"."

Hotel Caza Fisherman´s Wharf

8/10 Good

"I thought the hotel was very clean. My only problem was that my room smelled musty and had a smoke smell. I was also supposed to have a city view room and was given a room over looking the pool. The picture of the city view is not what you get at the hotel."

Fairmont San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Tout etait merveilleux. Tout s’est bien déroulé sauf peut être au moment du chek out. On nous a facturé 210$ de consommations non - utilisées de mini bar. Un simple courriel et tout est entré dans l'ordre. Je félicite la rapidité de reponse et l'efficacité du personnel"

Courtyard by Marriott San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Great location Hotel smells good when you walk in Staff was super friendly and helpful"

Marriott San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Room was very clean."

Wharf Inn

8/10 Good

"This property is located in a great place! Close to restaurants, shopping, and Pier 39. There is a 7-11 right across the street for any necessities that were forgotten to be packed, and the property is handicap-accessible. The staff are super friendly, and there is a safe and a refrigerator in the room. They provided plenty of towels, and we loved the shower as well! The only inconvenience was that the rooms do not have a microwave and we did have some leftovers from the fabulous restaurants."

Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"A great location and a clean room. My family had a great time. I would definitely book here again."
