3rd time a charm-not

Our 3rd stay at the Tuscan, great location, friendly and helpful staff. Good value, but..... The lobby was being renovated(which we didnt know about), being modernized- to bad- the thing that brought us back to the Tuscan was the"Italian" theme and particularily the lobby. It was disorganized, long waits for the elevator, room was not very clean. We will miss the "old" Tuscan! Sometimes changing an already good thing doesnt make sense!

Use the Muni pass, parking is expensive. For a long stay I would not recommend bringing a car. Plus its fun to walk the neighborhoods, ride the trolleys and cable cars. The Muni goes everywhere in town.

A good time!

My son and I were in San Francisco for two days before going to Sonoma for a wedding. The hotel was good for our needs and the price was fair for the area. The rooms are a bit small but the location near the wharf is great. The staff and service provided is the main reason I would recommend this hotel. Everyone we encountered was friendly and very helpful. I hope I have another opportunity to visit this wonderful city and if so, will likely stay here again.

Close to Fisherman's Wharf

The Tuscan is an established, comfortable hotel overall. Unfortunately, they cleared the furniture, etc. out the lobby after the first day of our stay in order to remodel, and from there on it was inconvenient and noisy. The entire hotel is now under renovation. The staff is superb, as is the adjoining restaurant (excellent seafood). The location is very convenient , and within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf sites, excellent restaurants and cable cars.

Great Location, good staff and room

The location near Fisherman's Warf was excellent. Convenient to the trolley as well as bikes to rent for a short ride to the Golden Gate Bridge. Staff were helpful and one of the staff was extremely friendly, upbeat and such a happy guy. The Italian restaurant that is attached to the hotel was quite good too.

Nice place near the warf and trolley / BART connections

Nice hotel. rooms are small. Wine hour is a nice touch ( even though they are pouring "2 buck Chuck" from the Trader Joe down the street. But it give you a chance to mix with fellow travelers and share adventures. We had a room overlooking theinside "courtyard", so we did not have any street noise. Parking is pricey, and cars useless in SF, so forgo and use the $15 to $20 shuttel to get from the airport. we would definitly come back

It worked for us

Not much time was spent in the room because we were mostly out sight seeing and being tourists. The hotel staff was very pleasant. The only complaint I have (which really isn't a complaint seeing as we were hardly there) is that the room was extremely small and there was just two of us. The windows also face the street and it can get pretty noisy at times so if you are a lite sleeper I wouldn't recommend staying there. Other then that everything was just fine. If we needed to stay there again we would.

Attractions are just a short walk from the hotel. We walked every where we needed/wanted to go. Alcatraz Landing is just a short distance and the tour of Alcatraz was terrific.
