The Suites at Fisherman's Wharf

We just got back from a 5 day stay with our three kids and I must say it is the BEST location in San Francisco, especially with kids! We could walk to anywhere on Fishermans Wharf, and took the electric or cable cars everywhere else (ATT Park, Union Square, Chinatown). Buy a 3 or 7 day pass to save money on the muni system. With a family, a hotel room truly does not work for a comfortable, restful stay, thus the need for a condo (they have one and two bedroom units). You can buy food at Walgreens or Trader Joes and use the fridge and microwave, in a hotel there is no such option, AND A HOTEL ROOM COSTS MORE, trust me we stayed at the Hilton last year and paid more for a hotel room! The view from the rooftop deck is amazing, you see the entire bay! People posting comments need to remember San Fran is an old city, thus ANY condo or hotel is older, but you cannot pay enough for the location, location, location, especially a condo vs. a hotel room! We are picky timeshare owners but for the LOCATION ALONE, this place gets a high rating. The Franciscan Restaurant on the wharf is the best food for the price and location, even with kids.

If not for the location this would be a one star. The 5 star ratings must be from owners. This is not a 4 or 5 star resort! Don't get duped. Way overpriced.

A converted apartment building. The units were rundown and unexciting. I don't know how it received a 5 star rating. The 1 bedroom unit had a partial ktichen, 2 burners, a microwave and a refrigerator. Like many Shell Vacation properties, there are no on site activities. Location is the best thing about this resort, but I would have preferred to stay in a surronding hotel, for a more comfortable bed and a more spacious bathroom. It was too windy to go to the rooftop.

Beautiful rooftop views of the Bay! Near the Wharf, which is great. The 2 bedroom unit was spacious . . . plenty of room to roam. Friendly staff!

If you want to peruse the sights of Fisherman's Wharf and all that it offers, The Suite's is extremely convenient! The living room alone, is bigger than a deluxe room at a 4 star in the same area. I like luxury, and while the furnishing do not include "Frette" linens, it's a very comfortable and well appointed property. The rooftop deck allows you to capture unobstructed views of Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge. I stayed there in July and didn't need air conditioning, SF weather rarely gets above 80 in the summer and usually dips in the mid 50's by sundown. Front desk staff was very helpful in pointing me to where I wanted to get to, storing luggage et al. I have stayed and will stay again!
