Reviews and Ratings
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, well insulated, and quiet, providing a comfortable experience for two people. The only downside was finding random socks on the floor that didn't belong to me, which was a bit unsettling. The service was exceptional, with staff being incredibly helpful and polite, going above and beyond to assist with recommendations and directions. The location was perfect for exploring the city, being right across from the wharf and North Beach. Although the dining options were more than adequate, the prices were on the higher side. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel's annex building, accessed through Denny's, was a 'short' walk away but not really clean. The location is top-notch for exploring all the sights. The service was exceptionally nice and accommodating, providing a very pleasant stay with professional assistance from the front desk to the valet. The dining experience was excellent with an above-average variety of delicious dishes, though the continental breakfast was extra. The central location offers easy access to Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, Cable Car rides, bus rides, Maritime Museum, and more.
The hotel is comfortable and clean, with good air conditioning in the rooms. The staff is quite polite, but there are some lapses in customer care service. The location is conveniently close to the Wharf area and other attractions, making it a decent choice for a three-star hotel.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were a bit 'dated' and noisy, but considering the prime location, they were decent for the price. The service was a hit with helpful staff, but the dining experience left something to be desired in terms of value for money. The location, however, was outstanding for exploring the city.
My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were a good size with twin queen beds, creating a comfortable space, and the bathroom layout was convenient with the wash basin inside. However, the room overlooked a noisy side street, making it a bit disruptive at night.
Despite the noise from the road in San Francisco, the hotel offered a convenient laundry room for catching up on laundry. The rooms were dated, but the location was excellent in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf. The dining experience was pricey for breakfast but with something for everyone, and the service was superb and accommodating.
The hotel is well-located, making it convenient to walk to many sites on the wharf. The service was excellent, with helpful and kind staff. The dining experience was good but a bit on the pricier side. The rooms, although lacking some equipment, were comfortable overall.
My stay at the hotel was close to Spartan but not soundproof. The rooms were not ready on time, and upgrading to rooms with guests on extended check-out only caused inconvenience. However, the location was excellent for exploring the wharf area and nearby attractions. The pool was a pleasant spot to relax, and the on-site parking was convenient and safe. Unfortunately, there were instances of rudeness towards Asian guests and the need for modernization was evident.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean and comfy, and the staff was super friendly. The location was perfect, within walking distance to many attractions and dining options. However, the noise level from outside was a bit bothersome, and the dining experience didn't meet my expectations in terms of value for money.
My stay at this hotel was really good, especially considering the location. The rooms were clean and promptly attended to any extra needs we had like towels. The service was lovely and helpful, offering various amenities like dry cleaning and tours. The location was outstanding, just blocks away from all the attractions and dining spots. The dining experience was good, but staff rushed us a bit, and prices were high. Overall, a pleasant experience.
