Great location, nice room.

Great location - within walking distance to many must-see spots and close to other transportation options also. Although the room was tiny, it was nicely styled and clean, as was the rest of the hotel. Staff were polite and helpful.

Just up the street, barely a walk, is the Hollywood Grill - had breakfast there every day we could; fantastic food and service. Don't be scared off if there are people waiting as it's normally not a long wait and is worth it anyway.

Nice Stay!

The hotel was right in the middle of it all. We walked to almost every location we were there to see. Room was a little tight. The staff was very friendly upon arrival, but a little too slow to helps out with our bags (they may have just been understaffed at that hour?)As with everything in SF the hotel meals were a little steep for what you got, and there really isn't anything close that is.

This was a great location, great value

My husband took me to "wine country" to celebrate my birthday. We spent our last day in San Francisco. We got to the Tuscan @ 11:00 A.M. Check in was 4:00 P.M. The desk clerk could not find our reservation but gave us a room right away and called [...] to get things straightened out. The room was quite small but nicely decorated and very clean. We did request the garden side from other reviews that I had read. Very quiet. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The location was great. Spent time at the wharf and Alcatraz. We would stay there again.

Great place to stay near the Wharf

Good location near many activities and transportation. Good restaurant and friendly staff. Streetside room a little noisy but not bad with the fan on. We'd recommend it

Great San Francisco location

The hotel is located just a few blocks from Fisherman's Wharf and public transit. In addition to great location, the hotel offered a free glass of wine from 5-6 in the afternoon in the hotel lobby which was a nice way to connect with other travelers and share experiences. We literally only slept in the hotel as we were out all day, but staff was very friendly and helpful, and there were many restaurants, both large and small, to choose from for every meal.
