We love Wave Street Inn! So close to Cannery Row. The room was comfortable and clean. I usually find something wrong about a place but not here. Plenty of towels, very clean shower, comfy bedding. There’s a couple of fire pits they light on the second floor and plenty of chairs to hang out. Just so very pleased all around.*Please note: they do charge a parking fee for each day of your stay but you know what? You’d be paying to park in a garage or lot anyways. This isn’t any more than that. Plus...

This place blew my expectations out of the marina. In all seriousness, great value, very clean, and cozy. We asked for our breakfast bag to go the night prior due to early travel plans the next morning and they were very gracious in giving it to us, and you can tell its made with love. Would come again.
