Right next to the Action

If you are planning to take all these different tours of the San Francisco area, the starting point for all of them is at Fishermans Wharf. This hotel is right beside Fishermans Whaf making it very convenient to do the tours. So whether you are doing Napa Valley, Sonoma, even Alcatraz, you are right next to the action. And there are a lot of places to see in the area

Unique Quality: Location is its best quality

Great Location, iffy privacy/service

Service was more miss than hit but was passable. Felt like I was purposefully lied to about amenities that were clearly in black & white on my reservation (breakfast for two) but they tried not to provide. Rooms are not very sound proof but were clean and adequate. Kiosk in the lobby for printing of airline boarding passes looked like a good deal but we didn't use it. Restaurant prices in the hotel are outrageous ($16.95) for the breakfast buffet. No control over the 'business center' so people were there using it that were not even hotel guests. Concierge had an inattentive, laziness, and overall lack of knowledge about him that really annoyed me both days I tried to get service.

I probably would stay again but I definitely would look elsewhere as well. If the service was better I'd really not have too much bad to say (other than THIN walls & windows).

Unique Quality: Location, location, location. Those are the 3 standout things I can say about the hotel.

Holiday Inn Express

We stayed at this basic, but nice hotel. The location was great, the rooms were cheap and clean, and they had a great free breakfast every morning. The cinnamon buns are amazing!

Hotwire.com WARNING

My experience with booking hotwire.com while in San Francisco was not a pleasant adventure. Upon arrival at Fisherman's Wharf Holiday Day Inn, I was informed the only rooms available at the hotel when booking with hotwire.com were SMOKING ROOMS. I was offered a non-smoking room at twice the hotwire.com quote at double the amount at the desk.
BEWARE travelers, if you are not a smoker, you can be placed in a terrible smelling smoking room when booking through www.hotwire.com

Unique Quality: Convenience but not worth the savings if staying in a smoking room.

Just a place to sleep

We originally had booked our stay at the Holliday Inn Express (one block away) but upon arrival they didn't have a room for us. So they gave us a discount at this hotel. The room was noisy, expecially in the mornings when buses went up and down the street and stopped at the traffic light just outside our window. Location was great if you like the touristy stuff. The best part of the stay was the hotel's buffet breakfast, which they gave us free as compensation for having no rooms for us at the Holliday Inn Express (an $80.00 value every morning of our stay).

Unique Quality: Central location at Fisherman's Wharf.

Not too bad

I selected the hotel myself as it was conveniently located at Fisherman's Wharf, which makes it ideal as a starting point for your trips. Don't take this hotel but take the Holiday Inn Express next to it. It's cheaper and the view is better as this hotel's view is blocked by another company.

Breakfast is quite good, especially if you take the buffet for $9.50

Hotel with a good location

Stayed in a twin room, with two double beds. The room was clean and the shower was excellant.

Unique Quality: A good functional hotel, close to Fisherman's wharf, the F-line and the Cable Car.

Great Free Breakfast

This hotel was in a great location. Just a couple of streets up from Fishermans Wharf on North Point Street, it is also really handy for the Cable Car terminus.Hotel was immaculate, and the staff were very helpful. Not much of a view from the bedroom , but we were hardly ever in, and when we were it was dark, so it made no difference at all. I would stay here again if I get the chance to go back to SF.

Unique Quality: There'a a free continental breakfast included in the rate. Large choice and although it gets very busy, the stocks are replenished all the time. If you are travelling with children, this will save you a small fortune! Two computers seyt up in the lobby with Internet access (free). Great for keeping in touch with family back home.
