Wharf Inn made a very busy professional week easy, thanks to staff. Easy check in process, super clean room, and very good wi-fi for my early morning business Zoom calls. Just two blocks away is a Trader Joes and starbucks. And I was the only person to take a cable car to my conference downtown!

Staff was kind and courteous. Interior of rooms were not particularly nice, but were recently updated. However, we could clearly hear people walking the people in the room above us - to the point it was hard to sleep. Also, the exterior and stairwells were dingy. Great location though.
The room we were given had a faulty lock and we could not open it. We were given another room facing the street, which was less preferrable. There was construction ongoing in multiple neighboring rooms. The bathroom in the room had an open shower draining on the floor of the bathroom.
Great budget-friendly option for families visiting Fisherman’s Wharf and other destinations in San Francisco. Room and hotel staff exceeded all expectations. Parking was very safe and accessible throughout our entire trip.

They only had a blanket and would charge me with $20 per night for an additional comforter. The location near fisherman's wharf is great. Gated parking is also great, though they charged me $30 per night for parking through Expedia. Because the cost of parking is still competitive compared to the near parking lot.

The hotel was in older condition but felt secure, even tho in a high traffic tourist area. Location made up for everything - we walked to Fisherman’s Wharf, the sea lions and restaurants, Ferris wheel, and Boudin Bakery and cafe.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Limited parking spot. Cold room, heater not worked. Time limit for parking once over time direct deduct parking fee without notice.
no air conditioner and the room seemed to get stuffy not cold enough to need a heater but the fan above the bed wasn't enough. The shower curtain wasn't long enough so water splashed around the bathroom and even triple checking it was turned off the shower dripped all night. It made me understand Edger Allen Poe's "a tale tell heart." The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was an extremely convenient location. Only a 5 minute walk to the pier.

Courteous staff and clean room. The best part of this was its location, location &Location. Walking to beach, sites of Intrest ,pier and plenty of dining options.
Room was old paint chipping, drywall cracks, old furnishings and fixtures.
The location is prime and the price is reasonable but if you are very picky about certain things, for a few bucks more you can get a newer more modern room right across the street.
