Bowline Hotel

Exceptional

Liked: Location and views are perfect for this area.
Disliked: Difficult to move the curtains to the side because they are high and the makeshift curtain swag holder is backwards, so it doesn't hold the curtain over.

A must stay! The perfect...

Lovely hotel...with a couple minor...

Liked: Impeccable facilities. Clean, great location. Friendly, kind staff. Excellent bar and restaurant. Valet parking on-site. Incredible view!
Disliked: Two things:1. I pulled a hamstring whilst stepping into the shower, and I will likely be nursing that injury for several weeks to come. There is no "caution, slippery shower" notice posted, nor is there any slip mat or other mitigation on the shower floor. It's just plain slick. Holding the support bar while taking a shower proved difficult and annoying.2. For the love of all that's right and good in this world, please fix the stray, unconnected support pylon that is swaying listlessly in the water on the north side of the building. It moves with the force of the water, and bangs very loudly against the rest of the pier, which then reverberates through the whole building. I first thought someone was repeatedly slamming a door all night in an adjacent room and thought to notify the desk attendant. Nope. I walked out to the patio of my room and saw and heard it firsthand. Those earplugs in the room weren't only "in case of sea lions"...just saying.

Disappointed

Liked: The view and location was the only part of our stay that was 5 star.
Disliked: Rating is reflecting that our room smelled like dog including the bedding which is gross especially if you’re not a dog owner. The front desk asked if we had a dog at check in, we said no but were never offered a “no pet room “.Asked to have our room “tidied up”, left our room for a full day returning at 8:00 pm to our room the same as we left it, not tidied up.Parking is very hard to get close without walking a couple blocks, with a bad knee we had to do valet for an additional $30 for stay.For a price of over $800 (2 nights) we would expect a different experience, very disappointed we were excited to stay here.
