Reasonably clean, great location by attractions but horrifically noisy, both from street traffic and denizens of the hotel itself. Staff was very nice. Room cleaning products very smelly, so be careful if you are sensitive. Parking an issue - not enough spots by the end of the day. Bottom line: because it was so much less expensive than any other... more

This hotel is in a great location. Pier 39 just around the corner with all the Wharf activities. Close to public transport. No fridge but lots of ice available. Complimentary Tea and coffee in lobby 24/7. Room small but comfortable and clean and we had no problems with noise. Free parking in safe area. more

Quite a good hotel, very close to the Wharf, closer than some of the bigger chain hotels. Clean and comfortable, room small but adequate, bed comfortable and nice toiletries provided. Staff very helpful. more

We picked Wharf Inn for its location and free parking. We didn't have much time in San Francisco (just Friday evening and the next morning) so I felt by staying at Fisherman's Wharf we were able to make the best of the time we had. We booked an evening tour of Alcatraz. The departure was just a short walk from... more

Hotel was old, but clean. Lots of street noise. Close to Fisherman's Wharf. Free parking..but lot filled up and had to double park and leave keys in case they had to move your car.Showers went from scalding hot to freezing cold. They state that non smoking rooms are available. Well...they are all non smoking rooms...so if you are a smoker... more

Very noisey, the walls must be paper thin. It seems the Wharf Inn is a popular hang out for late night drunks and hotel room parties. There were loud and obnoxious drunk Mexicans partying until 3AM on a Wednesday night and nobody took care of this problem. It sounded so loud it seemed they were in the room with us.... more

This was a great little hotel down the street from Fisherman's Wharf. The price was fantastic. The clerk was great in helping us find places in interest in San Francisco. My only problem was the noise. Since the hotel was across the street from a 7-11, there is alot of car traffic noise, especially the night we stayed. In the... more

Stayed week of Feb 18 2008. Good hotel for the price Nothing special but it was clean, free parking, and 1/2 block walk to Fishermans Wharf. A short walk will get you to Pier 39 and basically any of the Wharf area attractions. Ghirradelli Sq, cable cars you name it. Plenty of great resturants within walking distance. My only caution... more

The Wharf Inn, San Francisco Stayed Jan. 24-28, 2008 Great location! We had an excellent experience at The Wharf Inn. This is an older, but not ancient, Motor Hotel in the style popular in the 60s and 70s. This place was very clean and tidy, well-maintained and comfortable. Unpretentious, The Wharf Inn does not try to be an over-priced "luxury"... more
