The hotel

In the middle of Fisherman's Wharf, you'll find yourself in a great spot, close to PIER 39 and Ghirardelli Square. The famous cable car turnaround is just outside too, so you can easily get to other neighbourhoods. There's a smart, maritime theme throughout the hotel making it a warm, relaxing respite from the city. And an American breakfast will fire you up for the day. Why not head over to the notorious ex-prison Alcatraz, wander around vibrant Chinatown or take a walk down to the Golden Gate Bridge.

We chose this hotel based on location and price. It represents excellent value for money, and the location was perfect to catch the cable cars, bus and tram. Get a day pass for $13 including cable cars from either the Cable Car turnaround or Walgreens on Columbus - the only cheap thing in San Francisco! There are many restaurants in all price classes within a few minutes walk. For those wanting to hire a car on leaving, Hertz, Alamo, National and Enterprise have locations practically around the corner. Our king room was large, clean and relatively modern. It was quiet, apart from some hallway noise. The bathroom was adequate. Shower pressure very low. Breakfast was of a good standard, with daily changing menu items. Watch out for the biscuits…..they were only there on one day and I missed them 😥. My biggest problem was the bathroom light that works on a movement sensor. At night, it lights up the room like Piccadilly Circus when someone goes in. It can be switched off, but will come on again the next time someone goes in. Hardly energy saving, as I couldn’t figure out when it turned itself off, so it stayed on seemly for ever. Otherwise, we were very happy and would stay again. Read less

I’m giving this hotel a 5 star review because it met every expectation I had when booking it. Please know this is not luxury accommodations. It is not a 5 star hotel per se.

I’m giving this hotel a 5 star review because it met every expectation I had when booking it. Please know this is not luxury accommodations. It is not a 5 star hotel per se. You will have everything you need in your room to sleep comfortably, shower, and make a morning coffee. The rooms are very clean and either new or recently renovated. We had absolutely no issues at all and were very grateful for an early check-in after our 15 hour flight from Australia. It is an excellent choice for a standard hotel. Kind service. Helpful. Clean. It won’t knock your socks off but was perfectly acceptable in every way. I can’t comment on the included breakfast because we used this hotel to catch some sleep during a 22 hour flight layover and our connection left very early in the morning. They did have coffee and tea set up at 5am in the lobby though, which we were grateful for. Definitely recommend! Read less

The hotel accommodations were fine. Good pillows, soft bedding. The complimentary breakfast was below par and was an absolute zoo. Additionally, overnight parking was $65 a night. This was about average for the area, but there was a no-name parking garage down the road for $40. My complaint is that this parking fee was not disclosed on the… Read more
