The room was spacious and clean. We received a warm welcome on arrival. The location wasn’t the best - next to a busy road and very limited options for eateries in walking distance. It suited our purpose as an easy place to get to Point Reyes.

Wharf Inn was the perfect spot for our San Francisco adventure! The location was ideal - steps away from Pier 39, delicious food, and those iconic cable cars. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Loved waking up to the sounds of the sea lions and the bustling wharf. Highly recommend.
