This trip was from North Carolina for a week with my grandson for his graduation. The room was spacious, very clean, private, and nicely appointed. The staff was excellent and shared great hints on making the trip more efficient and memorable. Hotel rented ebikes to guests which I thought was a perk. Everything within walking distance and a bus tour parked right outside the hotel.

Location is right on the waterfront and Fisherman's wharf. Super easy to drive in and out of, and we were able to visit all the places we wanted to visit either by walking or driving. Building itself is a little beat up (Kind of a 50s-70s resort hotel style with the hallways on the outside), but the rooms are renovated and were decent. Parking onsite, but parking is not free.

Good verses upgrading

The location to Fisherman’s Wharf is excellent. Staff was friendly and helpful. The Inn was under renovations, too much of the old was poor. Some outlets did not function, but there was also a problem with the toilets. We were in two different rooms and neither toilet functioned properly. As they complete the upgrade we would recommend it for location, great security, good internet, comfy beds and good caring staff.

Great location and budget rate

Great location. Walk to everything! The inn is very dated but generally clean. The room was fine especially for the price. There is no AC so really need to keep windows open. It’s a bit noisy. The lights outside the room shine into the room and curtains do not fully cover so lots of light on both ends and the center.

Great location, but extra fees take away from the experience The Wharf Inn has an amazing location — just steps from Fisherman’s Wharf, with easy access to the pier, restaurants, and shops. Check-in was quick and the staff was friendly, which made things easy after a long drive. The downside is that the hotel itself feels a bit dated and can get noisy at night. The walls are thin, so you can hear sounds from the street and other guests. What was most disappointing was the $30 per night parking fee. Since I was already staying at the hotel, it felt like something that should be included, not an extra charge. Overall, it’s an okay place if location is your main priority, but the added fees and noise make it less of a good value.

The property owner is a wonderful person. The location is impeccable. The downside was that I was surrounded by very noisy people. The rooms have no air conditioning, which were only needed during the day. The windows were small, so it was hard to get any circulation. The bed can best be described as a very plush mattress cover wrapped around concrete. They were very hard to sleep on. The wharf is not what it used to be and the property of the Inn was in good condition, had obvious improvements needed. For the price, it was a good stay. I do wish that I would have spent a little more for a more comfortable and quiet location, but I did really enjoy my stay otherwise.
