Easy location to access the Embarcadero and waterfront

Erin United States of America

The location was fantastic! We ate breakfast at the Ferry Building every morning and it was extremely convenient to BART. The Exploratorium is also a short walk away. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We booked an Executive Suite and the size was comfortable for myself, my partner, and my 12-year old. The rooftop deck looked great but we weren't really able to take advantage of it due to cold, rainy weather throughout our stay. I've noticed that the prices at this place seem to fluctuate wildly, but we got what I thought was a really great deal for the room quality.

Jennifer United States of America

It was quiet and in a great location. Staff was very welcoming.

Patricia United States of America

Nice reasonably priced location if you don't mind walking or other forms of transportation. Spectacular view of the Bay Bridge if you book the right room. Convenient to the Ferry Building Marketplace where we enjoyed breakfast each morning at Acme Bread and Blue Bottle Coffee. Enjoyed dinner at Griffon's own restaurant Perry's far better than the well known restaurant we ate at Fisherman's Wharf.

Nicole United States of America

The room had character and was well appointed, clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Sally United States of America

Beautiful view out to the Bay Bridge. The room was small but cozy and clean, and the bed was amazingly comfortable. The heat lamp in the bathroom was very much appreciated. Shower pressure was great. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Alanna United States of America

Easy location for getting around the city; staff is friendly and helpful. we’ve stayed here many times and keep returning!

Lynn United States of America

The view! we had a 5th floor suite and the view was just to die for. Also the heater in the bathroom that made it oh-so-lovely getting out of the shower to a super warm bathroom and cozy towels was delightful.

Christena United States of America

The bed was very comfy & cozy! Very centrally located to the Embarcadero & transportation!

Ginny United States of America

Great location, comfortable bed, and appreciate the filtered water bottle fill stations
