Wharf Inn was the perfect spot for our San Francisco adventure! The location was ideal - steps away from Pier 39, delicious food, and those iconic cable cars. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Loved waking up to the sounds of the sea lions and the bustling wharf. Highly recommend.

Coffee was good in the lobby/ but don’t call it breakfast. Woman at front desk not friendly. More concerned with talking to her friend on the phone both during pm check in and breakfast time. It met my needs. Chain hotel fod $40 more may have been nicer.

Good hotel and service but has freeway noise
The room was very clean and comfortable, and the hotel manager was very welcoming. Because I checked in around 6pm, I was told that the only room left was the room facing the street across from the freeway. The noise was tolerable going to be (white noise) but the sounds of freeway traffic woke me early in the morning. I'm hoping that a room further from the freeway, next time, will be more comfortable.
