Cannery Row Inn

8/10 Good

"Parking on site, is a little tricky if you have a big vehicle. the balcony on our room was a small pad of concrete and 2 chairs that do not match, right by the street. The room itself was clean and didn't smell. There was an issue with the keyless entry into the room. They had to reset it 3 times before it would work. Overall it was an OK experience. The best think it was close to most "tourist" things"
