Location is great. A few steps to Fisherman Wharf. Our rooms were clean. The property has parking and it’s currently being renovated. Our side didn’t had the insulation so it was a bit cold. The front staff was very welcoming and kind.

We were 30min earlier than the check in time , and they said the room is ready and they can check us in, then I said sure. And then they want to charge $25 for early check in fee, what a heck is that?
There is a way to say “ if you like to check in earlier for $25 additional, or wait till 3pm to check in ?” Why so rack of words ?

Worst place ever stayed at, the place was moldy, need maintenance, looks nothing like the pictures, staff is not helpful. Asked 48 hours before last day of reservation to get one day refund. They gave us the run around telling us we don’t have permission todo anything we will tell our boss. No chance of giving us upgrade and too scared to let maid service come in due to uncleanliness from the dirt we cleaned up when we came in. Bed was bad, back hurt. Allergies were definitely flaring up.

For a property that is in amazing spot right in the heart of fisherman wharf. I parked my car to checked in at a very nice reception area she assigned me a parking spot which I could not find because there was no numbering either on the floor or wall. I I found the elevator. I was a little afraid to get into it to tell you the truth was old and small. I found my room walking down a dingy hallway the floor look like it had old carpet that was ripped up because there were still the tape marks all the way down the hall. I got into my room. It was small with a corner. I tried to close the curtains as it looked out onto the pathway and they didn’t close all the way the bed had to have been 4 feet off the ground and I’m 5 feet so it was very hard to get in and out of the bed. The bathroom, where do I start? The shower door did not close. The floor was coming up the border along the wall was coming off the wall and the bins that they had the towels in was coming off the wall. I have to say that it wasn’t dirty in sense of there was trash and stuff. It just felt dirty and like I said it’s a shame. They need to really close it down and upgrade the whole thing and get it together because it could be a beautiful property and the central location is amazing.

The Wharf Inn was a great location close to the pier which had a variety of activities. It was within walking distance to the beach and transportation as well. The property itself could use some upgrades as it was a little run down but the staff were all kind and accommodating. I can overlook the condition of the property and would still stay here as when I am on vacation I just need a place to rest and spend most time outside of the room.

I liked the fact that their parking is gated and secure, but didn't like having to pay extra for that.
I gave it 3 stars for the condition of the place only because it was under construction when we were there. When it's done I know it will be great. I'm looking for to seeing how they improve it. I definitely plan on staying there in the future.

Location is the best attribute of the hotel. I will say it is clean. The wallpaper is peeling, the wall trim is in shambles, and it is just not well kept up. There is no air conditioning bit there was a ceiling fan as well as a portable fan in the room. Street noise was terrible in the early morning but we were in a street facing room.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. They stored our luggage for us before check in at no charge.
If you are picky about hotels, skip this one. If you're looking for a place for a couple nights with convenient location, and decent price- this one works.

The Wharf Inn was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, the energy of being right in the middle of the Wharf Strip made the whole experience unforgettable. You can literally hear and feel the excitement around you, which makes it so cool. Everything is within walking distance, so getting to restaurants, shops, and attractions is incredibly easy. One of the best parts is that the Big Bus stop is right there, making it super convenient to explore even more of the city without any hassle. If you want location, convenience, and a fun atmosphere, this is the perfect place to stay!

The entire property is under construction it would have been nice to know the details prior to booking. Just made it look really shabby. Unfortunately. But other then that it was an ok stay no issues. Just would’ve been nice to know. It was a nice view from the balcony at night. I would get the outside of the balconies pressure washed or at least the yellow mustard railing cleaned. For the nightly price to stay there would like to be in a lil cleaner common areas and maybe not have the tv wall mount held together with zip ties just saying. It was fine for me but my wife and kids kept pointing things out. Staff was great and welcoming

When we first arrived, the attendant gave us the wrong room, which was nothing like the pictures. The rooms heater did not work there are holes in the walls. When I looked over my room details I went to the office and told them I paid for an ocean view room she told me that the computer automatically gave me the room. She corrected the room and gave us the room we paid for. This room was nicer, but the hotel is old, it had chipped paint, the toilet wouldn’t flush(they brought me a plunger) no microwave in room it had a coffee maker but no bottles of water. The bed was comfortable and the heater worked but it was either on or off it would not shut off after a temp was reached. We stayed 3 days and we were only there to sleep as we were out all day. The location is perfect next to everything plus the bus and trolly system. I would stay here again but I would be prepared for the room.

The beds were very comfortable, shower was hot, and room was quiet.

All things considered, we would stay at this hotel again. You really can’t beat the location and proximity to Fisherman’s Wharf. It was less than a 15 minute walk to Ghirardelli Square and less than a 5 minute walk to Pier 39.

The staff at this hotel was great for the most part - but the hotel needs a little love. Great location - walkable to most things. Heat didn't work properly, the curtains were stained... it needs a good wash and a coat of paint. The beds were clean, mattresses could be flipped... you sort of rolled to the side of the bed!! bathroom was clean. They didn't say rooms weren't being cleaned and we had to ask for towels, coffee, cups, changing garbage - and because it was cold out with heat not working properly we had to ask for blankets. When we arrived the key to the door wouldn't work and the young lady on the front desk had to come with new lock assemblies to try and change it so the door would lock! Asking a lot of someone probably not making a great wage!! Great parking, very secure.

The hotel is older and a little run down, but very clean and safe. Literally across the street from the Pier which was unbelievable! Walking distance to several amazing restaurants, the Aquarium and the tour boats. Staff was gone a lot with a sign \"be back in 5\" but gone for well over an hour on more than one occassion, so that was frustrating especially when we lost our key and couldn't get in. Parking is a bit expensive, but saves you from having to pay for street parking and the parking garage is behind a key card gate, so is very safe. The beds were very comfy. Shower is very small and water pressure was lacking, but for the price it was worth it!
