We booked the inn due to location it is walking distance to Ghirardelli square, fisherman’s warf and pier 39. You can’t really hear your neighbors unless window is open. The room was clean bed was soft. We had a fridge which was not cold cold but kept things cool so I guess it did its job. There is a shared microwave for each floor. The room does not have air conditioning & the only window capable of letting air in has no screen & wouldn’t close & it’s inconveniently located right next to the door safety lock which I discovered you can stick your hand in to unlock the safety latch which is a MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!! The bathroom was small WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IF YOUR ON THE HEAVIER OR TALL SIDE. I’m fairly thin and only 5’5 and found sitting on the toilet my knees almost touched the wall in front of me. They do provide pumps with body soap shampoo & conditioner in the shower. The hotel it’s self Rundown at best it looks like their doing minor upgrades, there was water in the stairwell look like water was leaking from a pipe. The elevator says 2000lbs weight limit, when my family of 3 and 2 other people were in the elevator it made the scariest of sounds to hear while moving some cars are exposed to weather in the garage but it is gated from public. ISSUE I HAD is the gate can only be opened by staff & they were on lunch when we were coming back for the night no one was there & there’s no key card or code to let yourself in. Parking is $30 a night early parking is $15 extra

So much external noise it was difficult to sleep. The WiFi was very inconsistent, and unavailable at times. All in all, probably the worst hotel I have stayed in over the last 40+ years.

The Wharf Inn was in a great location and the staff was nice and friendly. The room was large, comfortable, and clean. Without AC or cross ventilation, the room became quite stuffy. With the window open, we experienced street noise; such as, garbage collection, deliveries, and street sweeping during the night and screaming (profanity) bums and loud vehicle music during the days. We would recommend the Wharf Inn…just be aware of the ‘noise’.

Great central location to the fisherman’s wharf, easy to walk around and see the sights. From desk was accommodating. Comfortable bed and room. Keep in mind it’s an older hotel near the water. Would stay again!

The hotel is very dated and can use an update. The room was clean and comfortable and it's proximity to the wharfs is a plus.

I booked this last minute. This motel is disgusting. I travel frequently and will stay in hostels or a resort This motel should not be on Expedia. Nasty, foul smelling and falling apart. I immediately walked out & asked for a refund. I was refused and expedia kept me on the phone for an hour & while agreeing the motel was awful based on the pics I sent, only offered a $25 coupon. I have used Expedia over 50 times this year and cannot believe this treatment. I recommend spending $50 more for a normal hotel not this slum with a terrible desk clerk

Wouldn’t do it again

There’s no air conditioning, beds rough and not comfortable! Great location in regards to fisherman’s wharf and pier 39 but it’s a very old, outdated hot hotel room. At night it wasn’t horrible but you have to open the windows which can’t have the curtains pulled so less privacy but during the day it’s HOT
