Great vacation!!!!

Very clean hotel. A small but cozy restaurant offers a fantastic array of dishes and very Delicious. One of the best tours we experienced was these little yellow mini cars that you can rent and are street legal. These cars have a GPS system that guides you through S.F. and tells you about points of interests through the stereo system. an amazing and worth while experience. We were guided to the Golden gate Bridge, many historical sights, The Crooked Street, Coit tower, and more all with the GPS voice guided computer. Also pricey menus but amazing food here. The people here in S.F. are super kind folks. My Bride and I got off the airplane and had not one inkling as where to go yet the very benevolent locals led us to where we needed to go. To all of you who helped us Mon. Oct 22nd 2012, We thank you. Looking forward to revisiting for the second time.

Worth A Stay

I enjoyed my stay at the Best Western Tuscan Inn at Fisherman's Wharf. The location was great. The hotel is next to shops, restaurants and a grocery store directly across the street. Just about all you need is within walking distance. The staff was excellent. They did their best to accommodate me. I was very pleased with their service. I would stay there again.

EXCELLENT LOCATION!!!

This was my first time visiting San Francisco. Flew in from the east coast. The staff was very friendly, the room was very comfortable. I liked the fact that there was a fridge as well as a safe in the room. The location wasgreat.....two short blocks (about a 5 minute walk) to the waterfront and many of the sightseeing tours. Definitely would recommend this hotel! Sat at the concierge's desk in the lobby to hook me up with all the tours and attractions.

Great stay.

Our experience here was great. The room is a little small but perfect for just two people. Comfortable bed, clean room, good staff and perfect location. It's walking distance from fisherman's wharf and there's a Walgreen's right across the street from here. I'd definitely stay here again.

Close to Wharf

Hotel room was small for the price but everything was very clean and comfortable. Was good to have the valet parking since parking is at a premium in the area. Hotel staff very friendly. If you're a walker, you can walk just about everywhere.

Excellent hotel in a great location

This is a very agreeable hotel with friendly staff and in a perfect location to enjoy the considerable delights of San Francisco. My husband is a person with disability and while we had been given a room to accomodate disability,my husband found the bathroom problematic in that it had a seat over the low bath but the shower head was fixed and not reachable from the seat, the seat being at the opposite end to the shower.I should add that we did not bring it to the attention of staff.

Long Weekend Getaway

Location was was perfect in that you could walk to any location in the Wharf area that you wanted. Street noise was there but you are in a big city and that is to be expected. We were able to sleep like babies so it did not bother us at all. The wine happy hour was a big plus when we mentioned this to a couple that was staying in another hotel they mentioned they were in the wrong place. Will be honest in that when it said Best Western I was concerned but my worries were put to rest after checking in and getting to the room. If you are going to San Fran and want to stay in the Wharf area look no more this is the place.
