“Great for first timers!”

Oct 19, 2026AammyyMM

This hotel has a fabulous location for those that are new to SF. At 50 something years old, I underestimated the insane inclines of the streets. Being near the wharf saved me time, money, and aches & pains when I wanted to grab a snack or just take a leisurely stroll. There are a couple of fast-food spots near the hotel, at least 1 coffee spot, a Walgreens, and unlimited mid to higher priced dining spots along with endless shopping. The front desk was ALWAYS present and welcoming. The rooms were functional & comfortable. Towels were switched out daily & they tidied the room. The hotel has a vintage eclectic vibe & had a wonderful lobby for gathering with family/friends along with an easily accessible restroom around the corner. We did not bring a vehicle, but I passed thru the garage a couple of times & it was secure. The floors in the garage were even sparkling clean! Daily coffee & juice provided in the morning, wine & beer provided at Happy Hour. There were 2 choices of flavored water available all day long (melon flavor was my fav), which was really nice - so bring a water bottle & fill it up before you head out for the day. I chose this hotel based on price & proximity to the wharf and am happy with my decision.

“Just fine”

Oct 14, 2026Christine M

The room itself was spacious but smelled strongly of commercial air freshener, and a little shabby, worn out around the edges––for example a wall repair had been made in the bathroom but not painted over so there was visible spackle; the baseboards were skuffed up, little details like that made it feel less nice. The air conditioner was a loud under window unit I have only seen in old motels. And yes, we could see the bay from our room, but we were mostly looking out at a parking lot. The restaurant was supposedly very good, but we never ate there because the atmosphere was giving hotel restaurant. They don't offer room service which is a bummer. The location was convenient to seeing all the touristy sites around the marina and felt fairly safe to walk around but overall I would not choose this hotel again, as it wasn't exactly cheap.

“Mirror fell onto occupied bed; no follow-up”

Oct 06, 2026Mike W

A large wall-mounted mirror detached in the middle of the night and crashed onto the bed where my wife was sleeping. We initially thought the noise was an earthquake. Thankfully she wasn’t injured, but we were extremely shaken and lost the rest of our night’s sleep. The GM promised an investigation but never provided an update despite follow-ups. IHG Guest Relations opened a case and promised a response, but we have heard nothing further. We liked the hotel otherwise, but its handling of this serious safety incident was unacceptable.
