Excellent hotell perfectly located near Fisherman´s Wharf. I especially enjoy the complementary coffee in the morning, the comfortable beds and the great service provided by every individual at the hotel. The reception made it possible for us to borrow their bikes for a trip to Sausalito and even extending our usage for an extra hour to accompany the ferry timetable. There are plenty of great breakfast cafes close to the hotel. I would definitely stay here again.
