Is not the best looking property but if you are looking for something close to the wharf and adjacent areas you can’t get anything more convenient. Sad that the property is not in a better condition because it is in a really good location

Perfect location. Although the property looks a bit dated, it is clean and comfortable. The location couldn’t be better for Fishermans Wharf. Note that parking is chargeable, but at $20 a day it’s reasonable.

WE LOVED STAYING AT THE WHARF INN!

We LOVED staying at the Wharf Inn. I'm picky about cleanliness and sometimes that doesn't go with affordable sometimes, but the Wharf Inn was clean, comfortable, serene, private, and surprisingly spacious! The bed was super comfy (though I wish a quilt was available!), it had a fridge, Keurig coffee maker, items were replaced like magic. We had a private balcony with view of the pier/water, which was very nice. The staff was super helpful and friendly, and left us alone, giving us privacy, yet attentive to our needs. We will definitely stay at the Wharf Inn again. It was affordable, comfortable, and clean. I gave it 3 stars for eco friendly as there could have been a recycling bin in the room. Also, it said the room came with microwave, but there wasn't one, but we didn't end up needing one, and probably would have gotten one if we had asked. The fridge was a nice size (bigger than those dorm room ones) in a retro 1950s style. The shower had a great spray nozzle and all amenities were provided, and within walking distance to pier 39 and the shops and other places as well. LOVED it here!
