Pros. The only good thing about this place is how close it is to fisherman's wharf.

Cons. The price was rediculous for how out dated the hotel is. Barely any parking spaces that we have to pay for, electrical sockets falling apart, and everything just felt old and dirty.

Pros. The hotel was located very close to Fishermans Wharf. It was great to be able to go out exploring and then be able to come back for a break before heading out again. The room was clean and staff were helpful and friendly. Afternoons on the Whatf are a fun adventure. Definitely rent the Lime scooters. Great fun.

Cons. Unfortunately it was near the Wharf. The tour busses park right across the street and at 7 am they are out there running off the homeless. Yelling, cursing, sirens, were every morning. I am an early riser so it was tolerable but the others were not. Very disruptive. Before 10 am you have pick your way through bodies, dogs, trash on sidewalks but after that it cleans up.
