Poor
Good location close to Fisherman's Wharf. Good size room.
Had pre-paid for a room for 4 nights. When checking in there was a mistake by the hotel taking my card details in the usual check in process, after the first night I got a number of calls and was asked to come to reception because there had been a problem with taking my details for incidentals.
Arriving back at the hotel there was a large queue of people checking in and I needed the bathroom so decided to return to my room and come back in a short time. Upon arriving at the room I found neither of the keys worked. Going back to reception I asked if they had deliberately locked me out of my room. They confirmed they had.
The hotel could see I had not charged anything to the room so the only thing they could be concerned about was the mini bar. 1 night into a 4 night stay that had been pre-paid at $1,000 per night and I was made to feel like a criminal by being locked out of my room because the hotel had made a mistake was unacceptable and in my opinion is a terrible way to treat guests in a luxury hotel.
When I conveyed my feelings to the reception staff I was simply told ' we are sorry you feel that way, but we are glad you are here so we can rectify it'.
There are many great hotels in San Francisco, I would advise you choose one other than this.

Nice place close to everything on the wharf, comfortable beds, good service.
Would have liked a breakfast included in one of the packages. The hotel said they have it when booking directly.

Great location
Nice and spacious rooom
Room’s smell was not nice
Shower can be upgraded
Parking is super expensive ($100 per night) you can find parking in the streets and in a public parking in half the price

We booked this hotel to celebrate our child’s 3rd birthday. I noted this in the special request section, and while I appreciated the small birthday treat left in the room, that was the only highlight. The hotel was visually beautiful and in a great location, I would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone traveling with young kids.
The bathroom door wouldn’t stay closed, soaking the floor or letting in cold air—it makes you wonder why the room was even offered without fixing it first.
This hotel, is completely unsuitable for families with young children. Our room had a connecting door and paper-thin walls. We could hear full conversations next door. Within minutes of returning to our room around 9:30pm, our toddler was giggling—and the adjacent-door neighbor knocked to ask us to keep it down. We complied. At 4:30am, their kids were loud enough to wake me, though the mom did tell them to quiet down.
At 7:30am, the hotel phone rang like an alarm and woke our entire family. It was the manager, calling to inform us of a noise complaint from our room—while we were sleeping. I told him we’d been asleep. He asked if I’d heard anything. I hadn’t. He apologized and hung up. Later, I was told the complaint came from the floor below and they just called two rooms above. No investigation. No common sense. Just a blind accusation at 7:30 in the morning. When you’re paying $500 a night, being jolted awake and treated like a problem instead of a guest is the exact opposite of “hospitality.”
Staff kept hiding behind the line, “We take all noise complaints seriously,” but not once did anyone take responsibility for how sloppily it was handled. No one verified the source before calling at 7:30am. They treated it like a box to check. That’s not guest service—it’s negligence.
When I asked if the hotel was actually set up for families with young kids, they insisted it was—but after explaining everything that happened, all they offered was, “Sorry we woke you.” That was it.
If my child had been a crying infant, would they have called at 2am? You’re expected to keep your child silent. It’s been 48 hours since our stay and over 24 since submitting an internal review—still no message, no follow-up, no accountability. I wouldn’t stay here again, and if you’re traveling with little kids, don’t even consider it.

Didn't get to stay as the hotel rooms were under maintenance for plumbing issues which were unresolved at our time of arrival so had to book accommodation elsewhere and got a refund after some discussion. Staff were fine to deal with and probably didn't have the authority to upgrade.

Location for all things Fisherman's Wharf was brilliant. We walked or hire bikes and rode and hit all the touristy spots. We even walk to little Italy - basically the perfect location for this part of San Francisco

The bed was sooooooo comfy and the location was just incredible.
We only learned about offers at the hotel from the lovely Joanne at the concierge. Reception didn't make us aware and therefore, we lost out on 15% discount off a meal in the Blue Mermaid restaurant.
Thank you for your information!
