Loved this hotel! We arrived a bit early but they were able to offer us an early checkin. The room itself was wonderful… spacious, comfortable, clean, and modern. The breakfast was amazing . Don’t let the line at breakfast fool you - it moves quickly. We were dubious about the pool (thought it would be too cool to use) but we found a nice spot in the sun and enjoyed the downtime. Totally walkable to many highlights and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Good location as walkable to trams, waterfront, pier 39 (if you are visiting Alcatraz). Quite noisy at early hours in the morning (outside noise due to bin collection and busses reversing). Lovely and helpful staff! Super comfy beds! Good breakfast. Just be careful as parking is super expensive $60 per night.

Comfortable stay and great location
Very comfortable and well located hotel. Rooms clean and well equipped. There is a queue for breakfast but otherwise is well organised and a good range. Just need to allow 10-15 mins extra time. Bar prices reasonable and nice ambience to lobby areas. Parking very expensive at 60 dollars a night but most hotels similar. Cheaper parking at north point centre opposite.

Birthday celebration
The location of the property was excellent. It was easy to check in and park. The environment was very elegant, relaxed and the buffet was excellent. My only negative was the room. The bathroom was small with no fans. Very tight for three people. I paid for three adults but only had towels for two people.

It wasn’t great
This is honestly a very middle of the road hotel so the price is not worth it. They do have a full breakfast but it’s crazy in there & they don’t let you take food back to your room! powdered eggs & overcooked/warmed under heat lamps type. Only coffee, juice & water. No soda or even a flavored creamer to offer. They didn’t have room service. Their app said the service was suspended. Parking is over $50 per night. Beds weren’t comfortable for anyone other than my 5 year old who could sleep on pretty much anything. The pool was fine but small. The only real benefit was the location for most of the things around the wharf. I do not feel like it was worth what we paid.

The room was very small. There was only one entrance into the hotel. The line for breakfast was ridiculous and they wouldn’t let you take anything back to your room even though there was no where to sit. I would not recommend staying here.

This hotel charges by the number of people in the room. I paid for a family of 4 and when I arrived they said the reservation was under 2 adults, they charged me $300 for 2 kids. Breakfast included but we did not eat there all 3 days we stayed. I have never stayed in a hotel they charge for you to room with your kids, for what? There was no difference to them, just a way to squeeze more money out of you. The breakfast line in the morning is IN SANELY LONG. It's just not a normal dining experience for us to wait to grab a continental breakfast. Also this hotel has ZERO, absolutely ZERO sound proofing. I've lived in apartments with better privacy. You hear people walking above you, pulling drawers, talking everywhere. I would never stay here again. The only upside was the location to Fisherman's wharf.
