Perfect location! Most of the main attractions are within 8 min to 20 min walking distance. They are in a middle of a renovation so expect more updated rooms. Hotel was clean. Staff were friendly. Parking is limited, first come basis. However, it's behind a gate so it's secured. Not the fanciest but great deal for the location.

The room was updated and clean. Parking was easy and close to the elevator. The location is perfect for exploring Fisherman’s Wharf. It’s an older hotel that still needs some work, but I’m Glad they started with the rooms. I would stay there again.

The hotel is in a wonderful location. The staff was so nice and helpful. The only downside is the rooms are very dated. The shower and bathroom need updating. The beds were big and comfortable. There was no big blanket on beds. There was no air-conditioning. Great for families due to location and size.

We had a great stay at the Wharf Inn! The location was perfect, we were only about a 5-minute walk from the cable car turnaround, making it easy to explore the city. We also walked to Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman’s Wharf, and plenty of nearby shops and restaurants without needing to drive. One thing we really appreciated was the flexibility with parking. Check-out was at 11:00 a.m., but we were able to pay for extended parking so we could enjoy our boat tour before heading home without worrying about moving the car. If you’re looking for a convenient, walkable place to stay while visiting San Francisco, I would definitely recommend the Wharf Inn!

This was a great room for location and parking. We were able to pull our vehicle in the fenced area and leave it while we walked to all the sites around Fisherman’s Wharf. The staff was so helpful and kind. The property itself could use some cleaning and updates. There was no air conditioning and because it is located in a high traffic area there was a lot of noise right outside our window. There were some people blasting music from their vehicles outside our balcony after 9:00 pm when we were ready to settle in. However, the staff was amazing and was great about trying to find us a quiet room away from the main road.
