Wonderful hotel. Clean and within walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf. They had e-bikes to rent, with the 1st hour free. I rode down to the Chase Center and back within the hour. Clean and updated rooms. Small rooms but the room had everything you needed with a table and chair and a bench. Staff were very friendly. We had a social in the courtyard with drinks and appetizers. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. We had breakfast in the restaurant and it was wonderful and the staff were very accommodating to our big group.

Wonderfully Hospitable Stay...

We had a great report during check in, and called shortly after
I got to my room to see if I needed a coffee or tea maker.
Even though they offer it in the lobby during generous
morning hours. Seems to me like he thinks of everything.
And Zoe does too.

The best hotel with the best location!

We had the best time at the hotel Zoe, this was the start of our honeymoon trip, we loved the location, friendly and approachable staff, comfortable beds and spacious rooms. The hotel is a stone throw away from the heart of Fisherman’s wharf and is so accessible to all transport links, restaurants and attractions.
