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.”

7.0/10
I enjoyed my stay, but it could have been better without the late-night confusion regarding my payment. The hotel is in a great location near Fisherman's Wharf, and I appreciated the clean and comfortable setup. However, the parking fees are quite steep, so factor that in if you're driving. Overall, it was a decent experience, but not without its issues.
