• Location, and the beautiful lobby.
• Very small rooms, we kept bumping into each other!

“The hotel is so close to the piers and the Ferry Building. A fabulous place to stroll! Lobby was beautiful, a number of cozy, comfortable areas to relax with wine in the eve, coffee in the morn. Nice bedding and a 12:00 check out.”

• Awesome lobby and well appointed room.
• Smell of urine on street outside.

“The Harbor Court Hotel is an interesting boutique hotel located on the waterfront near the ferry building, a short walk from AT&T Park and other downtown attractions. It is a great place for a romantic getaway or for a business traveler looking for something more than the usual chain hotel.”

• The location, the friendly staff, cleanliness, attractive rooms.
• The first room we were assigned had a wall to wall mirror, which I found unsettling and asked for another which they happily agreed to.

“I loved the location of this hotel. It was easy to walk or use public transportation to get around town. We took the ferry into the city and had a short walk to our hotel. The cable car lines were close, and we could also easily catch the bus or the bart. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was small, but very nicely appointed and comfortable. We could have brought our dog! They would have helped us arranged doggie day care for the times we couldn't be with him. I loved the Aveda products in the bathroom and all the pampering touches. I was traveling with my daughter for the weekend, but would love to visit again with my husband for a relaxing city get away! I did not attend the wine tasting or get our evening cookies and coco, but I love these touches. It sets it apart for me from other hotels I've stayed at in San Francisco, including the Hyatt down the street. I've found my favorite hotel!”

“Very small room, converted from old YMCA building. 4th floor has terrible view of AC units. AC not very cold.”

• Cookies and milk hour, wine hour, friendly staff, good location.
• Parking around the area is very expensive if you don't get street parking. Rooms are a little small.

“The possible cons (but, were strongly outweighed by the pros) small room (big enough for us since we really spent most of our time outside of the room) very poor view (5 feet to an opposing wall) vagrants sleeping on the unused lobby door (but this is common in SF) A/C was broken the first night, but was fixed the next day when we alerted the staff.”

• Wine hour and cookies and milk at night.
• Extremely small rooms but nicely laid out and amenities made up for it.

“While the rooms are exceedingly small, the atmosphere in the hotel made up for it. Great location, nice wine hour and good cookies and milk at night.”

• Location-Décor.
• Size of the rooms-too small.

“This boutique hotel was a former YMCA dorm bldg-which explains the small rooms. The decor in the room was very nice, and the beds were comfortable. One block south of Market Street, with quick access to the "F" Line Street car which takes you to Fishermans Wharf and the Castro?”

• Very nice and close to the bay and A/F lines.

“The room was gorgeous, staff was courteous, and environment was quiet at night so sleep was no problem.”

• Staff very friendly and informative, very attractive common area, handy location for us.
• Room was smaller than I imagined, and sort of ugly view out the window.

“See above. The staff was great. Great location for out-of-towners going to see the Giants play at & T Park!”

• Excellent location. Beautiful lobby. Helpful, friendly staff.
• The room was beyond small. I'm not sure how they even got the bed in there.

“This is a very nice hotel in an excellent location. The room was very clean, and had everything, but was so small you literally couldn't turn around. The clearance between the shower door and the towel rack was an engineering marvel. It was the thickness of a dollar bill. For a single traveler the rating moves up a notch, but for even the most loving couple it's tight for two.”

• Great location, creatively decorated, friendly helpful staff.
• Really small rooms, our windows were 10 feet away wall of building next to us, so no view at all.

“This was a great hotel. It's located one block south of Pier 2 in the Embarcadero neighborhood, where there are artisan booths on Saturday and Sunday (maybe weekdays. I don't know since we weren't there past Sunday) as well as a really nice Saturday morning Farmer's Market. You can catch the PCC streetcar, which runs along the water's edge, to get to all the other piers, including Fisherman's wharf for $2.50. It's also affiliated with the YMCA next store so you have free access to the gym. The rooms are clean and colorfully decorated, but really small. As the hotel faces the San Francisco, Oakland Bay Bridge, you either get a spectacular view of the Bay and the bridge, or a view of the wall of the building next door right outside your window, which is what we got. I'd recommend it for couples and business travelers, but not for families purely because of the small room size.”

• The wine hour in the evening & warm cookies before bed.
• Room was very small.

“Great location. Small room. Comfortable bed. Really enjoyed the extras - like a complimentary wine hour and warm cookies & milk at night. Free Wi-Fi is another nice perk. Pet friendly!”

• The people.
• Homeless people on steps outside; outrageous parking prices.

“This place is just awesome, Im nervous to tell anyone else as I have told more and more people it has become more and more popular and it is a small place; soon they will not have room for me!.”

• Location.
• Teeny tiny rooms. Felt like a closet converted to a room.

“The hotel is clean and in a good location. Our room was a double size bed and barely enough room to turn around.”

• We loved the proximity of the hotel to the waterfront and the free wine and beer every evening.
• The rooms were small but that is common in San Francisco.

“We stayed at the Harbor Court Hotel for a weekend getaway. It was exactly what we were hoping for. I have traveled to SF many times and have experienced small rooms even at 4 star hotels there. Every evening the hotel offers free wine and beer (can't be a bad thing!). The rooms have a modern design with a plasma screen TV. It is only a short walk to the Ferry Building and attractions of Pier 39 and Union Square.”

• Classy atmosphere, outstanding location, and friendly atmosphere.
• Allows pets. Rooms rather small. Wine and beer served in lobby at cocktail hour are not very good quality.

“For convenient, superb accommodation, try the harbor court hotel, located at San Francisco's embarcadero, a stone's throw from the ferry building and within easy walking distance of fisherman's wharf, union square, and various downtown sites. Rooms are small but nicely appointed, the hotel is sparkling clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful.”
