Posizione strategica, pulito. Ci siamo trovati bene. L'unico appunto che siamo rimasti male e' la tariffazione del parcheggio differente per chi prenota direttamente 15$, rispetto a noi con Expedia e' costato 30$ giorno equivalente ad un parcheggio pubblico nei dintorni.

Not good

My trip was a family getaway and it was our first time in San Francisco so even though we did not spend much time in the hotel the time that we did spend inside, there was a weird odor. There was stains on the wall. There was a lot of improper maintenance work that has been done in the past And cosmetically. It looks horrible. It was loud from other rooms and no control on keeping it quiet for resting purposes.

Quick trip

The staff was nice but it was a little busy in lobby with just the one person working. Our room was not ready and we came in after the 3pm check in time. But they gave me the keys and said to come back in 15 minutes, which was ok because my family wanted to get food. The room was clean but our tv didn’t work the front desk person came and fixed it for us which was nice. The parking was safe and convenient. With it being right on the wharf it was a little loud. But I booked it last minute and it was worth what I paid. The staff was nice and friendly and my son liked the complimentary water in the lobby.

This property had some good points and some bad! The number one good point is location! Just a block over from Fisherman's wharf and right across the street from hop on hop off bus tour. Another positive is secured parking and entry via locked gate. Also beds were ver comfortable. Negatives no ac! Only one tiny window on bottom of row of windows opens so no way to get air flow in room unless you leave door to room wide open. Staff was very unfriendly and cold. Not interested in being helpful at all. in addition to cost of hotel they require an additional security deposit. Grounds around hotel are also very dirty. Towels were stiff and not enough provided for guests stayin in room asked for more towels none were available. Not enough plugs in room either. Definitely a lot of improvements are needed but location is what brings people back to this old outdated hotel!

The bed was very comfortable the staff was excellent however the homeless actions the street at 7/11 were very noisy most of the night & it was very dirty outside of the property the hotel itself NEEDS upgrades it definitely HAS POTENTIAL the staff was extremely attentive it’s the homeless people around the property & the overall upkeep of the property that warrants the lower rating the hotel rooms NEED upgrades wallpaper coming off the walls no AC rooms get extra stuffy no microwave if the rooms had a makeover this could easily go to a 4 ⭐️ the location so close to pier 39 add a extra star so in total 3 ⭐️

Convenient location but small space for 5

There is a mini fridge in the room which helps with food. There is a communal microwave on a different floor. Our room slept 5 people and had 2 kings and had to pay an extra fee for the 5th person. Once we arrived to get a roll away bed this cost an extra $20 per night. I do not even think the bed would fit in the room. The location was prime but it is definitely a 2 star hotel. It worked for us but definitely is not for everybody.
