Convenience to the Pier without the traffic was perfect. Loved the fire pits outside. Rooms are a bit outdated, not the most comfortable beds, and bathroom is small. Overall I would stay at this hotel again.

Everything was great except very noisy outside our room. I think we were near where they received deliveries - heard trucks at 4am - we would of switched rooms but didn't have time to - we were out and about all day and didn't want to waste time trying to deal with this.

Hotel was OLD and the popcorn ceilings and the dank corridors were awful. The entry door to our room had no weatherstripping and light shined through it from the corridor at all night long. The soundproofing is horrible! Every door that opened in the corridor felt like it was slamming right next door. I honestly think that the footsteps above us was dropping popcorn ceilings material onto all the surfaces of our room.

We were given a handicap accessible room without being asked … that could’ve been used for someone who needs it .plus water runs from the shower onto the bathroom area due to the access . I didn’t complain since it was a one night stay but that needs to be used for those in need / upon request . Parking is $63 I believe and front desk informed us not to leave anything in the car ( that was in the garage ) while we waited for the room to be ready … I appreciated the honesty

Great location but noisy and needing updating

Great location and close to many key attractions like Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39 and Alcatraz. Hotel is looking a little bit dated now and the room we were in (4601) was incredibly noisy, given poor sound proofing and being adjacent to a crossroads, tram line and bus station. Ear plugs were essential for half decent nights sleep.
