Disliked: Room comfort
It wasn’t great
This is honestly a very middle of the road hotel so the price is not worth it. They do have a full breakfast but it’s crazy in there & they don’t let you take food back to your room! powdered eggs & overcooked/warmed under heat lamps type. Only coffee, juice & water. No soda or even a flavored creamer to offer. They didn’t have room service. Their app said the service was suspended. Parking is over $50 per night. Beds weren’t comfortable for anyone other than my 5 year old who could sleep on pretty much anything. The pool was fine but small. The only real benefit was the location for most of the things around the wharf. I do not feel like it was worth what we paid.

The room was very small. There was only one entrance into the hotel. The line for breakfast was ridiculous and they wouldn’t let you take anything back to your room even though there was no where to sit. I would not recommend staying here.

This hotel charges by the number of people in the room. I paid for a family of 4 and when I arrived they said the reservation was under 2 adults, they charged me $300 for 2 kids. Breakfast included but we did not eat there all 3 days we stayed. I have never stayed in a hotel they charge for you to room with your kids, for what? There was no difference to them, just a way to squeeze more money out of you. The breakfast line in the morning is IN SANELY LONG. It's just not a normal dining experience for us to wait to grab a continental breakfast. Also this hotel has ZERO, absolutely ZERO sound proofing. I've lived in apartments with better privacy. You hear people walking above you, pulling drawers, talking everywhere. I would never stay here again. The only upside was the location to Fisherman's wharf.

This property was in a great location and walking distance to the Pier 39 and so much more. It was easy to get picked up at and dropped off with Uber. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. The few things that were difficult were 1- the breakfast buffet was amazing in terms of food choices and how much they serve. Totally incredible. BUT, the wait it forever. You stand in the line for hours. So while it’s great, you really can’t enjoy it. We ended up having to order breakfast from elsewhere the other 2 days and having it delivered. I would have loved to have just stayed in the hotel and enjoyed breakfast. 2- the hotel is very clean. BUT there are areas in the room that could easily be touched up. For example, the door in the bathroom has a whole huge section where paint is half off. Little things like that. It’s an easy fix and would make it more appealing. Otherwise the hotel was great and I still would stay there again despite the few negatives. The greats outweigh the negatives.

As soon as we walked in, I noticed pubes in the shower, I didn’t tell my partners she would’ve been revolted day one. As for the morning buffet, it’s OK for first day or second day afterwards you sick of it. It’s only the same thing day after day not only that it has to be the most noisy place in town. I guess it’s made for you not be comfortable but for you to move out as quick as possible If you’re planning to rent a vehicle and use their parking, forget it at $60 a day. As for soundproofing of bedrooms, my God we can hear everything that is said outside the door or whoever is above you know when they’re busy or not or they done a good job.

Long Lines - Rude
The condition of the hotel is lovely and in a good area. However, that is where it stops. Long lines everywhere. Check-in, Breakfast, I have never seen anything like this. You get yelled out for taking a cup of coffee into the hall to wait for a table. I feel like they think they are taking in the homeless for breakfast. RUDEL

This property was close to the wharf so easy to come back to for a few hours of relaxation before heading out again. Breakfast quality was more than I had expected and though the line looks deceiving long, it goes very quickly. The street noise was quite loud at night but a white noise app drowned it out.
