Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

"The property was very clean. Staff was really helpful. The only issue was that my room was at first level and it was too much noise coming in from the street and out side specially in the middle of the night or early morning"

Wharf Inn

8/10 Good

"Near tourist spots. Clean room."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and easy parking. I did not agree with the Resort fee. What is that for? I paid for the room AND paid $65 for parking. "

Fairmont San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Loved almost everything! The water pressure was amazing. The one weak thing: they should use better toilet paper. On-site parking is very expensive."

Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was great. Staff was very helpful. Highly recommended!!!"

San Remo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at one of the newer and cleaner queen rooms w/ private restroom (which looks incredible). Amenities are bare bones (water/coffee machines at lobby) but the biggest plus is the quiet location. Walking to the North Beach strip does get crowded but heading back here somehow cuts all the noise."
