    The cost if everything is very high. Also, no parking and valet is $85/day.

    Staff was great to deal with. Hotel was very nice and the beds and pillows were very comfortable.

    Nice stay by the water.

    The area is just east is very touristy and the parking is very expensive. They charge you $10 on top of the going rate of $75 per night. There is 2 hour meter parking in the area and overnight is free sometimes, but watchout for special instructions such as "street cleaning." We found a car handy in San Fran and parking was doable if you're willing to look. Lots of free daytime parking by the beaches.

    Liked the location, on the wharf and in a historic building. The hotel was close to restaurants and within walking distance of Chinatown and Coit Tower. We liked the partial bay view from the room and were glad we upgraded from "courtyard" which is not really. We did not take advantage of the onsite restaurant or bar.

    Overall very pleasant and comfortable with great breakfast in an atmospheric bar/restaurant.

    The bathrooms are slightly dated and the toiletries are average. No slippers or robes or water provided in the room. For a relatively expensive hotel I would expect a little more. The hotel is located at the start of Fisherman’s Wharf and we also chose it for that reason …not realising that Fisherman’s Wharf is in fact a disappointing and tacky tourist trap. If returning to SF I think I would stay on Union Street (not Square) where there appear to be a good choice of nice cool cafes /shops and restaurants.

    Really comfy beds and the nautical themed decor is a little bit different. Breakfast options were delicious and the bar food was also good. Staff are very pleasant and location is convenient to the historic cable car/tram and ferries.

    The bed was WAY too hard. $75 bucks for parking each day is a little to much. I did not like the destination charges as well. 400 bucks a night (when you add everything up) is pricey.

    The location was great. We were able to walk to most destinations without using the car. The staff was excellent!

    Many rooms have an internal view of an unattractive, modern courtyard, completely out of character with the rest of the building. See photo. This is not shown of mentioned in the description.

    Very good quality hotel in a historic building. Breakfast great and staff are very helpful.
