Wharf Inn was the perfect spot for our San Francisco adventure! The location was ideal - steps away from Pier 39, delicious food, and those iconic cable cars. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Loved waking up to the sounds of the sea lions and the bustling wharf. Highly recommend.

Coffee was good in the lobby/ but don’t call it breakfast. Woman at front desk not friendly. More concerned with talking to her friend on the phone both during pm check in and breakfast time. It met my needs. Chain hotel fod $40 more may have been nicer.

Pleasant, relaxing, comfortable. Good location. Forget breakfast. It's just coffee and snacks. What the....eco-friendly??? Don't know what that is or care so disregard that rating. North Bay Inn was a good choice, glad to stay there.
