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.

The stay was safe clean and quiet. Overall it was nice. The breakfast was typical coffee, some form of bagels and bars.

2/10 Poor

Wouldn't check me in; lost my 4
I did not have my drivers license - had a passport and had my license downloaded from CA DMV. Would not let me stay, would not refund me. Terrible experience and I lost $100+ for the pleasure.

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.

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.

Hotel was adequate for the price, but it’s right near the highway and very loud. Beds weren’t very comfortable.

Motel style accommodation. Good price and great location near major roads. I’ve stayed here quite a few times for work and it’s always been clean which is a must. Cannot fault it. Staff also welcoming.
