Great location

Very central to all things a tourist would want to be close to making it quite easy to walk to several attractions (Pier 39, Ghiradelli Square etc). The front desk staff was very efficient, knowledgable and courteous. We had asked if a refrigerator was included in our room, and the young gentleman that assisted us assured us that if there was no fridge, we could call down to the desk and he would have one of his guys bring one to our room. When we walked into the room, the decor was quite nice. A big comfy Sleep Number bed that the website was boasting about, very clean, and modern decor. We did notice there was no fridge, and immediately called down. Front desk staff kept his promise and sent someone to our room with a mini fridge. Had the best night's sleep of our entire four day trip at this hotel and we largely contribute that to the fabulous bed, and the quiet room. The bathroom was clean (they included great amenities that helps if you forgot to pack something). We had a great stay at this hotel.

This is a very central location to some great SF attractions. If you want to be in the heat of the action, consider this hotel since most of the time, SF parking really blows. You can leave your car parked at the hotel and very easily walk to all the close-by tourist attractions.

Back in San Francisco

The location of this hotel is perfect if you want to be down by Fisherman's Wharf. Everything is within walking distance. Did not really care for the air beds. Had to keep going to front desk to have hotel keys re-keyed. Noticed other guests doing the same thing.

Great location on the Wharf!

Very decent hotel for the price. Small room but for two people it was comfortable. Bed is a sleep number! And best of all it is close to the attractions of the wharf- all within walking distance. It would be nice if there was a fridge in the room. Warning: there are some odd locations of rooms like literally next to an elevator. We stayed on the 3rd floor across from the elevator but it wasn't too loud. Parking is expensive but super convenient. You have to remember you are in San Fran and parking is limited. Overall, I would recommend it for those travelling to see the sights in SF and experience the city!

The room, location and cleanliness of the room were excellent. The only downside is no real in house resturant or cocktail lounge.

Nice hotel to stay

For the time that I stay in the hotel I had no problems. The room was clean and the bed was super soft. The bad thing is that there is no parking and u have to pay for it. But is not that bad for the price of the parking spot.

fantastic vacation

The staff was great! I have never stayed in a hotel that went out of the way to make sure you were happy. The location can't be beat. We asked for a refridgerator and they brought us one within 10 minutes. Loved it!

great stay

Great location. Back exit leads you straight to fisherman's wharf . Hotel was mice and clean and also gave us a coupon book that saved us $ at pier 39. They also provide a shuttle van to the airport for a small fee. I would definitely stay here again .

Birthday bash in SF

Great location! Rooms were clean but average. Staff was helpful in getting us to our play in the theater district.and in recommending restaurants. A short walk to Fishermans Wharf and pier 39 really made our stay great!

You can park at the hotel up to 6:00pm on your check-out day without any extra fees. We walked a short distance to the dock for the Alcatraz tour. This hotel is very near Fishermans wharf and pier 39. Great location!!
