I like that it’s walking distance to Pier 39 and the surrounding area. I have stayed here many times in the past but the hotel has gone downhill. The room needs cleaning. There was mold in the shower which needed cleaning. The ceiling fan to keep us cool was super loud and clanging. They now charge for parking as well.

Not what is in the photos!

Just a heads up. IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE PHOTOS IN APP. The location was the only good thing. Know they will charge you double for saving money using a 3rd party. Parking is TIGHT. You might want to spend a little more and get MUCH NICER. I learned my lesson. The towels are like sand paper, broken curtains, etc.

Rude help and smelly rooms

Our rooms were not ready at check in! We asked for an another room and answer was no. So upon going into our rooms (3) we were disappointed of the conditions the rooms smelt old and smelled of mold! The pictures on Hotel.com are not accurate at all . Showers were disgusting which is probably why there are no pictures online and there is NO AC the ceiling fans are very shaky and look dangerous right above the bed . They only have fans and the “lamp” by the bed literally shocked my husband when he tried to get it to work . Only thing convenient about this place is the location .

Can he better for the price

This is a simple bed and bath hotel room, good enough to stay for a night and leave. If you are OK with huge roadside noise, beds and sheets that are 20 years old, paper thin walls that can help you hear conversation from next room, bathroom with showers that leaks all time, homeless guys sleeping right outside the hotel building, but you want to stay right in the heart of Fisherman's Warf then this is a good hotel!

Some great, some not so great

Good: Very close to Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. Short walk to Ghirardelli square. Lower price than expected considering the location. Friendly staff. Nice beds, fridge. Bad: Old building with numerous cosmetic flaws. Rooms are dated. Glass slat window missing a pane of glass. Room had a weird smell. Turned on the heater fan to help- it had another weird smell. Overall- really good price, great location fairly comfortable. Was a fine stay for me alone. My wife would have hated it!
