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. Read less

Fantastic stay, rooms were spacious and clean. Staff was very polite and helpful. Good location close to the harbor. The area can be a little bit loud at times however the hotel provided earplugs and eye mask. Complimentary coffee offered daily.

I would highly recommend this hotel if coming to San Francisco. Most of the hotels in the area are old and tired, but this place is modern and has a nice industrial vibe. When we checked in the staff was so kind and treated us so well. Room is spacious for a city room, the bathroom is on the small side and i really hate barn doors on bathrooms.… Read more
I would highly recommend this hotel if coming to San Francisco. Most of the hotels in the area are old and tired, but this place is modern and has a nice industrial vibe. When we checked in the staff was so kind and treated us so well. Room is spacious for a city room, the bathroom is on the small side and i really hate barn doors on bathrooms. Room was clean and modern. Hotel has a super nice courtyard and lobby area for relaxing & a 24 hours gym. The location can't be beat....5 minute walk to Fishermans Wharf, 10 Min to Alcatraz, 2 minute walk to cable car turn and so many restaurants. The location is 10/10. If I am ever back in SFO this is my go to hotel. Read less

This was a very nice hotel, didn't have a problem with traffic noise, but they provided ear plugs and a sleep mask. The staff was friendly and professional. They hotel was clean and safe, and close to everything. Loved that they provided both walking tours and tasting experiences at the hotel.

If you enjoy waking up and having your coffee to the sound of leaf blowers and/or power washers EVERY SINGLE MORNING, whether needed or not, you will love Marriott Vacation Club properties. Their money would be much better spent staffing the front desks 24/7.
