Grounds are nice and property appears well maintained. Room was clean and comfortable and a value for the area. No guest laundry is a negative. Also unlit steps I fell on at night across parking lot from room 112 to pool area are a hazard. Need a handrail and better lighting/ marking.

It was a lovely spot, close to the coastal trail, walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf and next to a lovely lake. Pool was lovely and front desk was very helpful and accommodating.
