Average Hotel, Great Location.
Firstly, let me say that for what we needed, this hotel served its purpose. On a 4 day trip to San Francisco we wanted to be close to Pier 39, Embarcadero, Telegraph Hill and Chinatown. The hotel is literally a block back from Fishermans Wharf which is great for when you want to go and see the attractions at Pier 39, the rest of the city is within reasonable walking distance and free maps are available at the concierge desk. 
A couple gripes with the hotel, there aren't many lights in the room which makes it a little tricky to unpack and sort things out, we only have two desk lamps in the room, no central light, which seems a little odd, especially at this time of year when the days are short. The lift in the lobby is painfully slow and takes minutes to go up and down a few floors; yes there are stairs but you can only use these to exit the floors not enter, so fine if you're going out but not so great when coming back. The walls in the hotel also seem to be paper thin, not the best when next door has a crying baby and snoring parents! There also aren't many power outlets in the room, not ideal when travelling with any number of electronic devices that need charging and powering. 
There's no restaurant on site, but there is an IHOP next door which is ideal for breakfast. The lobby has a kiosk which serves coffee and soft drinks but the opening times are limited. The weather has been fairly cool whilst we've been here so we didn't take advantage of the pool, however, in all honesty it doesn't look very appetising. The hotel does have a 'gym' but it's about the same size as one of the guest-rooms and has hardly any kit so not good, plus, with some of the most attractive scenery in the world, I'd recommend going for a run along the bay rather than using a treadmill! 
We had a room with two queens and a balcony which was of average size, the balcony is nice to get some fresh air but the view was solely of the swimming pool area and not particularly private so might be best to save money and go for a standard room. The bathroom is average but nothing special. The free WiFi works a charm; very fast and reliable. It's what I'm currently using to access the web and post this review. 
One thing that has shocked me is that the on-site parking for hotel guests is $42.50 a day, luckily we only have a car here for one night, not a week. 
The staff have all been pleasant and friendly. housekeeping have come everyday at the same time and cleaned the room to a good standard. I'd recommend this hotel to others and would also stay again, but please do not expect luxury. It should be considered a convenient, clean and comfortable place to stay when in the area.
