Couldn't be much closer to the wharf without being in the water. Two blocks or so to ghardells square, the cable cars, ferry to alcatraz, starting point for city tours and wine country tours, and great restaurants. Room was large, new, and quiet.

The room was large, clean and comfortable. Excellent location to everything. All 3 public transportation lines were within 1/2 block of hotel. Area felt safe. One block from fishermans warf. Tip: use back of building exit, it will save you steps. I would stay here again.

The location of the facility was within walking distance of the wharf and easy public transit to the rest of San Francisco.

This hotel is great. BUT -- I called the front desk and point blank asked if there was a bay view and I was told there was. When I checked in I was told there was no view - our view was the back alley. Stay at the Holiday Inn Express on the next block for $50 dollars a night less. I also called the Express and they told me they did not have a bay view so we paid the extra $200 (4 nights) for this hotel (view). At least at the Express you can get coffee in the morning with out having to make it yourself in your room or pay for it in the lobby.

We were traveling with our two young children, and just picked this hotel because we saw it while walking along Fisherman's Wharf. When we asked if there was a room with a view, we were told there might be, but the reservationist couldn't guarantee it. We ended up looking at the back alley and into an adjacent office building window. My kids didn't care because they were too fascinated with the Mario games they could play on the tv in the room. The beds were too soft, but the room was clean. We must have been near the trash area because around 11:00 pm I heard what sounded like the trash trucks picking up the dumpsters, or just a lot of trucks. We had the breakfast buffet there both days, which was excellent. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive to the kids. The location is good for walking to Pier 39, The Ghiradelli restaurant area, and all the shops along Fisherman's Wharf. On the morning of 4/3, I asked the concierge downstairs in the lobby area if San Francisco had any type of natural history musuem, specifically with dinosaur bones, fossils and the like, and the only thing he could direct me to was the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. When we got there we were disappointed to see the museum was undergoing remodeling, with a huge sign that said "Reopening Sept. 2008". We also tried to visit the Nautical Ship Museum down by Ghiradelli Square (also recommended by the same concierge as a good place to take kids), but it too was undergoing remodeling. Needless to say, that particular concierge on the morning of 4/3 was not up to date on his city. All in all, an ok place to stay.
