Great Stay

This hotel was just 2 blocks from the wharf with shopping and food. I love the convenience of where it was located. The pillows were a little uncomfortable but overall we loved it. It was quiet and peaceful at night as well! We will be back!

The Presidio is a great place to visit just north of the wharf and right by the Golden Gate bridge. The exploratorium was absolutely amazing to see and well worth visiting!

Nice staff and room

The staff was very nice. They gave me a travel pack with a shaver, shampoo, and toothbrush with toothpaste, and I did not even ask for it! The free breakfast was fine, but the eggs were a bit dry. I would only recommend that they add oatmeal to their menu. The room itself was nice, but did not have a flatscreen TV, so the picture was not that good. Overall, I recommend this hotel.

Best Choice in the Wharf

Absolutely everything we needed was at our fingertips. Location couldn't have been better and all staff was very helpful and friendly. Everything was within walking distance so it makes an ideal home base. Complimentary breakfast was above and beyond what was expected which saved $ for delicious dinners. With an evening flight we were able to arrange a late check out, luggage storage and airport shuttle while we took in one last tour.

The show Beach Blanket Babylon is an absolute must when in San Francisco. We just happened upon it and will tell everyone we know not to miss it.

Wonderful holiday time!

We were very happy with the cleanliness, assistance, and location of the hotel. It was well located at the Wharf, easy to get to bus, cable car, and trolley pickups and convenient to everything we wanted to do. We went on many excursions and bus trips all of which were available through Orbitz activities. We relied on the reviews that had been given by previous visitors who stayed at the hotel. We were definitely not disappointed! Thanks!

The people at the hotel had been to restaurants themselves and were honest about the food, service, and cost of the restaurants they recommended. We really lucked out by following their advice.

nice location, overpriced parking

Location was superb! Within walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf. Breakfast included! Only drawback was the $45 per day fee to park your rental car.

Do NOT get a rental car! Everything is within walking distance. The few attractions outside of walking distance can be reached by bus, trolley, cable car, etc or by motorcoach while doing a tour.

We will stay somewhere else next time

The rooms were clean but, very small with no view of anything. We stayed with a group of six adults, 3 rooms and we all agreed never again for the price. [...]

Nice Place, Great Location

This hotel is 3 blocks from Fisherman's Wharf. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The complementary breakfast was a nice perk. The rooms were large and spotless. Perfect spot to alight for a couple of days in San Francisco...
