"we loved it especially its location"

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"I did not like it that the check in was at 4pm and the checkout was at 11am. But of course, for a fee, you can get a standby room earlier. Also the bathroom is tiny. And my window was overlooking a residential home. We made eye contact a few too many times. I’d i closed the shades, the room was too dark. Also, the outlets were limited and old fashioned."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is very well located, walkable to everything or use a Lime scooter. The Hollywood cafe next door has very good breakfast options. Be aware, garage parking at hotel is $75 a night. There are several parking garages across the street (block to 1/2 block) away for cheaper. Chinatown is very congested and the roads / sidewalks are very dirty."

Hotel Caza Fisherman´s Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay by Fisherman’s Wharf"
