“Loved it”

The Wharf Inn

Jul 24, 2008

Clean, safe big room. Booked a King with a balcony. Perfect for the smoker in an all non-smoking hotel. Steps to the wharf. Free parking and a great location were a big part of my picking this place since parking is expensive and hard to find near the wharf. Only slight incovenience was the shower that was either too hot or too cold and kept changing temps.

“Clean but Noisy”

The Wharf Inn

2 of 5 stars
SLO, CA
Jun 29, 2008

Reasonably clean, great location by attractions but horrifically noisy, both from street traffic and denizens of the hotel itself. Staff was very nice. Room cleaning products very smelly, so be careful if you are sensitive. Parking an issue - not enough spots by the end of the day.

Bottom line: because it was so much less expensive than any other property in the area (approximately $100/night less) we would likely stay here again if we couldn't find a better deal elsewhere.

“Great Location”

The Wharf Inn

Perth, Western Australia
Jun 15, 2008

This hotel is in a great location. Pier 39 just around the corner with all the Wharf activities. Close to public transport. No fridge but lots of ice available. Complimentary Tea and coffee in lobby 24/7. Room small but comfortable and clean and we had no problems with noise. Free parking in safe area.

Quite a good hotel, very close to the Wharf, closer than some of the bigger chain hotels. Clean and comfortable, room small but adequate, bed comfortable and nice toiletries provided. Staff very helpful.

“Liked the convenience”

The Wharf Inn

4 of 5 stars
Georgetown, Kentucky
May 18, 2008

We picked Wharf Inn for its location and free parking. We didn't have much time in San Francisco (just Friday evening and the next morning) so I felt by staying at Fisherman's Wharf we were able to make the best of the time we had. We booked an evening tour of Alcatraz. The departure was just a short walk from he hotel. It was nice to be able to walk and enjoy the shops at night and find a restaurant for breakfast the next morning.

The room was pretty good, but nothing fancy We had two queen beds and paid for a rolloway. There was high speed internet. We had a room in the back facing a wall, so there was no view. That was OK . The bathroom was suprisingly large and nice (shower no tub).

The management was very helpful in getting us directions both to get to the Alcatraz tour and to the airport in Oakland the next day.

The price was a lot more than I have paid for similar rooms in other cities, but it was much cheaper than other rooms in Fishermans Wharf area.

Overall, I enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. I just wish I had more time in San Francisco.
