Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel in great location, pool was a nice bonus."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

8/10 Good

"Let me start off with the pros- the free breakfast was amazing!!! If you go with a family you can save 100’s of dollars eating at the hotel. It had everything- 10/10 recommended!!! It was also very close walking distance to the fisherman wharf. Con- super small rooms, and you can hear everything that goes on in the restroom. There is no sound barrier. That was my only issue. The pictures made the room look much larger than it was. Oh and another pro- the bed was comfortable and the give you 4 pillows for each bed. Two firm and two soft which I liked."

Wharf Inn

8/10 Good

"We booked this hotel for our family of 8, so we had two rooms. We loved the convenient location of this property. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go, leaving our car parked in the private, gated parking lot for the entire stay. We also had two king sized beds, which were amazing, and a shared balcony/sitting area to sit and drink coffee before starting the day. The staff was also friendly-shout out to Shabbat (I have no idea if that’s how you spell his name). The place could use a little more updating (which it looks like they might be doing). Our shower was tiny, and was very hard to turn off all the way. I had to help my kids turn it off and still had it dripping all night long. The sink was missing the little drain stopper thing, so it was just a hole in the sink where things could easily get dropped. The ceiling fan light wouldn’t turn off so my husband had to take the bulb out while we slept (there’s no a/c and he’s a hot sleeper so the fan had to stay on). The windows were dusty/dirty, and probably don’t get cleaned with regular room turnover. The elevator is also a little old and scary. Despite the negatives, overall, we had a good stay and wouldn’t mind staying again."

Argonaut Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"He had a wonderful time for our one night stay at the Argonaut. The staff was amazing and attentive.The adjoining restaurant was nice and we had a great breakfast with a fifteen percent discount.The room was perfectly clean.There were no issues.We had plenty of clean towels and extra pillows.The locations fabulous, and there's not a closer location that I would recommend by the wharf, lots to do and plenty to see.And all accessible from a quick, easy walk. I will always recommend the Argonaut."
