Beautiful room, friendly staff, great location in the heart of SB. Near Stearn’s Wharf, nice restaurants and is only 2 blocks from Amtrak train station. The room was large, clean, comfy, appointed with extra nice toiletries, plush towels and a superbly comfortable bed. Nice balcony and pool area. This hotel is a gem!!!

The room was spacious and clean. We were not close to the amenities; pool, hot tub, etc as we were in the north building which was away from the action. Actually quite nice for us as we are seniors. Felt like we had the whole building to ourselves as it was so quiet.

Harbor View is a great place to stay that's right on the beach. Very clean and quiet. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They advertise a poolside bar, but we discovered it doesn't open until Memorial Day. Other than that we had a great stay.
