Nice friendly hotel . Nicely furnished
Pros:

Reception staff , Breakfast staff .
Lobby area View from room
Although limited items the small breakfast was nicely presented .

Cons:

No real complaints at all .
Possibly a little bit out of the way location wise , but depends where you’re going .
As Canadians it seemed expensive , but it’s SF and US $ , so it is what it is .

Not fragrance-free in the lobby
Pros:

Heads up— Harbor Court Hotel in San Francisco markets themselves as an allergy-friendly hotel. They have a “whole floor that’s pet- and fragrance-free.” But when I asked about fragrances in the lobby, the manager said they use fragrances in the lobby to mask the smell of the bay. I told her about the dangers of the chemicals in fragrances and the potential impact on her health and of those who work there daily. I’m opting not to stay there. I wished her luck with the daily exposure.

Embarcadero Gem
Pros:

The Harbor Court Hotel is a hidden gem on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. The hotel is a historic YMCA building minutes and close to the Ferry Building. The hotel is pleasant, clean, relaxing and appropriately decorated with historic photos and furnishings.
Our room and accommodations were simple and fulfilled our needs. The most enjoyable experience of our stay was the hospitality and friendliness of the staff. Javier, Carlos and Diann were so friendly and helpful. My wife and I appreciate their congeniality and genuine conversation with them.

Great Deal Via Costco
Pros:

Location was beautiful, and located right across the embarcadero. Hotel was really nicely upkept. Room was a bit on the smaller side, and wifi strength was not the best in the room. I would have preferred a bit more lighting as well, as two lamps in the room were not enough. TV was great, and I was able to get work on it done. Would stay here again, and worth it if you book through costco.
Restroom was nice, and clean, and had some great smelling shampoos.

A lovely old hotel nicely remodeled and comfortable.
Pros:

Staff was very helpful and amenities were great. I received good value for the relatively low price paid.

Cons:

BathRoom was a bit small (European size) with a tiny sink and tub, but I knew thus beforehand so can’t blame them.

Pros:

Breakfast was okay. It was nice to have coffee, pastries, yogurt and fruit available each morning.

The happy hour was also great.

These events made it easy to meet other guests and added to the friendly atmosphere of the hotel.
The staff (Diana and Carlos) were absolutely wonderful!

Cons:

The decaf coffee wasn’t very good, but I appreciated the fact that the staff tried to accommodate me.
