This hotel was a mixed bag. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Good - The staff was great; very friendly and helpful. We got free champagne upon arrival. The place has a lot of character. While we didn't eat there, the bar/restaurant looked nice. The complimentary coffee was really good. There is a little supermarket across the street. The Bad - We had a hard time finding parking, and the hotel is right on 101 and has a fair amount of traffic. The Ugly- Our room (Room 11 - Avoid!) was awful. It was small, and I mean really small. There was a bed, and that was it. No chairs, no dresser, and no room for either. There was a deck that was almost the same size as the room itself. The mattress was very soft and lumpy. The room was very hot and had no circulation, even with wide open windows. There was a fan provided but was too loud to run all night. The worst was that the room was extremely smelly, like it had a huge mold/mildew problem. All of this combined meant that we barely slept the whole night. As much as I want to like the hotel and its great staff, it's hard to give it a good review given our experience. Maybe other rooms there are better....
