Great Location and Hotel
The hotel has real charm and character. The staff are great and we loved the location.
Hotel is immaculate and we slept well in the comfy bed. 
Our first visit to San Francisco so it was the ideal location for us. We booked a wine tour which departed from here. Short walk to Pier 39 and the departure point for Alcatraz Tours. We even hired bikes from Blazing Saddles next door to bike the bridge. (The bike path starts almost from the hotel front). Plenty of decent restaurants and bars within the vicinity. 
We enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast in the Blue Mermaid, which for a small additional charge could be upgraded (which we did a couple of days). We also ate an evening meal at the Blue Mermaid (one of their chowders) which did not dissappoint. There was always a nice atmosphere in the Blue Mermaid. We sadly missed out on the wine tasting hour each day as we were so busy out and about. My only disappointment was the lack of a view from the room window. We were in one of the internal rooms which overlooked a roof and could only see windows of the rooms opposite. Such a shame as everything else about this hotel was perfect. 
Yes, its in the Fishermans Wharf area which is very touristy but I found it an ideal spot for a first timer to this lovely city.
