Overall we had a great time in the area! We did the bus tour across the street, which worked out amazing for us to see the big sites since it was my first time there. Being across from the 7-11 though, very loud at all times of the night. The property could definitely use an uodate that isn't shown in the pictures, but I give it 3* for the overall experience we had there.

Get in and get out

Under construction. Absolutely no air conditioner in rooms. Only way up is through one elevator. If you get your room through this app they charge you double for parking. Parking was $30 addtionally. If you book through them directly, parking is $15. This place is decent if you only need it to sleep. Get in and get out.

Need to do better

Had an okay experience, not that good but also not extremely terrible. We had someone on our floor who was screaming bloody murder like they were being killed all the while they were throwing their pillows and and stuff from their room out of their room. We went downstairs to complain and there was nobody working there. We have 3 children and they were trying to sleep. My fiancée went down stairs to complain first and I waited a little bit before I went down stairs and it said they were on their 30 minute lunch break. They were def gone longer than 30 minutes and someone who was trying to check in was waited to check in the property and park in the gated parking lot. They waited for almost an hour as well to get helped. We finally received a call from the desk almost 2 hours later but we didn’t answer due to annoyance from the negligence. The room was also extremely stuffy and basically had to sleep with the door open all night for it to stay cool.

The first room we were put in didn’t have a proper lock so we were moved rooms. Everything was just overall rundown and very dirty. There were signs stating things were being renovated, but it all looks dirty and about to fall apart. Lipstick on a pig is what comes to mind. Location is the only reason to stay here, it’s close enough to walk to pier 39 but that’s about the only good thing here.

Floor was out of shape. Overall looked old and dirty. Staff was helpful to moved us to a different room which was a bit better.

Run down with broken elevator

First the TV remote did not work, the sensor was taped to the top of the TV and was clearly the problem, the front desk person was gone for two hours with a be back sign so I just went to bed, there was mold in the shower, no air conditioner just a sealing fan that made noise, the beds were mushy and hard on your back, When I checked in, I asked the lady for a bottom floor room, I told her I have a bad ankle and my daughter has a leg brace, your employee told me don't worry we have an elevator! So the elevator is broken on check out and we are on the 3rd floor, I carried my daughter down the stairs and now my back is hurting, this has ruined our trip.

We were very disappointed in the Warf Inn. The rooms were not well maintained. Getting a face cloth every day meant going down to ask for one. There was a very big gap in the door out to the balcony which let both outside noise and light into the room. Bed was not comfortable.
