The location of The Wharf Inn was wonderful. We were able to walk around Fisherman’s Wharf and it was so conveniently located. The staff was also very friendly! The beds weren’t comfortable, the pillows were worn out and didn’t give much support, the shower temperature was only luke warm and fluctuated during the shower, and there was no bathtub (shower stall only).

The Wharf Inn is an older property with very little amenities. The front desk staff was very friendly and made the check in process easy. Parking is tight but we didn't use our vehicle during our four night stay so it wasn't an issue for us. Our room was perfect for our family of 5 - it had two king beds, a small table with two chairs, mini fridge and a coffee maker. The location is perfect - a short walk to the pier and within walking distance to Chinatown and Japantown.

The location was excellent! Right at fisherman's warf, and walking distance to so many things. Unfortunately, the place is really outdated and in poor condition. The shower wouldn't drain and started backing up as soon as the water was run, there was a huge reddish stain on the curtain, the bedding had a stain and mostly everything just needed to be updated/renovated. It was not super clean. The place has such potential, but i would not stay there again as is.

The property is not as pictured. The rooms look nothing like the photos. I was afraid while there that someone might break in our room. There was no room with a balcony, it's a walk way that everyone can walk on. No ac, very loud, the parking lot was being torn up. We asked about the difference in the room as compared to what is advertised and they really had no answer for us other than to blame Expedia. I would never stay here again and did not feel like we got what we paid for.
