San Francisco Marriott Fisherman’s Wharf

Booked a Saturday night stay here through Expedia. The check in was quick, the staff was very friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable (we receive a free upgrade to executive). If back in the area again, will definitely stay here.

If I could give this a 0, I would.
This Marriott does not have proper security. No key needed to access floors, no cameras in hallways, no security, bad insurance plan that does not help the guests. For the cost, this hotel is terrible. Just use AirBNB or head over to the other hotels in the area, because the bay area is not the place to have a lack of security.
My bag was stolen along with my shoes. The hotel has provided 0 help, 0 reimbursement and 0 care. I and my father have been loyal customers for years, but I think it’s time to make the switch to another hotel.

This is not the best Marriot property. If I could, I would give 5 stars to the check-​in staff. I arrived very early and the staff accommodated me; provided me with complimentary breakfast coupons and a drink coupon. I also had a meeting room reserved and the staff was very helpful in getting my meeting set up.
The restaurant — I had lunch and dinner here. Lunch was ok and dinner was not appetizing. Most of the fish selections were salmon (which I do not care for), which made the menu limiting.
Otherwise, the location seems to be convenient for people who want to see the main San Francisco attractions. The area is loud in the morning. A lot of street noise.
The rates were very high at this hotel on my trip (I believe that there was a convention in town). And not worth the rate that I paid, which was higher than the normal rate.

I’m normally a Hilton girl but occasionally stay at Marriott properties
This trip– I stayed here. From the valet guy to the check in and dinner– these folks did a great job. The room is facing the street and is a little noisy but I sleep with a sound machine so no problems there. Big bed with down pillows and comfy comforter. Air conditioning works great and the room had plenty of outlets which is critical for me with all my electronics. I hate when I have to go looking for outlets.
Bathroom is adequate. I don’t like the smells of their products. Too masculine for my taste. Location is within walking distance to all restaurants, etc. I would definitely recommend this hotel. I’m a Gold member so they gave me all the perks– free wifi, breakfast and water
Steep overnite parking fee-​$ 54. Not sure I understand that but oh well– it’s the city.

FIVE STAR customer service! Carmen & her colleaugues made our brief visit memorable. Room is clean and well appointed — just wish there were 2 queens rather than 2 doubles. :-)
Though our room was outfitted with a nice fruit plate plus cookies and milk for our 7 year old.
We are already Marriott Rewards members but this stay has really solidified their position as our favorite hotel chain.

I loved my experience when I went on vacation with my family from 12÷26−12÷29. All of the Marriott staff members were super friendly and welcoming. Our concierge (I believe his name is Shaw) was the best and basically helped us plan out everything we would be doing while were there. The breakfast we had inside the hotel was a bit expensive for 4 people, but luckily we found other places to eat breakfast the other days my family and I were there. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would come back again if I decide to take another vacation in the Bay Area.

Location: great! Within walking distance to Fisherman’s wharf and Ghirardelli square.
Parking: Valet only
Check-​in: This is where we lost a star. There were two staff members at the front desk. One was on the phone talking while looking at me. The other one looked at me but didn’t greet me. It wasn’t until the one on the phone finally got off the phone, about 3 minutes later, that I was finally acknowledged.
Room: on the smaller side, but comfortable bed, clean room, usual Marriott amenities.

We reserved this hotel for the day due to a Xmas party we were attending two blocks down the street! Even though we live in the bay, it’s best to stay close by to avoid rushing and traffic and so you don’t drive under the influence, right?!
The company reserved a lot of rooms for their workers use and a very good idea. Great choice in hotel. This hotel was very accommodating, clean rooms and staff was friendly. The rooms offered a small frig, safe, small closet, iron and hair dryer. They have lots of outlets to plug your chargers, etc but they need to upgrade to USB plugs already! The beds are firm enough and comfy. No bed bugs seen! Heater worked great on the cold night. We had a good 5^th floor room looking over the street and looking at Holiday Inn hotel across the street. The bathroom was nice and tubs are clean especially the shower head. I have a thing about dirty shower heads! I can’t stand to shower if there is crud on it.
They have a dining area for food and drinks near the reception. The lobby is pretty big. Check-​in is 4p; kinda late and check-​out time is 12p and better than other hotels. Prices are fair for the location of this hotel. My only grip about the hotel is they don’t offer free wifi. This should be a MUST for your guest at this price. There is a surcharge I did not want to pay and good thing, we were here for one night only. Other than that, I would stay here again! ;-) Totally, recommend this hotel.

