I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms are beautiful and spacious, featuring large TVs, snacks, and very comfortable beds. The location is excellent, right across the street from stunning ocean views and within walking distance to many attractions. The service was top-notch, with friendly and accommodating staff. However, the dining options were a bit overpriced for what was offered.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The nautical theme throughout the hotel was charming, and my room had everything I needed, although I wished there were more visible sockets. The comfortable beds and special touches really made my stay memorable, but the small window and pricey mini bar items were a bit of a letdown.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great views and some downsides. The room, though smaller than expected with everything labeled, provided fantastic views of Alcatraz and the wharf area and was surprisingly quiet. The service was helpful, but at times seemed more focused on internal chats. The location was ideal for exploring the city and enjoying the waterfront, though dining felt overpriced. Despite this, I would recommend this hotel to all visitors.

Staying at the hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The rooms were clean, beautifully presented, and a welcome retreat after a day of sightseeing, offering views of the Hyde Street Pier, Alcatraz, and street scenes.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious with a lovely nautical design, just like the website showed. We had a third-floor room with stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The beds were huge and comfy, and the little toy seals added a cute touch. However, more visible sockets would have been convenient, as we had to make do with the ones near the bedside table.

The hotel is situated on the edge of Fisherman's Wharf, offering a perfect location just steps away from the cable cars, Pier 39, and with stunning views of the Golden Gate and Alcatraz. Despite some noise due to being above a bar, the rooms are spacious and comfortable with quirky decor. The additional nightly charge for amenities raises the overall cost significantly, but the staff is generally friendly and helpful.
