Overall, I had a good experience. The hotel is conveniently placed near by public transportation, additionally the wharf is really nice. However, on our first night, we noticed that the shower wasn’t draining. We contacted staff and that was promptly fixed. I wished that the photos reflected that there’s no natural light in the room (there is one window but it’s to the hallway, hence no sunlight). It was obviously not a deal-breaker, just unexpected because the pictures when booking the stay all had windows with natural sunlight. Again, it was a decent stay overall.

I booked this hotel for my birthday weekend with my boyfriend, it was our first time reserving a hotel on our own (we’re 19 & 20) so I was a little worried it would be challenging to check in without my parents guidance but it wasn’t! The staff at the front desk were so friendly and the process was straight forward. As for the location it was in such a good area, everything is gated, so you need a key card to access anything in the hotel which made us feel safe. Parking was easy aswell but a little more expensive than we thought. Super close to the wharf, everything is walkable and safe. Very convenient that there’s a 7/11 right next door aswell as many affordable resteraunts. Ghirardelli square is a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Lastly, my only criticism, the walls are extremely thin. You can hear footsteps from the people in the room above, aswell as every car that drives by. It made it super hard o fall asleep, so if u stay here bring noise canceling headphones.

This hotel is very close (only 2 blocks away) to Pier 39 and walkable to many of the spots to see in SF. The rooms with balconies are nice bc they all have a nice view of the ocean. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and there are options to pay a fee for early check in or late check out. Highly recommend you give this spot a shot! Enjoy! Jonathan

Will never stay or recommend this hotel. So many issues … main issue was bathroom. Toilet barely flushes and when u run the shower the tap continues to run. Fills tub before ur finished showering. No heat .. boiler has major issues. The property is old and run down. Very noisy and lots of homeless people in the streets. Over priced for what u get.

No air conditioning. Something I did not notice while booking so perhaps my bad but this isnt camping. If you're renting a room in 2024 there should be ac in my opinion. There was also construction below our room all day. Im not sure why they didnt put us on the other side, they did not look booked