Good location within walking distance from Gharidelli Square and the wharf where you can shop, eat and check out history. The rooms are normal Marriott bit try not to stay on the street side across from the Ramada. Pretty noisy but I put my TV on low and slept through the noise. The breakfast is robust for buffet but so is the cost so look out for that. Regular menu items are also pricy but I found the food to be very good. The male bar tenders mixed well but the last night of my stay there was a loud party in the room next to the bar/​restaurant with rambunctious party goers who where screaming karaōke at the top of their lungs and we could not hear ourselves nor the football game. We asked them to shut the doors, that wasn’t an option. The older female bartender was miserable that night and made a very deficient dark and stormy. I can only chalk it up to the annoyance of the party. All in all I enjoyed the stay. Valets are great as is the staff. Watch your bill, the app and online reservation system was having a glitch and charging guests early checkin. Gregg the manager will fix that for you.

***** stay away *****
I don’t usually leave a review on a place I visit or eat at unless I love it or hate it, this place, I HATE!!! By far the absolute worst hotel/​motel/​inn (whatever you want to call it) that I’ve ever stayed in. Only good thing was the location, besides that, terrible, horrible, atrocious, well, you get how I feel about this place.
Basically a motel 6 with a decent Lobby. The staff was not very attentive, the rooms, standard. But this is where the nightmare begins. The room heating system turns off and on throughout the night even when I had shut down the thermostat. I woke up every hour due to that loud noise OR the noise of people in the upstairs room (paper thin walls) OR the old plumbing system this place has. I literally heard every surrounding rooms flushing waters from toilets, showed, sinks etc. I have never experienced such poor accommodations from a hotel.
The bed was hard and uncomfortable, I went on a weekend getaway for rest and relaxation and instead found myself tired due to very little and or poor sleep. I wish Unilocal would allow zero stars because this place deserves that. Shoot ! Even writing this review upsets me knowing that even while at home in my comfortable bed I’m still thinking about that dump I spent the weekend in. My advice, spend a couple of extra bucks and stay at a local kimpton hotel (Argonaut) or something in union square. 2 thumbs down Marriott

Room service constantly cheap with towels and soap. Got ripped off when I got the Coke refills at the internal restaurant… Charged me $ 15 for Coke with. 2 refills. Room clean but bathroom tiny. Breakfast buffet moderate but not worth 30 per adult. Overall ok but not quite the standard I expected. I’d stay again so its not all bad just would not expect as much as I get on other Marriott. Decent location if u want to travel around the area as conveniently located.

Have stayed here before. It’s clean, neat and a better value than most hotels near the financial district. Taxi ride is only 10 minutes from most businesses. Good room service and a short walk from the wharf.

This review is based on the breakfast provided. There was a large selection of breakfast items on the buffet line.
The foods I had were oatmeal, pork sausage, chicken and apple sausage, bacon, a cheese blintz, biscuits and gravy, and potatoes.
The oatmeal was solid with added sugar, raisins, and strawberries.
The pork sausage was a little overcooked, but was alright. The chicken and apple sausage was just too much of an apple taste for my liking.
The bacon was tasty. There seemed to be a mix of how the bacon was cooked, which was nice.
The cheese blintz was good. It seemed to be of the sweet cheese kind and most likely from the Golden Brand, the best blintzes out there.
The biscuits and gravy was strange. Rather than the meat being pieces of sausage, it was chopped meat. It sort of had a Canadian bacon taste to it, but not as salty. I am not sure what it was exactly. The biscuit and gravy itself was just alright.
The potatoes were the worst item I ate. There was no flavor to them at all. It just seemed to be cut up potatoes with little pieces of peppers. I was unimpressed.
The second morning I had oatmeal and the eggs.
The eggs were not good. They were dry and had no taste at all. I had to add loads of salsa. It was very disappointing.
Will I go back? Sure.

We spent the weekend in san Francisco and stayed at the Marriott.
Beautiful clean and comfortable.
Very friendly staff.
You park 50 a day and walk everywhere.
Very close to everything.
You will be happy here!

