Easy, clean experience and accessible

My family and I was there for a day to experience the 4th of July fireworks celebration held on the bay. Stay there allowed to walk to the event. Great customer service. Easy checking in close to places to eat and have a quick late night drink. Secured parking..

Great Room, Staff, and Location

Great staff. Fantastic free parking. Clean room. Just a few short blocks to Fishermans Wharf and Ghirardelli square. Right by all of the public transporation like the bus and the cable car. If we were going somewhere else besides on those routes, everything was just a ahort Waymo or Uber away. Only one very small thing was our room didn't have a mini fridge.

We went to Bimbos for a concert so chose this for the location. Its basic. Decent for the price. Probably could use a renovation. The plus is the parking and the minus is the overall condition. The price was right for this minus so it equals out.

We were skeptical, but this is such a great hotel! The friendliest staff, room was great, free parking, near so many activities. The checkin clerk ran out to us at our car to change our room to a better one, because he had had a cancellation.
