This was the most expensive hotel on a 7 day trip to California. I stayed here 7 years ago and came back because of the location. The hallways are just as disgusting as they were then, but I think they have done some upgrades to the rooms. We paid for the convenience to Fisherman’s Wharf and the secure parking. Took 3 phone calls to have them turn heat on for the room. Okay stay for one night.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The hotel had great security. The street was pretty busy and sometimes noisy. Note, the rooms do not have central air.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed for 2 nights and although the motel was convenient to access popular attractions the motel itself left alot to be desired. Our door had a gap, raised floor boards, old and musty furniture, hard mattress and an expired elevator permit just to name a few. The gates parking was a plus but at times could not come and go freely as you relied on staff to open gate.

Not like pictures

It was nothing like the pictures. It was very run down. The room was clean but very run down. Definitely not worth what I paid for, however I realize the location of this inn was on the warf. So that could be why it’s pricy. Parking was only $30 a day. That’s a great price compared to other places. Service from the staff was great. Always professional and willing to help.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were friendly and helpful, but they weren't always present or available. The room was clean, but it was in serious need of updating. The fixtures were old and loose, the bedding was thin and cheap, and the flooring was worn. The light from the hallways blares into the room, and it's impossible to get it dark. Plus, the city sounds come right through the thin walls. The location is great - nice and close to all the attractions at the Pier. But I thought the pricepoint was high for the state of the hotel. No more than 2 stars. Would not stay here again.

Looks a bit shaggy from the outside but the pictures matched my room on the inside. It was a perfect location for the Warf and had tbe Big Bus tour directly across the street. Everything was secured bt having your room to access the fates and elevator. Also the 24 hr staff was always by the entrance so I felt safe.

Walkable distance to most piers including Alcatraz Landing Pier 33. Many food options in the area. The noise level can get high at night as hotel faces 7-Eleven and near busy streets. We found our junior suite comfortable and spacious for a family. We don’t have any complaints. Stay would be better if breakfast was offered especially now that you will be charged for parking. We parked at the hotel but we saw plenty of public parking nearby and cheaper.
