The view rooms here are amazing. Request a high floor, looking out, all you'll see is water. Gives you that cruise ship effect. Rooms here are small but nice and comfortable. Also like most Kimpton hotels, it hosts a wine hour, in which they serve wine and beer complimentary.

I spent only a short time at the Harbour Court Hotel but it was an incredible experience. From the excellent location just minutes from major San Francisco attractions along the Embarcadero and a major BART train station, to the cozy rooms with swank furnishings, there was much to enjoy. The hotel staff was always friendly and the colorful, plush lobby's a gem. At 5 nightly, there's a free wine party and some evenings there's also cookies and milk to greet guests at 9 p.m. Never got the use the YMCA next door, but heard it was a nice one. I went for long walks along the boardwalk instead.

You must check out the food shops across the street in the Ferry Building. A food critic told me you can dine there all day and know you're getting some of the best food in the city. I went alone for business but will definitely be back with my husband for fun!

Great hotel if the small room size doesn't bother you. Bathrooms aren't fabulous but amenities and linens are great. With the small room size, i think a view matters, so the upgrade was probably worth it. Got a 25% discount with American Express too. Location is great - if staying on the weekend, don't bother with the costly valet parking - street parking is easy on wknds.

Wonderful hotel! Loved the location, wine & coffee hour. Small rooms, but really neat. Anyhow you are in San Fran, how much time are you really spending in your room?
