1. For us, we preferred to dine in Little Italy as we found the Wharf too big, brash, touristy and tacky (with a sprinkling of homeless and drunks wandering around) restaurant-wise it's probably great with kids, but as we were a couple we preferred the smaller more intimate restaurants up on Columbus.

2. That area is tacky tourists galore - so be prepared.

"just fair - "free breakfast" is an endless choice of processed fats & carbs " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/5/2012 Vote

3. Fisherman's Wharf is the seaside touristy spot selling the usual souvenirs and tacky goods but also a good point to stay in and venture out from in San Francisco.

4. The Fishermans Wharf area is quite tacky.

5. FW itself is somewhat 'tacky' and 100% focused on tourism, but the hotel is far enough to be away from that, yet close enough to walk there.

6. Location - Perfect, was a very short stroll to the heart of Fishermans Wharf, and although tacky, I did enjoy it and all tourists have to go.

7. Points for concern: - Parking is valet only and $32 + tax per night which is a rip off - Staff had a take it or leave it attitude - Fishermans Wharf is a tacky blemish on the face of a beatiful city - I would never stay there again - Hotel is in a noisy locationMy recommendation is that you stay at another hotel out of the area.

8. A concentration of very tacky souvenir stores and one-too-many colourful characters spoil the area although we still felt happy that we`d chose the Wharf as our base.

9. I thought we were the only family who thought that Fishermans Wharf was a tacky Blackpool.

10. It is convenient for all things touristy so I would have no problem staying here again, its close to cable cars, f-line, some useful bus routes and walking distance of most central places and felt safe at night, but just round the corner it gets so tacky.
