Great stay
Stayed here for one night on our way to San Diego for Spring break. This place was amazing, really exceeded all expectations. Great service and very clean. Pool area was peaceful and relaxing. Quiet, pristine street that easily walkable to restaurants and beach. The king suite was really spacious and only slightly more expensive than the double queen. Will definitely plan to stay again

Great hotel in a great location!
Great stay with a clean and modern room. The pool area was nice as well. You could hear people walking and talking and the bathroom in our own room was not soundproof but other than that, it was great! Location was perfect and the staff was very friendly and attentive!

Charming hotel in SB
Such a charming little hotel in SB! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable! They even had bikes we rented to ride around the city. The hotel is a bike ride away from lots of little shops and restaurants! I would most definitely recommend this hotel and will be booking there again next time I am in SB!

The rooms were very nicely appointed and clean, with lots of area for storage. We could easily walk to local spots like Stearns Wharf, State Street, and the beach.
Staff was very friendly, and it was a bonus to have coffee and a light breakfast available in the morning.
Would definitely stay here again.

Great beds! Updated hotel…but a little noisy.
Very comfortable beds! Brand new/updated hotel!
They could stand to offer some morning danishes with coffee in the morning instead of just cookies.
There was an issue with walls nit being insulated enough to hear next door and hear the plumbing noises.
Also dont love the extra charge if you want to check in early by 2 hours prior for $20 or $10 for one hr prior. Plus the $18 parking.
Its an updated beautifuly designed and decorated room and the workers were very kind and welcoming.

Cute but annoying service
Charming hotel, great design/decor and location. Perfect for weekend getaway. Main complaint was that their cleaning team started at 8AM on Sunday morning up and down the halls, woke us up and it was hard to enjoy the second half of our stay, as there were no less than a dozen cleaning crew members in the hallways, in the lobby and all over the hotel (it's a very small hotel so it was perhaps more noticeable than larger hotels?) - we were stepping over vacuum cords, squeezing by multiple cleaning carts - etc. I wish they could have waited to begin their major cleaning service until late morning so that we could have had a peaceful morning enjoying the property and didn't feel like we were being rushed out.

Mason Beach in was super close to State Street, but far enough away where it was quiet. The hot tub was lovely and the pool was heated even in winter! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and nice. The beds were great. I will definitely return.

Quiet and Great Location
Just a "Get into the Sun & outta the Rain" vacation. The location was great for walking to the market, sight seeing, the wharf and state street. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle though. Beautiful, updated rooms and pool area.
