We loved our stay at Marriott Vacation Club in San Francisco. It had a warm, homey feel that made us instantly comfortable. The location is perfect. It is central and easily accessible to Pier 39 and most attractions in SF.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the little touches, like the complimentary beverages and light refreshments in the lobby. The morning snacks were especially thoughtful before we headed out for the day.
Our room was great, beautifully designed with what I think is an industrial-chic style. It felt modern yet cozy. The only minor downside was the shower. While we usually like strong water pressure, this one came out a little too sharp, felt almost painful on the skin at times.
One standout amenity was the free self-service laundry area, complete with detergent and dryer sheets. It was incredibly convenient and much appreciated.
It was an excellent stay and we will definitely return on our next visit to San Francisco.

Our room was fine. everything as it should be. We had, over the course of our stay, rather a lot of small needs-- ALL met quickly, cheerfully, promptly. Really outstanding service. The beds were fine, the bathroom was fine. Hot water for tea was readily available 24 hours a day in the lobby. Great advice from several concierges. FABULOUS location-- close to several bus lines, a cable car line, and Fisherman's Wharf (we were doing The Tourist Thing. Trader Joe's and a Walgreen's very near. I'd be tempted NOT to write a great review so fewer people would know how great this place is, but... can't be greedy. Kudos to all the staff-- that's downstairs we well as the people who took care of us upstairs on a daily basis-- for exceptional work. Cannot stress how happy and comfortable we were while there. Absolute top marks.

Good location

The hotel is in a good location and we were able to walk to Fisherman's Wharf. The room was very nice. You pay for valet parking (only other option is you find your own street parking). The only complaint is the continental breakfast was bite-sized muffins and one kind of cookie.
Great location, friendly staff, great room, good value for money

Generously sized room offering ample space to relax and move around comfortably. The bed was comfortable. There were great amenities in the hotel such as a coffee machine in the room with biscuits etc., boiling water upon request and multiple water refilling stations throughout the hotel. It was in a great location being in walkable distance to Fisherman's Wharf. There is also a tourist station as you walk into the hotel to the left and they're able to give out great advice. Great value for money.
