Harbor Court Hotel (San Francisco Bay Area, California) 1 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Harbor Court Hotel is the rare San Francisco hotel that evokes the the colorful, slightly gritty history of the Embarcadero. This stately Spanish Colonial Revival-style structure, built in 1926 across the street from the Ferry Building, was formerly an Army-Navy residence. Today the landmark is a stylish boutique hotel, but a range of details are reminders of its past, from the red-brick facade to the cheerful maritime-inspired color scheme." - Tablet Hotels

This cute boutique hotel is truly a hidden gem. Even basic motel prices in SF are disgustingly high, for the price this is a GREAT VALUE for the area. This hotel is clean and the location is convenient for sightseeing by foot. I thought the room was small but not overly so and aesthetic. The hotel and area felt secure for SF. And YES you can get a view of the bridge from your room if you book right. Check-in was smooth and during happy hour there were cookies for guests in the lobby. This a great place to stay for special events and celebrations as you can make special requests for the room at time of booking instead of calling ahead to make arrangements. Convenient and pricing is upfront. I would stay here again.

Not quite sure where all these bad review reviews are coming from, this isn't the four seasons, but at the same time and it's extremely nice hotel. The greeting I got at the front desk was great. The room is very well appointed. The bathroom is great with a really nice toiletries. The view was absolutely amazing. I thought the air-conditioning was a little bit loud. I thought the desk to work from was incredibly small and very uncomfortable. The coffee and creamer situation was not very good. The bed was incredibly comfortable All in all, a perfectly reasonable stay, with some really nice decor, and then incredibly nice staff.

My partner and I are in town celebrating our anniversary. This hotel is cute, clean, and in a perfect location. The front desk staff, Diana and Carlos, made sure to make this stay special and memorable. The waterfront room is cozy with an incredible view of the bay. I highly recommend staying at the Harbor Court Hotel and will definitely be returning.

Stayed here 3 times; great location, friendly staff, free continental breakfast. Reasonable price. But rooms and quite small (as are the beds) and my biggest complaint (being of a certain age) is that there are no grab bars in the shower.

Great location, incredibly friendly staff is what makes this hotel 5 stars. I had an issue with my car, and Javier was incredibly kind and helpful through a stressful situation. Truly went above and beyond and HE SHOULD BE PROMOTED. Javier is the best and made me want to return to this hotel for the level of service provided.

Very lovely stay! We came for Pride weekend and it was nice to be away from all the action but close enough to not miss out on anything. The employees - Noriel, Janelle, and Javier - were all very friendly and accommodating. We will certainly be back!

Room is quite small. The desk and chair were tucked into a corner behind a wall pillar so it was challenging to get in/out. Everything was clean and comfortable. Coffee and pastries in the morning are a nice touch. No toiletries or bathroom amenities though

This gem is so wonderful, it is right next to the Bay Bridge on the Embarcadero. The fireplace that illuminates the expansive lobby, whose walls are adorned with nostalgic pictures of San Francisco and invoking an array of sports themes. The front desk were very friendly and welcoming. I had reserved a standard room and when I entered I realized it was an inside room, with only a view of the back of a building and a/c ducts (I felt claustrophobic). I immediately called the front desk and asked if there were any water view rooms, Luis checked availability and said that for $60 extra per night that he could change it for me. When I got into the room, I was blown away, I felt like I entered into a dream, there were three windows overlooking the embarcadero, the bay bridge, people rushing to work, jogging with dogs in tow. The walk to the marketplace in the Ferry Building was wonderful! The hotel offers daily continental breakfast from 06:00-08:00. The coffee was spot on as were the delicious pastries. I met up with friends after attending a birthday party and I invited them into "MY" hotel, in the early evening. We landed a nice couch in front of the roaring fireplaces and were offered glasses of white or red wine. Carlos even came over to refill our glasses (that was stellar)! Kudos to a great crew Luis, Janelle, Diana and Carlos, they are jewels! My friends were ooohing and awing the room! I have 2 suggestions: 1) The bathtub/Shower could stand for a stool or a shelf 2) a nice bar height small cocktail table with 2 bar stools would be perfect against one of the windows, to enjoy coffee and pastries while overlooking the view! That's it I can't say enough! I'd like to christen room 522 "Cristina's room" Thank you

Another fantastic giants game day with Harbor Court hotel making it extra special. The last two years we've come here for my fiancé's birthday, which happens to be on a Giants game day. Every time, the Harbor Court hotel receptionists have made it extra special by giving us a birthday upgrade to a water view room. There's nothing quite like looking over that view after a long game day. Thank you to those folks that don't hesitate to make it an extra special birthday experience!! You have made two loyal guests!

