Great hotel, walking distance to food, and State St. Not sure where else to park but in valet, at $30/night. Or walk a couple blocks with your luggage. Shower head had good water pressure, i know this can be a problem for me with thick hair, so i like to review it. Rooms are nice!

Good hotel, bad cafe service.
Good location, nice rooms, somewhat recently renovated. Overall very good. Only real disappointment was the lobby cafe/bar. They did not have a single one of the food items for breakfast (muffins, croissant, etc.), or at least that's what the very disinterested person working there said. Took quite a while to get her attention to leave the back room and even pour some coffee.

As Pictured
Room was exactly as pictured, employees at the front desk were friendly, and best of all, we were able to use the hotel's bikes at no additional cost. I'd stay here again.

Very pleasant stay. Great location for walking both to the Funk Zone, pier, and especially State St. Very efficient room, nicely decorated. Some in our party weren’t happy with the location of their rooms. Our was on the second floor of the main building and was a good location. I liked it and will stay again next time in SB.
