Pros:

Characterful hotel, converted from an old tannery warehouse. Situated close to Fisherman's Wharf and a tram terminus so really easy to get around. Room was spacious and comfortable.

Cons:

Small.point, but there was no central lighting point which meant we had to turn on and off lots if lamps!

Spoiled day, money for nothing
Pros:

The hotel is really has perfect location and both common spaces and rooms “are styled in tasteful nautical accents”!
But!!!

Cons:

But!!!
The “featuring views of the Golden Gate Bridge or Alcatraz Bay” promised by the room description turned out to be a window facing a cable car stop, with a narrow strip of water visible in the corner.

There were no amenities in the room, no bathrobes, no slippers.
About half of the items had price stickers on them — meaning you’d have to pay if you used them, lost them, or, heaven forbid, took them with you: on the water bottles, on the plush seal on the bed, on the umbrella…

To top it all off, in what was supposedly a cleaned toilet before your arrival, there was a fairly substantial piece of toilet paper floating in it.

After that, the little machine on the desk — kindly offering a cashless way to leave tips for the hotel staff in case you didn’t have cash — triggered nothing but Homeric laughter…
Another curious innovation at breakfast was sprinkling an Italian frittata with Greek feta cheese and adding a generous portion of fried potatoes on the same plate… well, okay — their chef is an artist, that’s how he sees it 🤡

Very comfortable, quiet and relaxing stay in a great location.
Pros:

Good breakfast and lunch available at the blue mermaid restaurant and lovely outdoor seating area for when the weather is good.

Cons:

Room dimensions meant it was quite long and not that wide with just one window at the end, so less natural light than we would like ideally
