SkyStar Wheel Fisherman’s Wharf

Very touristy. Breakfast - not great, noisy, metal chairs scraping constantly against tile floors is not music to my ears first thing in the morning. Scolded for attempting to bring a cup of coffee to my room. Staff seem ready to overreact and escalate for bring a cup out of the dining area. “NOT HYGIENIC!” Ridiculous. The “commissary” is no better. I asked to borrow the bottle opener and the woman working told me I had to buy one! A bottle opener. Staff seem unhappy and willing to die on a hill for whatever cause they’re put in charge of.

This place is well kept but it’s so so so loud bc of street traffic and it being at a bus stop — the buses talk at each stop for blind riders. There is no in room AC — there are no vents and they simply give you a fan. And you need to keep the windows open. What a total rip off. False advertising about it having AC — which is why I booked it. $600 a night for an old, tiny (but clean) room with no AC and a bathroom the size of a powder room. Thankfully my husband and I are thin or else we would not have fit into the shower!

The check-in process was seamless even though I arrived around 1am after a long drive. Parking was closed, but there was other affordable parking nearby (fifth and mission/Yerba Buena Garage). Got into my room - everything was clean. I only wish the shampoo/soap dispensers were easier to dispense (I had a room with a bathroom included). Other than that, the stay was perfect for good sleep.
