The hotel was clean and updated, the breakfast buffet had lots of options and it was close to the piers. We were disappointed that the heated pool was still cold and right next to the hotel is a bus yard which was loud at night. There were also many transient individuals between the hotel and pier that were aggressively panhandling and inappropriate in multiple ways. Not that the hotel can do anything about that but just noteworthy especially if you have young children with you.

I liked the location, the walkability, the rooms were nice. I didn't like that there was no restaurant it only has a "to go" snack area and the bar only had basic beers. It was advertised differently. They also never heard of the Orbitz VIP program that was mentioned during booking.

This hotel really convenient to the touristy areas of San Francisco such as Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, and the Exploratorium, either by walking or public transportation. Cable car can be picked up nearby as well. The rooms were nice though the bathroom was very small. We had kids traveling with us, so the heated pool was a big plus even with San Francisco's typical chilly weather. The breakfast was the best part. Every morning they served a buffet with every option you can imagine from eggs, bacon/sausage, pancakes, fresh fruit, cold cuts, pastries and beverages. The hotel, at times, felt a little touristy and crowded, with long lines at check out and breakfast time. It's very big with a lot of people. I didn't love the idea that parking wasn't guaranteed though we were able to secure a spot without a problem. That said, I would definitely stay again if wanting to explore this area again.

It was clean and I liked our room. I also liked the location of the pool. The breakfast buffet was good just no non-pork options for meat and you cant take any breakfast out, to-go for anyone in your room that doesn’t want to sit down for breakfast. I thought for the overall experience it was way overpriced, we stayed 2 nights and I thought our total was going to be around $375 and our end chargers were around $700. Parking is 50 something per night and then the QR code they gave us to leave the garage at checkout didn’t work and we had to get a new one. They also charge $20/day if you need a microwave in the room.

I like that its close to pier39. But they can do better on food options. We dont eat pork and all they have on the hot breakfast is pork. I wish they served atleast turkey patty or sausage. We got tired of eating same food for 4 days. The food looks a lot but its because they put servings on other areas to prevent over crowding
