My partner and I stayed here last year and did not have a good stay. The room was nice enough except it cost more than I felt it should. However the real problem was the bed bugs. My partner woke up with terrible bites after our first night and they got progressively worse as the day went on. We were... More

The good....: Location, friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are clean. Free parking. The building is secured. The bad......: The rooms are small and lacking the amenities one would expect. Also time to update the tv. Towels are a joke, toilet paper and facial tissue are super thin. The toilet is not friendly for the above average person. (I am... More

This would almost be a five-star review except for three things: 1) very poor lighting in our room; no bedside reading light (one side did not work and the other side of bed had no table!); 2) shower is stall-model with absolutely no shelf space to put anything, like razor, washcloth, etc.; 3) some dust and old dirt beneath items...

Older, but very nice . 1/2 block from Fishermans Wharf. I expected it to be noisey but was surpprised. Staff was friendly and helpfull. Price included parking which is a big help...most of the other Hotels/Motels in the area charge around $35.00 per day.

You get what you pay for. If your looking for a beautiful, nicely appointed room with a view and concierge service then spend the extra $100 a night at the Sheraton just a block away. Otherwise, if you're looking for a simple, clean place to [--], shower and shave while you're out and about all day exploring the beauty of... More

The Wharf Inn was our first stop on a two week long tour of San Francisco. The price and location was right, but not the actual building. It is an older building and although it's perfectly cheap, there are a few things that made it a place I probably won't stay at again. Our check in was swift and polite.... More

First major "pro" for this hotel is its location. 5 minute walk to Fisherman's wharf, F-line tram is just around the corner, cable car line is also very close. Second major "pro" is people at the reception. They helped me all the time. Providing the hair drier, drawing routes on maps, explaining how to get here and there, recommending places... More

Clean spacious rooms. Free parking. Friendly staff. Great location. If you get a balcony room be ready for LOTS of street noise. From garbage trucks to tour buses to homeless people shaking containers for money. If you are someone who can sleep thru the noise perfect place. If not try a room with no balcony -view of the parking lot.

5 minutes from pier 39 or fisherman's wharf, 10 mins to the pier for the ferry to Alcatraz 10mins to Cannery row and the cable car terminus and only 20 minutes walk up to China town, so you can park up your car in the secure parking and just enjoy San Francisco.

Took off on a trip to California with my Dad, didn't pre-plan anything. When we drove in to SF we checked out the Wharf area and lucked into a room at the Wharf Inn. I had seen the reviews on Tripadvisor so I knew what to expect. Yes, the rooms are a little dated, but they where clean and our... More
