"The hotel is beyond expectation. Parking fee is $65/d which is more expensive than the garage around. The front desk service is so so, while there is one lady who is quite kind and friendly, there’s another one who never smiles and makes me feel uncomfortable. The hotel also does not even offer free water (it has water point each floor tho). It also doesn’t provide slippers. I don’t feel it satisfies an 4-star hotel standard. Amenity fee is compulsory for $30/d. It’s sweet that hotel offers S’more and it has very nice location, but still, it’s far beyond satisfaction."

"Amenities are really lacking - the room lacked basic items, including no free water in the room, no slippers, only one dressing gown (despite being booked for two people). Temperature controls were inconsistent. The lighting was either on or off - no way to turn off just a few. Service was predominately pretty poor - staff were grumpy and aloof from our arrival onwards. But Sammie was fantastic - when we encountered an issue with the heating in our original room she was super accommodating and friendly. Redeeming qualities - the room was really clean, housekeeping were great, the view from the roof was great, and the location was walking distance from so many places (MOMA, Union Square, Oracle Stadium, Chase Stadium, Pier 33 for Alcatraz, ferry building etc) as well as good food options."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites SAN FRANCISCO FISHERMANS WHARF by IHG

Easy check-in with friendly staff. The room was clean, comfortable, and included breakfast. The location is very convenient—within walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf, with plenty of restaurants, the aquarium, bus tour meeting points, ferries across the bay, and boats to Alcatraz Island. There is also easy access to the Golden Gate Bridge by bus, cable car, or even a leisurely jog. The only downside is that no bottled water was provided, whereas other IHG Hotels & Resorts properties I’ve stayed at offer unlimited bottled water. Overall, I got exactly what I expected from Holiday Inn—a consistently satisfactory stay.

Great location, just a few minutes' walk to the pier and some restaurants nearby, plus there's a Trader Joe's right next door. The room was spacious, I even felt like the sofa could fit another person, haha. As other reviews mentioned, the AC unit is quite noisy, but I was so tired that I fell asleep right away.

This week we stayed at Hyatt House San Jose Airport, Hyatt Centric Fishermans Wharf and Hyatt House Santa Clara I am very satisfied with San Jose Airport and Santa Clara, but Fishermans Wharf is the only thing that makes me angry and I feel I have to write a special review to reflect it. The angry part is about the service, and the reasons for dissatisfaction are as follows: 1. When I checked in that day, they said they were still cleaning and asked me if I wanted to change rooms. I decided to wait and go out for a walk. As a result, when I came back the second time, they said there were no rooms and forced me to accept the change from the original king-size double bed to two single beds. 2. The room I booked comes with two breakfasts, but I didn't get any meal coupons when I checked in. When I returned to my room, I called the front desk and they told me that they forgot to give it to me and asked me to go down and get it. When I went to get it, I was only given a meal voucher for one person. When I asked about it, they asked me if I was staying for only one night. After I reflected that my purchase included a meal voucher for two, he casually said Fine to me, as if he was giving me alms? 3. When I checked out of each room, I asked the front desk to give me a receipt. At Hyatt House San Jose Airport, they patiently explained to me that I had to get a receipt from Trip.com because I booked the room through a third-party website. But when I arrived at Fishermans Wharf, they just told me impatiently that they only had a blank receipt and refused to talk to me anymore. When I asked if it was because I booked through trip, the customer interrupted me and said just print a blank receipt for me. Then he gave me a blank receipt and told me to leave. This is really the worst accommodation experience I have ever had in my life, especially for a Hyatt hotel. The front desk staff at the other two hotels were very polite and patient. There is really no comparison and no harm. I strongly suggest that Fishermans Wharf replace the front desk staff and find someone more enthusiastic to serve the front desk, otherwise it will only continue to ruin your reputation. The front desk staff I'm talking about here include the night shift on the night I checked in and the morning shift the next day, they were all terrible!

Coming from Highway 1 to SF, traffic into the city was really bad. The hotel doesn't have its own parking, but you can use their valet service for $70 a night, not including tax. The room was spacious and clean, with a coffee machine, coffee and tea, and a mini-fridge – pretty much all the basic amenities you'd need. They also have a self-service laundry and dryer, which costs $5 per wash and $5 per dry cycle. It's very close to the cable car's final stop. You can text the staff before checking out to have your car brought around (since I wasn't sure how to use the QR code), and it arrived in just 5 minutes.

The staff were friendly, and the room was spacious with a simple yet tasteful interior design. I also liked how big their bathroom was. There is free coffee and water, which was convenient. The courtyard has fire pits and couches for guests to cozy up, and there are smores that you can make during the evening.

The hotel has a nice style, but you can tell it's a renovated property from details like the elevator and the water flow from the faucets. There's no buffet breakfast, but there's an à la carte restaurant on the ground floor, and plenty of breakfast spots within a 5-minute walk. The hot water from the sink faucet was white (the shower hot water was fine), but the weather was warm enough that I didn't need hot water anyway. Many of the featured vinyl records had poor sound quality.

Was an excellent location to Fisherman's Wharf. Hotel was very secure and comfortable. Showing it's age and there's a few things that are overlooked in terms of cleanliness but I'm in the business and have an eye for these things. Didn't bother us though. Room seemed updated and the fans were appreciated as there's no A/C. Great proximity to all the things. Walked to Golden Gate bridge and the Alcatraz Pier. There was construction the day we arrived in a room close to us, but workers were very polite and apologetic and finished the noise around 5pm. Didn't continue the next day so that was nice and we slept in. Over-all was a good stay.
