Answer :

We really enjoyed Bates House Bed and Breakfast a few years back I have stayed at the Waterfront Plaza a couple of times, but I think they are overpriced. I haven’t tried the Coral Reef Inn and Suites, but I’m planning on trying it out next time I go over there. You might also want to look at the refurbished Inn At Jack London Square. I hear it’s nice, but be sure you get one of the renovated rooms, the last I heard some weren’t re-done.
