Pleasantly surprised

We were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and clean the place was. It is old but they have kept it in good shape. The location was perfect, writhin walking distance of restaurants and stores, the wharf and beach and Aquarium. Underground parking was helpful and free coffee and cold filtered water at all hours. All staff were very friendly and the price was so much lower than the fancy hotels close to the beach. The pool looked warm and clean and we would have used it if we had more time.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The place was clean and well kept, located in a convenient area. I don't want to be too harsh about my review since I think what happened was purely bad luck, but our room flooded after using the shower. The staff was quick to send help and try to solve the issue, however if we had stayed another night I can see this being a big issue for us. Again, this must have been a plumbing problem and I don't blame anybody for what happened. Regardless of this, the place was pretty good for what it's worth, specially if you are simply looking for a place to crash at night after spending all day exploring the town.

Love the Stevenson and accessibility to nearby Trader Joe’s and finding options. I continue to stay as a former local and appreciate the convenience and kindness of the staff. Gas station next door makes it easy to grab a snack, or easily walk to dining, Trader Joe’s, Pete’s coffee and shopping. Really close drive to the beach! Walkable if you’re into active lifestyle.
