Everything was great, the room is spacious and comfortable, the staff is super welcoming and friendly (except for one receptionist sadly) and the location is extremely convenient. The breakfast is not substantial, so we recommend buying a little something at the Walgreens at 1 minute walk from the hotel or another nearby store. The common area near the lobby is equipped with various board and card games, wonderful for family or friend socialization, what a lovely idea!

Great choice for our 3 night stay. Swift check in and larger than expected King Urban View (of a tree) room 177, bathroom small but perfectly functional with everything very clean. No robes or slippers but nice fluffy towels and great amenities.
Ample wardrobe and drawer space with iron, board and hairdryer.
Tea/coffee maker and fridge were a bonus with Walgreens opposite for water and extras. Ice bucket and machine in the hallway but no glasses to be found anywhere, only paper (My own plastic never fail)
Rather dated safe with key which threateningly was THE only one, so fearing taking it out we hid it in the room.
Lots of lighting options, but more for ambiance than function. USB ports handy, but on just one nightstand.
Always appreciate separate seating, so found the sofa really comfy as too the beds which were very squishy and had lovely bedding and pillows.
The hard edge design of the room was softened with the carpet and the concrete wall effect being of paper, so a lot more comfortable than I thought.
Being on the corner of Jones and North Point, traffic sat at lights could be noisy but it soon quietened around midnight and thoughtfully ear plugs had been supplied.
As two lone females we felt perfectly safe walking around here. A short walk to Piers 39 and 33 (for Alcatraz) Fishermans Wharff was a great area with the weekend bringing lots of families and the holidays adding a great atmosphere.
A wonderful stay we loved it!

The hotel is perfectly located, easy walk to Pier 39/Fisherman’s Wharf and the Powell/Mason cable car turnaround (both within 2blocks). The hotel is well appointed in an ‘industrial fashion’. The staff were very friendly and helpful - most of all, Jordan at the Concierge Desk. Every restaurant and activity that he gave recommendations of were…

The hotel is perfectly located, easy walk to Pier 39/Fisherman’s Wharf and the Powell/Mason cable car turnaround (both within 2blocks). The hotel is well appointed in an ‘industrial fashion’. The staff were very friendly and helpful - most of all, Jordan at the Concierge Desk. Every restaurant and activity that he gave recommendations of were spot on. Do try the Millionaire bacon at Surinan and the New Thai Elephant restaurants - food was spectacular! Waymo driverless cars often cheaper than the cable car when heading downtown to Union.

Perfect location.

Had a great stay at this hotel, it's a fantastic location to explore the city. Staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were large and clean. Fisherman's wharf is a short walk away with all the tourist favourites and Lombard street was a short walk away too.

In June 2024, my husband and I visited the Myrtle beach, SC Marriott and attended their sales promotion for the vacation club. A man named KARL was our salesperson and he assured us that we were not buying a time share.
Since my husband travels extensively and is a Marriott Bonvoy member, we felt comfortable that this vacation program was not a scam and had a chance of being a good program. We signed up, paid the downpayment and were told that anytime, if we decided that this program was not for us, we could call Marriott and they would buy this back from us. He also assured that it was easy to book reservation, all we had to do was to go on line or call the call 800 number and book the next vacation.
Another issue: As a spouse, I did not get automatically registered for Marriott Bonvoy membership, nor receive points, as we were promised by the sales guy. When I inquired, the answer was that I was not primary account holder and the system did not get set up by the sales department for my account.
In July, we started receiving a lot of paper documents that we are a time share owner. We were very confused and concerned. As a note , we are in our Sixties and very cautious about what is out there targeting our age group. We also did not get any e mails or phone calls as to how to use this program. No welcoming e mail or letters, no account numbers. NOTHING.
The only time we heard from Marriott was to collect dues and loan papers.
My husband set up his on line account in October and called to make trip plans. Each time the site showed no availability. We couldn’t make trip plans even months ahead. The Web site had an error message that came on. Extremely frustrated by being lied to and terrible customer service we received from sales and management of the sales. We called all the following numbers listed below to get help. It took us about 10 hours of work to figure out that we were in trouble with this company and been scammed.
If we had read all the negative google reviews regarding this vacation club, we wouldn’t have joined. We just trusted Marriott as a company which in hindsight was wrong.
Reservation line 877- 204-1239
Owner services line 800- 845- 4226 (A rep told us that the web site is not working well and we did not have enough points to even travel for one week to our designated destination)
Advocate line 800- 936-6824 ( were told that we had to plan 13 months in advance to travel)
Marriott 843-692-5500 Extention #5
New member services 800 519-6824
Exit services 866- 682- 4547
Ron Hunt, supervisor of KARL 301-518-6742
Ron Capps, Supervisor of the office 843-692-5601
Askley Pearce, Manager: The office refused to provide his number. We e mailed him with no reply. Finaly we connected with him via phone calls and he did not have much to offer.
We called the exit department and asked if they would buy back our membership. The lady laughed and said they don’t do that. There is no availability for that kind of service. Once again Sales guy LIED.
We are going to send this letter to BBB and post this on Google reviews for everyone to read how manipulative and scam this program is. We will terminate this membership on our own.
Please be aware that the Marriott Vacation Club is not what it sounds to be, Pure rip off.