I stayed at The Harbor Court Hotel late last year. This is a stunning boutique hotel on the San Francisco waterfront, featuring unobstructed views of the bay, the Bay Bridge, and Treasure Island. The hotel is adjacent to a state-of-the-art YMCA (open to guests), and the Harbor Court Hotel is within easy walking distance of the Ferry Building Marketplace, the Financial District, AT&T Park, the Moscone Convention Center, Union Square, and North Beach. The Golden Gate Bridge is around a 20-minutes drive away. While the rooms are small, they are clean and designed nicely. The rooms reflect a stylish decor with blue and gray tones throughout. All rooms have work desks and nice leather-backed chairs. My room had a not-so-swell view but as my OCA buddy Joyce W. noted in her review on 11/16/22, but we really were not in the room much. I would argue that in the two days, I was in S.F., I was in this room less than 8 hours (yeah, yah gurl was out in dem streets with her crew). The hotel provides breakfast coffee and donuts and unlimited nightly vino (both red and white). This hotel is definitely worth a revisit as it is in a prime location and offers top-notch hospitality. Additionally, this hotel is a great choice for both leisure travelers and business travelers alike. However, as rooms are small, this would not be an ideal choice for those with families.

Beautiful hotel with million dollar views of the bay. Perfect place for a romantic get away for any couples. Walking distance to great restaurants. I would recommend to everyone.

Stayed in a posh hotel with towels so thick I could barely shut my suitcase! Just kidding. Don't charge me for the towels. Harbor Court Hotel is the cutest, waterfront, boutique hotel. With amazing sunrise/sunset views of the Bay Bridge and a short walk to the fantastic Ferry Building while also being nestled cozily among other great eateries and bars, I can see why this Embarcadero hotel is so loved. The rooms are on the cozier side which I don't mind. My window view showcased vents and the rooftop so it wasn't as fun but hey, while in SF, you should only be using the room for sleep and to shower anyways. The walls are on the thinner side and if you have my luck, your neighbor will have a baby that enjoys waking up at 3am and 4am and will wake you up as well! The only complaint I really have is that the heater is super loud. I was torn between sleeping with no heat and freezing in my sleep or turning the heater on and waking up every time it kicks on or off. The staff here is truly amazing. The guy that worked the front desk on Saturday night was especially kind. Cheers for the vino! They also have a roaring fireplace which I loved. A fireplace in the lobby is so underrated. As a desert rat, I really enjoyed sitting by the fireplace to defrost. That San Francisco coolness chills me to the bones! Free morning breakfast of doughnuts and nightly 5PM wine hour in the lobby daily --- AMAZING!

Hotel right on the waterfront in San Francisco near the ferry building. Great location within walking distance to everything. The rooms are quite small but the staff is extremely attentive / excellent. Love the touches like the donut wall in the morning. Beautiful fashionable, old style lobby.

Stayed at this hotel this past weekend and absolutely loved the location, it was truly perfect and close to many of the things on our list, including the Ferry Building, exploratorium, and one of our dinner spots. They have a cute continental breakfast in the mornings with apples. Pastries/croissants, donuts, and yogurt. They also have bottles of apple and orange juice.. really strange there was no water bottles. Anyway, they have bikes you can use (though we didn't have time to), a daily wine hour, and access to ymca gym.. all of which we did not have the time to partake in unfortunately. The doors to the hotel lock at night, opening with your room key, as do the elevators 24/7 which was an added sense of comfort. They were able to store our baggage before we checked in since we got in early, and also receive room service from the Japanese restaurant next door which has easy access from the hotel too. The room has a different layout which we didn't mind. The only dislike we had was that the windows were adjacent to windows from what seemed like another hotel.

