Stayed here for 1 night because of the location. From the reviews I read I was honestly worried about staying here and considered changing hotels but for the price and free parking and location we figured it's only 1 night lets chance it. I'm glad we did. The hotel is nothing fancy but the front desk was helpful and the... More

We always love staying here.. This time we had the penthouse. Check the rates for different times of the year. Rates can double in all San Fran properties during certain months. The access to public transport is great, 2 blocks from a cable car, half block from street car and bus. We get the 3 day passport pass good for... More

Great location, Hotel is very basic, we had a hand-I-cap room. The room was clean and staff was friendly. No added cost to park on site. Balcony rooms facing the street are a must, great view of the bay, but a little noisy. Rooms have fans overheard, no A/C (not needed). Walk to Fisherman's Wharf and other sites. City tour... More

My sister had to cancel a non refundable reservation, and the manager Michael agreed to cancel the reservation for a small fee. This is why dealing with small businesses is better than dealing with large corporations. Other large hotels or businesses will never refund a non refundable fee. Thank you - Michael.

Great location of hotel right by Fisherman's Wharf. Walked to many sites right from hotel. Ask for "Balcony" rooms, I think 210-215 and 310-315. Our view was of a large white brick building and there was no air circulating or breeze. Room was very warm with no air conditioning. No blow dryer. Beds very comfortable. Staff helpful and friendly as... More

We had a lovely stay in San Francisco and the Wharf Inn is in a perfect location. The fact you had to swipe your accesscard to use the lift or stairs was extra security for us and our children. We stayed in a "suite" as we had 2 adults and 3 children but still found this very small. 2 large... More

Is the worst experience I have ever had. We were going to stay just for one night, the location great but once we enter the our room we saw that our pillows had some blood stains, we call front desk and the guy said that it could not be true that the room was cleaned before we came and that...

Basic motel but plenty of room in our room with two queen beds. It was a bit noisy with all of the traffic, partiers, etc, but since we were only there for one night, it wasn't bad. The location is great. It is a short block to Fisherman's Wharf. The desk clerk was very helpful and provided a map and... More

We stayed here for three nights near the end of July 2012. The benefits of this hotel are easily summed up: price and location. You'd be hard pressed to find a better deal this close to the Wharf and Pier 39 - they're literally a few steps from the front desk of the hotel. Of course, this could very well... More
