Wharf central

Close to everything but be prepared to bring something to clean the doors/door jams/handles and your own sheets. Tiny room with hard bed and shower only, no tub in our single queen size room. They say no vacancy every night so I don't know why they haven't updated since the 70's for the price they charge. All in all they price did not justify the closeness to the wharf. A cheaper hotel a block away probably with the same problems would of been just fine.

Great Location

I was pretty happy with my stay here. The hotel isn't anything special, it looks a bit old from the outside but the rooms are clean and fairly updated looking. You can't beat the location, it is just a block or 2 to Fisherman's Wharf and walking distance to a ton of other places. You can pay more for a bit fancier place but in all honesty, you really are only in the room to sleep so it was a good choice for us. And, the free parking was a major plus!

Great location,good value

Almost opposite Pier 39 this hotel is perfectly placed to park your car and walk through San Francisco. This hotel is basic,clean and very reasonable compared with similar positioned hotel.There is no $45 a day parking it's included in the room rate as is Internet and coffee in reception. A IHOP is opposite for breakfast as is a 7 11 for any necessities. Ask for a room near the back as it does get noisy at night.

Location, Location, Location! If that is important to enjoy the Wharf / Ghiradelli or ride the trolly to Union Square this is the place for you. Facility is dated but clean and staff is helpful.

Don't stay in room 201

The location was perfect. Loved being able to walk to everything. Room 201 not so great!! The room was flanked by the elevator and stairwell and the ice machine. Did not get much sleep. Complained to the front desk on check out and the guy said not a word. Really not one word. Weird.
