Victorian Inn

Victorian Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Our kids loved the continental breakfast. We were able to make our own Belgian waffles. The hotel is conveniently located, but if your walking to Cannery Row there's a slight up and down hill walk back and forth from the hotel. The weather in August was cool to cold, but I still would have appreciated having air conditioning mainly because I didn't want to open the sliding door since we were on the first floor. One other thing to note, one of the kids in our grou thought the hotel was kind of spooky/scary because it's an older Victorian hotel. I'm guessing because the kids are more used to staying at resort style hotels."

8/10 Good
"It was a nice experience and great staff. The room was clean and kept tidy during the stay with plenty of towels. I only did not like the pillows. I wish I had brought my own because the hotel pillows were not fluffy. They flattened during use and I had to fold them in half and they still were not sturdy enough. I will bring my own next time but I would stay again. Room service was also delish."
