Wharf Inn was the perfect spot for our San Francisco adventure! The location was ideal - steps away from Pier 39, delicious food, and those iconic cable cars. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Loved waking up to the sounds of the sea lions and the bustling wharf. Highly recommend.

Wouldn't check me in; lost my 4
I did not have my drivers license - had a passport and had my license downloaded from CA DMV. Would not let me stay, would not refund me. Terrible experience and I lost $100+ for the pleasure.
