They only had a blanket and would charge me with $20 per night for an additional comforter. The location near fisherman's wharf is great. Gated parking is also great, though they charged me $30 per night for parking through Expedia. Because the cost of parking is still competitive compared to the near parking lot.

The hotel was in older condition but felt secure, even tho in a high traffic tourist area. Location made up for everything - we walked to Fisherman’s Wharf, the sea lions and restaurants, Ferris wheel, and Boudin Bakery and cafe.

no air conditioner and the room seemed to get stuffy not cold enough to need a heater but the fan above the bed wasn't enough. The shower curtain wasn't long enough so water splashed around the bathroom and even triple checking it was turned off the shower dripped all night. It made me understand Edger Allen Poe's "a tale tell heart." The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was an extremely convenient location. Only a 5 minute walk to the pier.

Room was old paint chipping, drywall cracks, old furnishings and fixtures. The location is prime and the price is reasonable but if you are very picky about certain things, for a few bucks more you can get a newer more modern room right across the street.

NO HEAT! We were told they hadn't turned on the 'boiler' yet that day- 50degrees!!! 3 in the afternoon at checkin. HOTELS.COM showed (and still shows) Self-parking. IT IS NOT FREE- nowhere does it say paid parking on description. $20/day= an extra $40. NO MAID SERVICE- no coffee 2nd day, NO clean towels- THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE

When we first arrived, the attendant gave us the wrong room, which was nothing like the pictures. The rooms heater did not work there are holes in the walls. When I looked over my room details I went to the office and told them I paid for an ocean view room she told me that the computer automatically gave me the room. She corrected the room and gave us the room we paid for. This room was nicer, but the hotel is old, it had chipped paint, the toilet wouldn’t flush(they brought me a plunger) no microwave in room it had a coffee maker but no bottles of water. The bed was comfortable and the heater worked but it was either on or off it would not shut off after a temp was reached. We stayed 3 days and we were only there to sleep as we were out all day. The location is perfect next to everything plus the bus and trolly system. I would stay here again but I would be prepared for the room.

We arrived at 7 pm, and unfortunately there was no parking left in the hotel lot. However, there was a parking structure a 2 minute walk away that was reasonably priced for the night with in/out privileges. The room itself was clean, though the refrigerator had an odor. The beds were very comfortable, shower was hot, and room was quiet. All things considered, we would stay at this hotel again. You really can’t beat the location and proximity to Fisherman’s Wharf. It was less than a 15 minute walk to Ghirardelli Square and less than a 5 minute walk to Pier 39.

The staff at this hotel was great for the most part - but the hotel needs a little love. Great location - walkable to most things. Heat didn't work properly, the curtains were stained... it needs a good wash and a coat of paint. The beds were clean, mattresses could be flipped... you sort of rolled to the side of the bed!! bathroom was clean. They didn't say rooms weren't being cleaned and we had to ask for towels, coffee, cups, changing garbage - and because it was cold out with heat not working properly we had to ask for blankets. When we arrived the key to the door wouldn't work and the young lady on the front desk had to come with new lock assemblies to try and change it so the door would lock! Asking a lot of someone probably not making a great wage!! Great parking, very secure.
