after driving in from a 5 hr drive and within 3 hrs of being in the room, my son’s socks were completely black. Thankfully all other areas in the room were clean, but this was just something we had to keep being mindful of to ensure he wouldn’t get the bed dirty"
