I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms, though they could use some extra cleaning and maintenance. The staff was very welcoming and always made sure we were enjoying our time. The location was perfect for exploring the local attractions, but the presence of a noisy street performer was a downside. The dining options were average at best. Overall, it was a decent choice for the price paid.

The hotel is at the heart of Fisherman's Wharf, offering a great location close to the wharf, restaurants, and shops, making it perfect for exploring the area. While the rooms are a massive hit with their cozy fire pits and s'mores, they are not soundproof, so noise from outside could be an issue on certain nights.

Initially, I had concerns about the cleanliness of the rooms upon check-in, especially missing the expected fridge and the view of a car park; however, the rooms turned out to be very clean, comfortable, and surprisingly affordable compared to downtown options.

My stay at the hotel was pretty average. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, but it felt more like a spruced-up motel room. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were some areas that lacked assistance. The location was close to some tourist attractions but might not be my first choice next time. The dining options were limited, but there was a nearby pancake place. The facilities were basic with nothing outstanding.

Upon arriving, the hotel seemed to be in need of some maintenance, but the rooms, though not top-notch, are decently sized and comfortable, especially considering you won't spend much time in them as a tourist. Having booked a room with an ocean view and a Queen-size bed, it was a good experience overall. The service provided was a mix, with unprofessionalism on one hand and incredibly helpful and friendly staff on the other. The location worked well for exploring key sites and utilizing public transport. Dining options were somewhat limited and facilities could use a bit of improvement.

The hotel location is perfect for tourists as it's close to transportation options, but the noise from nearby trams and street traffic can be bothersome at night. The rooms are not soundproof and felt cramped, making it a challenge to store belongings. The service was mixed with some staff being unfriendly, although housekeeping was pleasant. The dining options were limited, particularly in the early morning. The location overall is convenient for visiting San Francisco attractions but may not suit business travelers. The outdoor area with fire pits and a pool table adds a nice touch to the facilities.
