The only good thing is the location. (Walking distance to fisherman’s wharf). When we got to the room, it doesn’t look like advertisement. We don’t mind vintage, but it was beyond vintage. Old wallpaper, and rough all around. Then…it was so noisy at night. There is some homeless that stay around there. One guy talked and yelled all night (to himself ), keeping us up. When we first arrived, I immediately started looking for another place to go. Unfortunately nothing available or if there was something it was way out of our price range. Since we’d probably still have to pay for the room at The Wharf. I wouldn’t stay there nor would I recommend to anyone.

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 .
