Hotel was situated in a busy area. Felt safe and able to walk around. Staff was nice too. The room was outdated and the woodwork in the rooms had so much dust on it it felt very uncomfortable for us to put our suitcase and belongings anywhere. The dust was so packed on and old on the moldings of the columns inside the rooms. There was mold on the wood columns too. Wouldn’t go back because of that. Shower curtains need to go

The hotel was nice and historic. We did eat the first night at the Blue Mermaid. The food and service was great. Parking at the hotel is impossible valet is the only option. Traveling with a child in a wheelchair that is medically fragile we had a lot of stuff and the valet was patient but we felt rushed. They were grabbing items out of our car. It was chaos. We also could not access our car without getting valley. No fault of the staff or building but it just wasn’t right for our needs. The hotel was very nautical and cute. The room was spacious. The mini bar situation was too much for us and less alcohol in the room would have been more ideal. We had room service breakfast which was great and fast. Cool hotel but not for complex medical accommodations .

We have been going to this hotel since it opened. about 7 times. 1. When we first started going second week open lovely place. Great people, very polite and helpful. 2. Over the years it settled and still a nice 4.5. 1. This time carpet smelled. They said they are remodeling and carpet as well. 2. I understand a billing mistake but billed twice. That does not happen in a 4.5 hotel. Got fixed but I think they do it so they can get parking, drinks food. And insured it’s paid?? Hope just a mistake. We all got hit hard with COVID and SF took a beating. I look forward to staying again when there back to a 4.5 . I am sure they will along with the wharf and downtown. One thing I will say, doormen supper nice, John? And the parking guys. House cleaning friendly and a smile, Front desk, very friendly and bar tenders not helpful not friendly.

Hotel is in a great walkable area to the Piers and Wharf. Lots of great restaurants and things to do near by. Had interactions with check in and Valet. I have to say I was not impressed by either. They did their job slowly and could really care less. Property is a neat find but don’t be prepared to be “wowed” by a super attentive and friendly staff.
