We chose this hotel because of: location, breakfast, pool/hot tub, parking. ||||It was close enough to the free trolley, which we used exclusively to get to the wharf, aquarium, and eating options. We never drove anywhere! The closest trolley transit station was maybe a 5 minute walk from the hotel (about 3 blocks). It was so convenient! The only time we didn't use the trolley was when we stayed out later and it had stopped running, so we walked from the wharf to the hotel. It's a very walkable distance for most people (uphill). There was another time we wanted to eat somewhere off the tourist area and so we walked to it, but it was also a short walk and no problem. By the way, right by the hotel is a Denny's and Mountain Mikes. Very close is a Chipotle and Trader Joe's. ||||We love a hot breakfast with eating options at the hotel so we can wander out to eat whenever we wake up and don't have to wait for everyone in our family to wake up together. Hotel breakfast is a MUST for our family. The options were tasty and met our needs. Options included: scrambled eggs with cheese, breakfast burrito one day and another day a breakfast sandwich, cereals, yogurt, toast, whole fruit, and one day had premade small pancakes. No, they did not have a waffle maker. ||||Parking fees are always considered. This location is close enough, I suppose, to the tourist area to warrant a parking fee. But it's far enough away that you are not getting tourist traffic. There are not people walking by all day. ||||Their daily "amenity fee" includes parking and breakfast. So it's odd that it's an add-on fee because who isn't going to need parking? The parking lot is not secured so I'm not sure why a fee is needed for parking. It's not a parking garage nor does it have a gate. ||||A pool/hot tub is a wonderful perk that we always take advantage of. There were firepits but we didn't use them. ||||Staff: I didn't meet a staff member that wasn't personable and helpful.||||Room: we had a double queen on the first floor. It was comfortable, clean, and quiet. No complaints.||||We would definitely recommend and stay here again
