A little noisy but to be expected that close to a very populated area. Super convenient to the Wharf area and all it has to offer would definitely refer people to stay here if they want to experience the Wharf area and be close to everything

The room felt clean and the beds were comfortable enough. The rooms were strange and quickly. The area is loud, especially since the rooms were under construction below us. Luckily they did t start until 8am. Staff was friendly.

The other reviews are right, you stay at this place for the location. It was easy to get around and within walking distance of many of the attraction. The stay was fine although I did have some issues with it. Walls are thin and could hear neighbors easily. There aren’t any amenities to speak of. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were nice.

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.