Don't be like me. Be like the cool kids. I arrived at The Harbor Court after a six-hour flight from the other side of the continent, a lengthy BART ride, and a several-block walk with luggage in tow. I probably wasn't operating with all synapses firing. I rolled up to the doors, only to discover they're locked. Had I gotten the address wrong? No, there's a sign on the side of the building proclaiming the name of the hotel. Fortunately, after many a befuddled turn, a fellow opened the door for me and asked what I was looking for. I explained I was seeking The Harbor Court and he confirmed I was in the right place. Immediately around the corner, I found the reception counter and was promptly checked in without incident. Each time I returned to the hotel over the next 24 hours, I experienced the same puzzling scenario: locked doors and no obvious attendant waiting to usher in hotel guests. Eventually, I did figure out that I could swipe myself in with my room key. It wasn't until much later, upon returning to the hotel with some colleagues who were also boarding there, that one of them pointed out we should turn down Steuart rather than continuing over to Embarcadero. I commented, "Oh, I didn't realize you could enter from this street," which no one seemed to react to (probably out of equal confusion). As it turns out... the main entrance to the hotel is actually on Steuart, something I would have realized much earlier on had I looked at the address, rather than blindly following the pin on my map. Or, y'know, picked up on the context clues of the locked doors and absent greeters. Oops. On the upside, I got in many extra steps and maximized my consumption of the beautiful Bay Bridge views. Aside from my erstwhile meanderings, this was a fine hotel if you're spending the vast majority of your time not in your room. The location isn't far from public transit and near our office in SoMa. That's about all I offer to recommend it. My room was small to the point where there wasn't space for a workstation. I briefly tried to work on a nightstand while sitting on the bed. It didn't go well. I had a lovely view of a wall... and possibly into other hotel room windows. A colleague spoke about watching TV, but her room setup must have been different from mine. The TV in my room hung above the closet nook, and I would've had to put on my glasses AND perch at the end of my bed to see much. Lastly, my bath towel might have been a cousin to a Brillo pad. I did not lack for exfoliation, and not the good kind. The most luxurious aspect of the hotel was the Malin+Goetz toiletries. You better believe I slathered that lotion on guuud to make up for taking off extreme quantities of epidermis after every shower.

I stayed at Harbor Court Hotel during a work trip to SF. It was a great location, walking distance to the office and plenty of coffee shops and restaurants in the area. It's also so close to the water! Parking in SF is tough, but they have a valet option right outside the hotel and it sounds like metered parking is also available- I opted for the less stressful, but more expensive valet option and I'm happy I did. The valet staff was also really nice and remembered me when I picked up my car at the end of the trip. From the moment I stepped into the hotel I was welcomed in by staff. I arrived around 8:30am and wasn't expecting a room to be ready until the afternoon, but they were able to get me in a room right away. It was so nice to be able to drop off my things before heading to the office. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. I wish it had a mini fridge to keep drinks cold, or store some leftovers. I saw it listed on the amenities, but didn't see one in the room (maybe I didn't look hard enough?). I thought it was a nice touch that they have donuts, coffee and tea in the mornings. I'm not a sweet breakfast person, but I took advantage of the coffee and it was just what I needed in the morning. If I have another business trip, or even a quick overnight in the city, this will definitely be the first spot I look at for a room.

We stayed in this hotel the weekend after Thanksgiving for a romantic getaway. It is the best place in SF so far for location and service. The only issue was that we booked the City View room online, and when we checked in, the room overlooked the backs of other rooms. I went to the front desk to complain about it. The people at the front desk were very friendly and understood our complaint. Raven at the front desk was very nice and upgraded us to Bayview, overlooking the Bay Bridge, and we absolutely loved it. A month later (right before the New Year), we went back with the family. Online reservations, 2 rooms, City View, same issue: both rooms were overlooking the backs of the backs of other rooms. I asked to upgrade again; this time, I paid $40 per room for Bayview. Overall, except for that inconvenience, the experience was great both times; the price was great, the team members were friendly, and the service was great. I would come back, but I will have to be aware of what I'm getting when I check in.

I stayed here because I ran a race in SF and needed a place to stay for the night. This hotel was conveniently located by the start and finish line. From the start, service was awesome! Front desk, valet and housekeeping were all gracious and attentive. The room is small but it had the basic necessities. Which is all I can ask for. Room was clean and the bathroom was really nice. View wasn't the best. Bunch of buildings. There was a view of the Embarcadero which was nice. Bed and pillows were super comfy. Although I like a little firmness. I'm surprised I didn't get a sprained neck. I would come back here if I ever need to stay in the city overnight.

Amazing stay! Janelle was very friendly and helpful. The views are gorgeous of the bay (see photos), as well as the interior with its art deco design. The continental breakfast was wonderful to have next to the warm fire. Location was nice next to the Ferry Building and MoMA. Totally will stay here again.

