"Lo bueno, bien ubicado, a pocos metros de estación del ferry a San Francisco pero muy descuidado y viejo. El personal muy poco amable. El tema de que pase tren al frente, siempre puede molestar."

"Beautiful location. Ample, but expensive parking. Rooms with marina view are large and comfortable. Bathrooms are clean, showers are inside a tub, and with grab bar they are very narrow. If bathrooms were remodeled, this would get 5 stars!"
