Quote: Becoming more and more of a hotel critic over the past few years, I will have to say that my stay at the Hyatt at Fisherman's Wharf is by far one of the best.

The exterior of the Hyatt resembles an old brick building that has been restored and updated beautifully and is located conveniently close to Fisherman's Wharf, fun stores, food and the streetcar turnaround which can take you just about anywhere from there. If you are bringing your own car, ask about the mall parking garage. It's way cheaper then the hotel or valet parking and with the same priviledges. It's located a block and a half away too!

The interior of the hotel has been completely recently renovated and embodies a neutral contemporary style with a slightly modern twist. All rooms are decorated in neutral browns, blues and whites with spacious tiled bathrooms complete with walk-in showers (there are no bathtubs in this hotel...but that didn't bother us). The rooms also boast large flat panel TVs that can also be used for wi-fi connections at an extra charge. We booked a slightly upgraded room with a larger layout and bathroom, it was a corner unit with amazing views of the Coit Tower and the rail car turnaround.

The ammenities at the hotel are good, but leave room for improvement. The outdoor pool and hottub are small and confined to an area surrounded by the hotel itself. It is a nice area, but I've seen better. The remodeled fitness room is very nice with TV tuned treadmills, free weights, water bar and extra towels for after the workout...very impressive. The lobby is extremely nice, but not really a comfortable place to hangout, there is little furniture and it looks more like a showcase rather than a lobby. A small concierge desk area and computer room connect to the lobby for checking out extra activities throughout San Francisco. There is also a Sports Bar connected to the hotel as well which looks like a nice place to go if one doesn't want to go very far to eat (we did not eat there).

Other than the ammenities, this hotel is extremely nice. Great customer service, excellent location, amazing rooms, nice views and all for a good price.
