Room clean, bed comfy, plenty of hot water for showers. There is no air conditioning and it was rather warm in our room. They do have fans. Hallways are a little outdated. The location is amazing. Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 right there outside door of hotel. Parking is $30 but well worth the ease and safety factor. Would stay here again

Not what is in the photos!

Just a heads up. IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE PHOTOS IN APP. The location was the only good thing. Know they will charge you double for saving money using a 3rd party. Parking is TIGHT. You might want to spend a little more and get MUCH NICER. I learned my lesson. The towels are like sand paper, broken curtains, etc.

The only good thing about it is that it is close to Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. This property does not have microwave or air conditioning in their rooms and only small openings on windows. It really needs to be updated really bad. I will not be staying here again.

Rude help and smelly rooms

Our rooms were not ready at check in! We asked for an another room and answer was no. So upon going into our rooms (3) we were disappointed of the conditions the rooms smelt old and smelled of mold! The pictures on Hotel.com are not accurate at all . Showers were disgusting which is probably why there are no pictures online and there is NO AC the ceiling fans are very shaky and look dangerous right above the bed . They only have fans and the “lamp” by the bed literally shocked my husband when he tried to get it to work . Only thing convenient about this place is the location .

Can he better for the price

This is a simple bed and bath hotel room, good enough to stay for a night and leave. If you are OK with huge roadside noise, beds and sheets that are 20 years old, paper thin walls that can help you hear conversation from next room, bathroom with showers that leaks all time, homeless guys sleeping right outside the hotel building, but you want to stay right in the heart of Fisherman's Warf then this is a good hotel!

Some great, some not so great

Good: Very close to Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. Short walk to Ghirardelli square. Lower price than expected considering the location. Friendly staff. Nice beds, fridge. Bad: Old building with numerous cosmetic flaws. Rooms are dated. Glass slat window missing a pane of glass. Room had a weird smell. Turned on the heater fan to help- it had another weird smell. Overall- really good price, great location fairly comfortable. Was a fine stay for me alone. My wife would have hated it!

Posizione strategica, pulito. Ci siamo trovati bene. L'unico appunto che siamo rimasti male e' la tariffazione del parcheggio differente per chi prenota direttamente 15$, rispetto a noi con Expedia e' costato 30$ giorno equivalente ad un parcheggio pubblico nei dintorni.

Not good

My trip was a family getaway and it was our first time in San Francisco so even though we did not spend much time in the hotel the time that we did spend inside, there was a weird odor. There was stains on the wall. There was a lot of improper maintenance work that has been done in the past And cosmetically. It looks horrible. It was loud from other rooms and no control on keeping it quiet for resting purposes.

Quick trip

The staff was nice but it was a little busy in lobby with just the one person working. Our room was not ready and we came in after the 3pm check in time. But they gave me the keys and said to come back in 15 minutes, which was ok because my family wanted to get food. The room was clean but our tv didn’t work the front desk person came and fixed it for us which was nice. The parking was safe and convenient. With it being right on the wharf it was a little loud. But I booked it last minute and it was worth what I paid. The staff was nice and friendly and my son liked the complimentary water in the lobby.

This property had some good points and some bad! The number one good point is location! Just a block over from Fisherman's wharf and right across the street from hop on hop off bus tour. Another positive is secured parking and entry via locked gate. Also beds were ver comfortable. Negatives no ac! Only one tiny window on bottom of row of windows opens so no way to get air flow in room unless you leave door to room wide open. Staff was very unfriendly and cold. Not interested in being helpful at all. in addition to cost of hotel they require an additional security deposit. Grounds around hotel are also very dirty. Towels were stiff and not enough provided for guests stayin in room asked for more towels none were available. Not enough plugs in room either. Definitely a lot of improvements are needed but location is what brings people back to this old outdated hotel!
