If I could give 4.5 stars, I would!
We just recently stayed at the Cannery Pier Hotel & Spa for the first time.
It was an amazing experience, almost 5 stars all around.
Pros:
The hotel itself is gorgeous. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed. Every room has a view of the River, because you're practically over it! Fireplace, mini fridge, claw foot tub, separate shower.
Complimentary breakfast, with an omelette chef. I've read a lot of reviews on Yelp for the Cannery Pier indicating that the breakfast is no better than a Best Western. No disrespect to those reviewers, but I've stayed at my fair share of Best Westerns, and I've only ever seen one that had an omelette chef (Sutherlin, Oregon, if you're wondering). The breakfast was great.
Staff. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Our housekeeper did an amazing job - honestly, I've never seen a hotel room cleaned that well during our stay.
Bar 600. Drinks were really good. Servers and bartenders were great.
Cons:
The bed was the hardest bed I've ever slept on. The pillows were decent, nothing great. This was the only real negative aspect of the room.
The food in the bar (Bar 600) needs some work. The food is not on par with the drinks. We sampled 3 items, and the best of the three were the Jalapeño Poppers ($8). The Italian Meatballs ($15) were good, but they came out cold and we had to request that they be reheated. And they were garlicky! I mean, we love garlic, but this was a bit much. Maybe they're working on a Halloween-inspired menu with those garlic meatballs.
The Vegetable Spring Rolls ($13) came with two. They were pretty big, but they just seemed to fall apart, loosely wrapped.
But other than that, we had a great time, and we'll definitely be back. If you hit Bar 600, skip the food and try the Seafoam (Vanilla Vodka, Malibu rum, Pineapple Juice and Whip Cream). I had one both nights we stayed there!