By law, you have to provide invoice and detailed breakdown. BBB will be in touch for 2 times of refusal. You can't treat a customer like this and destroy the comfort of stay for 1 page of print. Disappointing.

Harbor Court is one of our go to places for a romantic getaway in the city. The prices can fluctuate quite a bit so look for opportunities when it's a bit slower. We always stay in a bay view room and it's absolutely worth it to sit in bed and look out the window for great views of the bay bridge and all of the ships and sailboats that pass. The rooms are small but very comfortable and the lobby is a great place to sit by the fire and enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Also, harbor court is located across the street from the ferry building so there are many food and shopping options very close.

Best value for its location! It's set right on the Embarcadero steps away from the Ferry Building, and a stroll from Market Street. The lobby is very charming and elegant. Check in was a breeze. The rooms are SF size (small), but extremely clean and updated. The bathroom is tiny but bright, and not a sign of mold or mildew in sight (a pet peeve of mine). I love the happy hour that they have in the evenings, and the donuts and coffee in the morning...not just your standard Krispie Kreme donuts, but the old school pink box donuts (including the really dense cake donuts)! Little touches like that makes a great stay an exceptional stay. One thing that I was disappointed about was that access to the YMCA gym next door was limited to weekdays. Since we were there on a weekend, we weren't able to avail of the gym amenity even though we paid for the resort fee all the same. As a consolation, it would have been nice to get a complimentary bike rental or more booze, yaknow? I guess that's the only bummer for me. Otherwise, it was such a great value for a one-night stay. You will be hard pressed to find a pristine clean room in an optimal location for their price. Would recommend!

Such a simple and quaint business style hotel near the water which I really enjoyed. There's a nice YMCA right next door which is really convenient. The rooms were a bit small, but I didn't need much space since I was by myself. The hotel was SUPER clean which was refreshing. They even have a happy hour featuring complimentary wine. I would definitely stay again if I'm in the area.

When it comes to location, this hotel is winning! Located just steps away from the Ferry Building, you've got convenience on your side when it comes to proximity to restaurants, bars, shopping and entertainment options. While I know that locals may consider the area touristy, for a true tourist I think it would be pretty enjoyable to be so close to the excitement of the weekend farmers markets and gorgeous views of the water. This hotel also received a little facelift during the pandemic. I think I may have stayed here years and years ago but did not remember it to look as cute as it does now. The lobby isn't grand but is cozy, warm and welcoming. My room was rather small, but I have zero complaints about that as it satisfied my basic needs (which was really just a safe, clean + comfortable space for me to shower and lay my head at night!) Overall, a cute and convenient hotel that's inviting, comfortable and reasonably priced!

The views of the Bay Bridge from our room was just gorgeous. Unfortunately there is really no way to enjoy the view except by standing in front of the window. This is an historic building and they are not allowed to change the exterior so I'm guessing the balcony or roof top bar aren't coming to the rescue of these gorgeous views we all want to enjoy, that being said this hotel is in a perfect location almost directly across from the Ferry Building so if your a tourist you simply cannot beat this location. Continue down the road from the Ferry Building then stroll on down to Pier 39 which all tourist want to see all the shops and restaurants oh and those noisy Sea Lions lol there lots of great shopping in SF just not Pier 39. Keep on going you have Fisherman's Wharf and ton of gift shops and let's not forget Ghirardelli chocolates. The hotel was clean, service was good and quick starting with the Valets and check-in our room was clean had a semi industrial vibe but small and bathroom and shower was all small, but clean and as far as I'm concerned they hit all the marks for our weekend in the City aka San Francisco if you're a local you never say San Francisco you say I'm going to the City this weekend lol just a Lil footnote lol We were here for our friends birthday celebration weekend and they live 8 minutes from our hotel it's always about Location Location Location Cheers all SYOY

WOW! I reserved this place for my birthday & it was amazing. It was my first time using Hotwire to book a hotel and they did not disappoint I called and spoke to Nar to confirm the booking. He was extremely nice and very efficient. Customer service was nothing but amazing! I had mentioned it was my birthday and he made sure I was taken care of. Even had a little birthday card and some snacks! Thank you so much! Our room was perfect. It was facing the bay bridge, I pretty much stared at the bridge the entire stay check in was easy, and they do have free valet!! This place rocks! Valet ran late until 11pm on a Sunday. I'm very impressed. We were told about we can use the bikes for free and they had a certain time to enjoy some wine in the evening and coffee in the AM. I'll definitely be back!! Thank you Harbor Court and Nar for taking good care of us. You've made our stay in SF memorable. We will be back !

