Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf Hotel - A waterfront San Francisco hotel with heated outdoor pool, fitness center, and conference facilities

Located in the bustling Fisherman's Wharf district, this 4-star San Francisco hotel features 500+ rooms equipped with Sheraton's signature Sweet Sleeper Beds, Sealy Posturepedic mattresses, and hypoallergenic pillows. Each accommodation includes a mini-fridge, coffee machine, air conditioning, and separate sitting areas. The Northpoint Bar & Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, featuring craft cocktails, craft beers, and California wines. Recreational facilities include a heated outdoor pool with sun loungers, and a 24-hour fitness center equipped with seven cardio machines, free weights, stability balls, and jump ropes. Business travelers have access to conference rooms and complimentary WiFi throughout the property. The Sheraton's position places guests 0.5 miles from Pier 39, 0.5 miles from Ghirardelli Square and Lombard Street, and steps from the Powell-Mason cable car terminus. The property stands near the docks serving ferries to Alcatraz, Sausalito, and Tiburon.

Pros

Direct access to 14 waterfront restaurants and eateries with fresh seafood

Concierge service arranges wine tours and bay excursions

Landscaped courtyard with picnic tables and garden furniture

Walking distance to multiple San Francisco landmarks

Cons

Located in one of San Francisco's busiest tourist areas

1.5 miles from Alcatraz Island, requiring ferry transportation

“This hotel really hits the mark with its prime location, placing you steps away from Fisherman's Wharf attractions and convenient public transport; the included breakfast buffet is a definite plus, setting you up well for a day of exploring. While rooms are comfortable, bathrooms can feel a bit snug, but overall, a solid choice for experiencing San Francisco.”

an okay stay, nothing special

easy locationsmall bathroompoor sound insulation
the location was acceptable, being close to the wharf made things easy.
The room felt small, the bathroom especially. It barely accommodated one person, let alone two, what a joke! the noise was also a problem, i could hear everything from the hallway and the room above, there was zero sound insulation, so sleep was a challenge.

the breakfast was chaotic. i had to queue for ages, and the buffet was pretty basic. the eggs tasted rubbery and the bakery items seemed stale. i'd have appreciated some freshly made options.

great varietyhard-working staffconvenient walkon-site parking
The breakfast had GREAT variety. I found many options. The staff at breakfast worked hard keeping food fresh. They managed the high volume of guests. The hotel's proximity to the piers allowed convenient walks to many attractions. On-site parking provided additional ease for my visit.
Hallway noise was sometimes audible, but it was a very minor issue.
