Most recent user reviewsScore 5 out of 5 Very convenient & comfortable Phyllis, 2007-02-19 The Best Western Tuscan Inn at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco was very comfortable room and was well maintained. The location a few blocks from Pier 39 afforded us walking distance to many attractions. I would very much recommend it. Access to ice and soda pop was also out of the way and construction was going on in that area.

Score 3 out of 5 Not the best Greg, Minneapolis, MN, 2006-06-18 If you are a tourist, this is the area to stay. You are only two block's from Fisherman's Warf. You are also walking distance to Coit Tower, North Beach, and Telegraph Hill.The desk staff was friendy and the check-in was painless and quick. I went to my room and threw may suitcase on the floor and took a short nap. When I woke up I started noticing that things were not exactly as they should be. There was a half empty water bottle on the desk, there were fast food bags in the garbage, and when I went to take a shower I found used towels in the bathtub. On closer inspection I also found crumbs on the bed. I called the front desk and they sent someone up to help me move to another room. The hotel employee was very nice and apologize multiple times. Now this is where true customer service would shine. If there is a problem, a hotel or restraunt or whatever, should not just fix the problem, they should make the situation better. No so with this hotel. I realize it was a Saturday night and they may not have had a large chioce of rooms to move me to, but I went from a quiet room located on a side street to a room located over the main enterance, where I could hear every car and motorcycle that went by, and I could also hear people takling as the walked past the front of the hotel. I realize my experience is the exception not the rule, but I don't think it was handled as well as it could have been. That said here is what I thought of the hotel: Staff: Very friendly. Check-in and check-out: Speedy check-in and check-out. No problems. Lobby: Very nice. Rooms: Well kept up, a little small compared to another hotel I had stayed at in the area. Restaurant: I didn't eat there, but if I would have stayed another night I would have tried it. It looked like a nice restaurant. Overall condition of the hotel: Kept up very well.

Go for it! Score 5 out of 5 Location and hospitality in one Kevin, Chicago, IL, 2005-12-29 Take a walk along the bay early to appreciate the sunrise and early swimmers...as well as the breathtaking views from the hill over Fort Mason.This hotel was conscientious enough to let us choose between three rooms in order to avoid tourist noise on the street below. The rooms was extremely clean, made up early for our convenience, and both check-in and check-out were efficient and friendly. The location is terrific...walking distance to the best sights around Fisherman's Wharf....and the adjacent restaurant is a real plus!