Nice location and views from rooms that have views, but dramatically expensive for tiny rooms, and not well run. I told them my son would be coming in late at night, and to give him a key to the Penthouse when he came in. I registered his name with them and they wrote it down (somewhere!) to make sure they would not wake me up in the middle of the night to verify he was supposed to be in that room. But sure enough, when he arrived, they called and woke us up in the middle of the night, because they couldn't find the record of who he was (and maybe were profiling him). Very unprofessional, and wrecked our one very expensive night of sleep. Go elsewhere.

What could improve? Well lets see 1. Have the room(especially for the "king" size bed one) be equipped with auto on/off lights. Cant believe a hotel of such a type exists in the most "tech savvy" valley 2. Have the phone in the room be working! I dont care about the very average looking bay view of a room if incant even get hold of the front desk or any services the hotel so boldly described. 3. Speaking of the "concierge " aka the "annoying front desk" be a little more respectful to the folks who are having a difficult time in getting in touch with the cleaning staff or the front desk. I had to call the hotel number only to be told "yea come down and then tell us what you need?" Are you for real? Wont ever recommend using their services. Best to say "all talk and no service". Do not come to this place.

Well, this was a very pleasant surprise! I lived in San Francisco, for many, many years, before retiring elsewhere, so have long been familiar with the many hotel options in the City. I've stayed at many of them, when visiting over the last few years, but wanted to try a "new neighborhood" this time. It was delightful. The location couldn't be better. Right at the waterfront, the neighborhood is full of spectacular new buildings, even though the Harbor Court is in an historic one, and the area is vibrant, with tons of friendly folks walking dogs, jogging and having a good time. The area is full of bustling restaurants. The views are legendary. The hotel itself, a boutique-style one, is charming. The lobby, where complimentary breakfast and evening wine are served, is warm and cozy and a great place to strike up conversations with other visitors. Many of the clientele seemed to be European tourists. Rooms are on the smaller side, but spotlessly clean, comfortable, modern, and well equipped. (There are plenty of charge outlets.) The rooms are very quiet, too. Staff were wonderfully friendly and accommodating. I traveled with my Labradoodle and they made my guy feel very welcome indeed, even remembering his name every time we came through the lobby. (There is a great dog friendly parklet right across the street, btw). Like most places, there is a pet fee, but it was actually a little less onerous than at some other venues. Valet parking worked well and was priced much as it is elsewhere. Unlike some other hotels, however, they allow in-and-out privileges, which can be quite handy. My only disappointment is that I saw no evidence of a bellman. It would have been nice to have had some assistance with my luggage, since there are stairs from the auto entrance and I was trying to juggle a dog at the same time. Sadly, this amenity, though, appears to be disappearing from the hotel scene everywhere. We had a great stay and will be back!

If you enjoy getting scammed, this is the place. They charged a significant extra for City View, which essentially is looking at another building and a great number of industrial-sized A/Cs (see attached pictures). I don't know what the cheaper rooms with worse view than these were looking at-- probably no windows at all. Overall, this hotel disappointed even my lowest expectations. The service I received made my entire experience disappointing, especially the staffs' lack of willingness to be helpful and forthcoming; they were barely doing their minimum. So, find somewhere else to stay, because this hotel is not worth $600+ per night I paid, and also not $150.

Not sure if I should let everyone know that this is the best hotel in SF. Get a view of the bay bridge room. They're small but pretty and the view is mesmerizing. Staff is always exceptional, especially Janelle, she was so lovely:)

I stayed at Harbor Court for the past two business trips and both stays have been absolutely remarkable! Luis checked me in in January and Jessica checked me in in February. Both welcomed me with the warmest service and went out of their way to ensure I had the best, most comfortable stay possible. Throughout the stay, they remembered me and smiled and waved as I walked into and out of the hotel. Their service is so memorable that I had to take the time to write this review and will make Harbor Court my priority hotel going forward. I told my coworkers about my experience and all three canceled their reservations at other hotels to stay at Harbor Court. They did not regret it and you won't either! Thank you so much, Luis and Jessica, for all you've done to make my experience so pleasurable. Side note - the rooms are clean, sophisticated and comfortable. The view is also unbeatable! Van Cook

Loved my stay here. However, beware that you will be charged $40+ per night way after your stay as an "amenity fee"! This fee is not included in the nightly rate, and it's in very small print!

