parking area viewthin walls
I must say, the room i was assigned was not up to par. it faced the parking area, so opening the window was out of the question. It seemed like being right on the street. the walls were also quite thin. I could hear everything happening in the adjacent room. this definitely detracted from the overall experience.

Fantastic Stay
jazz brunchfresh fruittasty mochablue corn tortillas
The Shearwater Tavern offered live jazz brunch one day I enjoyed a bowl of fresh fruit accompanied by tasty mochas. The huevos rancheros, served on blue corn tortillas, tasted amazing. Angel, my server, was the best I have encountered. I got to chat with the band during their break.
The glass door to the balcony did not adequately shut out the cold temperature, so I had to keep the heat on overnight

The room was lovely and super clean I found the room to be fully stocked with every amenity needed while on the road. The room was huge and modern, providing plenty of space.
Location
10/10
The hotel sits next to shopping, dining, and wine tasting areas that are convenient to access. A short walk led me to the Mission Basilica and a beach with a lifeguard is on the road. I found the location to be amazing.
