Best Western Sunrise Hotel Ports O'call
1 review for Best Western Sunrise Hotel Ports O'call
"Everyone" says that this is the best place to stay in San Pedro, and if so, I cry for my town. We recently stayed there for six weeks while our home was being redone, and it was an experience I long not to repeat.
This hotel seems to do most of its business with cruise ship passengers, and as such seems to feel no need to attract repreat business.
The lobby is quite attractive, while the guest rooms are ordinary motel style. Because we were to be there for a long stay, we got a room with kitchenette. No running water, and we had to use our own extension cord for the microwave. We were right next to the wi-fi transmitter -- and could seldom get more than a very weak signal.
One of the strong points here was the "hot breakfast" offered. Hot means waffles you make yourself. Breakfast was all carbos, no protein. Better to eat out at one of Pedro's great breakfast establishments -- but none within walking distance.
To make matters worse, the hotel abuts one of San Pedro's most notorious public housing projects, whose residents use the back parking lot as a cut-through to get into downtown. One night my car was stolen. And the usual pitch for funds by the passerbyers just raised the hassle factor of staying here.
This is the closest hotel to the cruise ship terminal, but unless you insist that the cruise itself to be the high point of your trip to Pedro, maybe try another place to spend the night.
