And certainly doing their part to be eco-friendly. Our only knock would be that the cleaning staff was not consistent.

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

5/5 Excellent
"Good place for easy access to the waterfront and fishermans wharf. Hotel itself is quite fresh and modern - courtyard area out the back with fire pits is great for a few beers. Sound proofing between rooms is not great nor is the 1” gap underneath the door to the hallway so you can hear absolutely everything that is going on all night. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Recommend for a short stay with easy access to the good places "
