"The only real negative was the fact that the mattress is TERRIBLE. It needs to be replaced. Other than that, we loved it. Other people complained about the parking but honestly, there's free overnight parking on El Carmel Pl and Santa Clara Pl which are only 2 short blocks in either direction along the bay. We could see our truck from the balcony. Unloading in the ally behind the unit was no problem and we had brought a wagon so that made it even easier. The ocean is only 2 blocks across Mission...

2.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1016)
"Everything was great. Even breakfast was delicious. 24 hour coffee was good. Only 2 things seems off for us, the bathtub needs some repairs and the set up bfor breakfast at 5-5:30 in the am was a bit loud for those of staying in the 1st floor rooms, closest to lobby. But overall, this place is great for the price. An improvement would be to allow us to get points with Hilton Honors even if booked thru a 3rd party "
