Staff are welcoming and helpful. The location is convenient to public transportation, there is a BART station just steps away. The hotel is within walking distance to Union Square, the Ferry Building, or for a stroll along the promenade with a view of the water. Guests of the hotel can enjoy 10% discount from the restaurants in the Embarcadero complex. One not to miss is the excellent Harborview Chinese restaurant. Nearby there is a bus stop that will take you to Chinatown. Inside the Ferry...

Stayed here with our family of 5 in a suite. It was like a house rather than a Hotel, in fact it was a period house the hotel had joined on the back. Loads of room, and although we have to cycle through the one bathroom it was worth it. Full kitchen and utensils and nice period furniture. Was clean and was not musty at all which was pretty surprising. Breakfast was good and plentiful, and there is handy unloading area out front, and parking for $34 a day over the road. Would stay here again.

Lovely gem of a place. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Would definitely stay again if we returned. Having self contained kitchen was an absolute plus. Staff were fantastic to deal with. Close to amenities, could not fault our stay.
