Disliked: Amenities
Room coffee pot was dirty and insufficient. Zero coffee in lobby; no ability to access buffet coffee; only option was purchase coffee from a store. One room had headboard outlets, an alarm clock, and ample charging, nice tv; second room had zero plug-ins older tv and no alarm clock. Inconsistency across adjoining rooms. Wouldn’t allow a rollaway (messaged the hotel weeks ahead and they confirmed receipt).

I love the breakfast and the rooms are clean and roomy. I am not a Fisherman's wharf fan but love to walk and you can get down to the water quickly and walk to the Marina or the Bridge. Or you can easily walk to North Beach, Chinatown or down around the piers.

The hotel was really lovely on the inside! Our room was clean and everyone was so nice. The breakfast was probably one of the best we’ve had at a hotel. The only downside could be that you can’t take anything out of the breakfast room. It wasn’t an issue for us but if you have a late sleeper or someone who can’t come down, just know ahead of time you can’t take anything up for them. The hotel is in perfect walking distance, has a nice bar and seating outside and we will definitely be returning the next time we are in town!
