Just a quick visit to the hotels Knot bar for a drink as we headed “home”. Functional service and the 1st place in town pushing a tip in our face. OK drinks. Area outside for drinks close to the sea lions though we preferred the very small rooftop terrace.

This hotel is dirty. Every surface that could have dust, was dusty. I opened the kettle and it was wet. Most offensively, the toilet was dirty. I only realized this the morning after my one night stay. This wasn't one visit's worth of neglect. The toilet had not been cleaned long enough to have nasty black buildup under the rim and a line of filth developing at the waterline. It is beyond disrespectful to charge this much money, and present yourself as an upscale hotel and then you're not even cleaning the toilet between guests. That being said, Heidi at the front desk is amazing. I hope she's being paid what she's due, because shes a pro at making you feel welcome.

March 30, 2026Jaime JTie this one down! Love the Bowline!
Our Luxe River View King 1st Floor room #8 exceeded my expectations! The room is spacious, love the furniture and decor plus an incredible view of the river! It was quiet and serene and cozy with the fireplace on during a rainy morning. Loved the sauna! Very enjoyable 1 night stay here and would highly recommend! We enjoyed drinks at The Knot and friendly service.

First time stay
Great spot! Friendly staff, the rooms are awesome and one of the most comfortable beds i’ve slept in. They are right on the water. I’d do the $15 valet service because parking is rough. The vibes are definitely laidback yet has a luxury to it. I do recommend using the earplugs they provide because they have noisy sea lion neighbors that bark often but i didn’t mind because i kinda love them. In the lobby they have a little bar and restaurant that offers some good food with beautiful views! Great location for walking around close enough to shops and food.

Overpriced, Noisy, No Hot Water, No Shower Pressure and Not Very Clean
The Bowline is extremely overpriced for the hotel experience delivered. We paid over $500/night for a river view room Saturday - Sunday during February (so off-season.) Pro: The view and location Cons: - No hot water and terrible shower pressure - Bathroom was not clean. Hairs and grim on back of toilet, soap/lotion dispensers were caked with product. - Rest of room was very dusty, with holes in the pillow cases - There was trash from the previous occupant in a bin - Extremely uncomfortable memory foam bed. We both woke up with sore backs. - Multiple yapping dogs in the room across from us and down the hall. Could be heard clearly in the room. Doors slamming. - It took 30 minutes standing on line to check in. - Staff did not ask how our stay was, and barely acknowledged us when we checked out. Do not recommend.