I’m a Platinum Marriott member for 4 years now, traveling as a consultant for Oracle. I brought my girlfriend out to the Fisherman’s Whart Marriott for a wedding back in July and to do some sight-​seeing. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the location was prime, with walking distances to Pier 39, Lombard St., and Ghiardelli Square. Restaurants were plentiful; the only downside with this full scale Marriott was the lack of concierge lounge, however they compensated me with a free buffet breakfast for myself and guest. Will definitely return during my next stay in the Bay Area —
Best,
Charlie

The location is great! U don’t have to take an über/​cab for anything. All the great restaurants and fun activities are within walking distance.
The hotel itself is ok, nothing bad, nothing great to remember. It’s pretty small but the staff is friendly. Besides, most of you are probably traveling for fun, not to be in your room all day.

I stayed here recently for a long weekend — booked through Priceline Name Your Price for $ 135/​night (plus lots of taxes). Best part of this hotel was the location, walking distance (meaning less than 2 miles for me) to Fishermans’s Wharf, North Beach, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Chinatown, Embarcadero, Union Square, etc. Close to restaurants and shopping (Trader Joe’s, Safeway, Walgreens, Cost Plus) and plenty of cabs driving around. Bus stop right outside, 1.5 miles to BART.
I didn’t have any problems checking in early, I think between 10 – 11. The room I got on the second floor wasn’t the greatest, right outside a busy street and therefore I kept the curtains closed. The room and bathroom were typical chain hotel, included a small refrigerator. Large lounge/​dining area across from the front desk. The gym was larger than expected and surprisingly had a large basket of good apples and self-​serve washer and dryer. Coffee and fruit infused water in the lobby.
A lot of fees at this hotel. Besides the valet parking, there are fees to use wireless and the computers in the business center (pay to use the Internet as well as to print.) $ 4.50 water bottles in your room. Not the type of hotel to offer anything complimentary.

A simple room layout. You are paying for the location. It’s very close to Fisherman’s Wharf. Easy walking distance to the piers. Hyde Park National Park pier is nearby.
It is superclose to tourist shops. Walgreens is across the street. In room water is $ 4.50. $ 1.50 at Walgreens. The room has a small fridge. Ours was very noisy.
There is a bar and restaurant (RedFin) downstairs. Order a beer at the bar and you get a $ 0.30 charge for SF Health Ordnance. Whatever that is?
Taxi from the airport costs $ 50.
Hotel is very close to close to cable cars. Taylor and Hyde stops are walking distance. $ 17 all day muni pass or $ 6 one way.
The F bus runs up the road to pier stops. $ 2.50 for a ride or use your muni pass.

This SF Marriott Fisherman’s Wharf Hotel is actually very nice, if you ignore the ugly exterior architectural design. Everyone from the doorman to the front desk had a smile on their faces and answered any questions I had. I loved the complimentary cookies they have up at the front desk :)
I booked a room here for $ 169 on a Thursday night. Even though I thought it was a little expensive for a week-​night stay, it is only 2 – 3 blocks away Pier 39 and all its attractions. If you are looking for a late night eatery near this Marriott, sadly the closest place is Denny’s.
The lobby is very nice. There are lots of ample space if you want to sit down or just read a book downstairs. When I was there, they had numerous gingerbread candy houses for display. The rooms are immaculate and spacious for a King size bed reservation.
If your here for pleasure, I highly recommend just not even renting a car. UBER or LYFT is the way to go if you want to go from point A to point B, especially when this hotel charges $ 50 a day valet. I would not hesitate to stay here again if I ever need to stay near Pier 39 in the near future.

I really enjoyed staying here while we were vacationing in San Francisco. The hotel is nestled near fisherman’s wharf and within walking distance to numerous attractions like Pier 39 and Ghirardelli Square.
We walked into the Marriott and felt immediately as we were in a 5 star hotel. The lobby is immaculate and was dressed for the holiday season. Because we are Marriott Members we received free breakfast each morning and free high speed Wifi. That was a nice touch that showed that they appreciate our continued business.
Each afternoon we found cookies and infused water in the lobby. It was nice to grab a complimentary treat on our way to and from the hotel.
The rooms we spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. I slept like a baby. Refrigerators were in each room as well as a nice desk area.
The business center was disappointing as you had to pay for printing access and computer usage. You also have to pay a fee each night to park your vehicle in the garage.
The dining area was wonderful and we enjoyed our meals. Our waitress remembered us from dinner the night before and went out of her way to stop by our table to say hello during breakfast.
We would stay here hands down again next time we visit San Francisco.
