Hotel Zephyr

San Francisco, California

Star rating

The hotel

After a multi million dollar renovation, the Zephyr has been transformed into a modern, quirky hotel with a nautical theme and laidback vibe. In the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf, you can walk to PIER 39 and Ghirardelli Square (did someone say chocolate?) or jump on a cable car to explore further. Hidden at the back of the hotel is Socialite, a casual restaurant with a sociable atmosphere. There are lots of dining options close by too — grab a clam chowder bread bowl or head to Chinatown for delicious dim sum. When you're done sightseeing for the day, your hotel room offers a welcome oasis from a city that seemingly never sleeps!

The location was nice. It was touristy but that is okay for a first visit to the city. Elevators broke, that wasn’t great.

On first impressions it seemed good but on closer inspection was not very clean. Was stains on lamp and blind. The bathroom was even worse. It was tired and run down. The staff apart from the woman that checked me in were not up to scratch regarding customer service. It did put a dampener on my trip. Was glad was only there 3 nights.

Prince provided us excellent customer service! We will definitely be back. He was very welcoming and friendly. He went above and beyond. He deserves a raise!

Literally everything about our stay at this hotel was perfect! We traveled with kids and they loved it. Location, staff, facilities, amenities, and comfort all top notch for the price!

The hotel charged me $60USD for early check in because I arrived and wasn’t able to check in before 4pm ARE YOU KIDDING! There was people’s old socks left in the room from a previous stay and the walls are so thin you can hear everything and I love getting woken up to people running upstairs.