A historical boutique hotel, Harbor Court is such a warm and welcoming space. Right on the Embarcadero, it is close to restaurants, the pier, and sites to see.

This is the dirtiest and most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. Carpets and sheets were just gross. The staff tried to overcharge me despite that I had a reservation from booking.com. They actually were arguing about it. Stay away from this hotel its not worth it.

Stayed here for a one-night staycation after working out of the SF office and so glad that I did. I booked last minute on hotel tonight. I really liked the hotel. It's got a great location overlooking the bay bridge and a very cool room. The bed was comfortable, the shower and bath products were great, and the noise isolation was decent even though my room was directly across from the elevators. The resort fee gets you a 5pm wine hour, a ymca gym pass, and morning drip coffee and tea. So it's not a total scam like a few of these other places. I would stay again!

We found out we had covid the day we were supposed to stay here, and we made the mistake of not going. We assumed the hotel did not want us there and would either refund our money or give us an equivalent night's stay at some point in the future, but instead we lost $500. So if you have covid, make sure you go anyway because you'll lose your money otherwise.

Great location. Great views of the bay bridge. Near a ton of great yummy restaurants. We stayed here before seeing at a show at the bill gram. Loved the easy check in process, easy parking, & the clean and up to date rooms. Great shower water pressure. Everything was great! Will stay here again!

This hotel is warm and inviting. From the front desk to the room attendants/housekeepers this place doesn't miss the opportunity to show you are special. Very clean rooms with super comfortable beds and spacious lounge/lobby areas. Spectacular views are just another plus. This hotel has what the giant hotels don't, quality staff.

Worst hotel I've ever been to! The room is so small, there is no space at all. There is nothing in the hotel, no restaurant, no place to hang out. They were supposed to have a pool but it was closed! Nothing at all! and they charged me almost $500 for one night! I do not recommend, I will never return to this place.

My partner and I have been looking for an ocean view place that didn't completely break the bank. We were so happy to have found this place through BayArea_Buzz on IG! They have numerous special offers on their website which really helped when narrowing down our search for an overnight, quick staycation. Another plus was the location itself. Right off The Embarcadero, not noisy at all, and just down the street from Pier 39 or Oracle Park. So many shops near by. Valet was super convenient, included Wine Hour was such a cool plus, and the fact that we had access to the YMCA next door was awesome! Oh, can't forget about the view!! We watched a beautiful sunrise, then grabbed coffee and donuts from the lounge area. Super inviting area and the employees there were so amazing! Thank you Habor Court for your hospitality and we'll definitely be back!

I love the location and vice of this place. Super chill and welcoming with a beautiful lobby area. Rooms are nicely decorated & decently maintained. They use Malik & Goetz body/hair products, which were new to me...and DELICIOUS!! I promptly bought stocking stuffers for the whole fam after using these products in our room. Staff were very accommodating and efficient. We grabbed a bottle of wine from the 'vending' in the lobby and needed a wine bottle opener, which they gave us to use. There are no coffee pots in the rooms. You'll have to head to the lobby, where folks gather mixer style, while grabbing coffee and donuts from the peg board. There's a Japanese restaurant serving sushi. Ext door we opted to walk down to the Waterbar, but the Japanese place was busy & looked good. Linens on the bed were cozy & soft and, most important, significant enough to keep you warm when somebody else in the room likes to sleep in a meat locker. Our view was of other people's windows, so make sure to verify what your view is if you pay for an upgrade or don't want to play a game of 'I spy' with the neighbors. Overall, a lovely hotel with great staff & amenities.

This hotel is bomb! The reception staff were all friendly in the "not so fake" way. They felt genuinely nice. That feeling extends to the auto valet staff. Everyone was just very nice and light. Our hotel room was very small but clean. Our view of the bay bridge was stunning. The bathroom was also very small but it smelled clean, no musty or moldy odors. The shower stall was also clean. No mildew stains anywhere. Their free coffee was good. It's not the tasteless coffee most hotels serve. We did not partake their free wine in the late afternoon coz we were out and about. I will definitely stay here again. Cons? We only stayed for one night so I don't have a lot of observations. Valet parking fee was $65+tax. The TV did not offer sign ins to streaming apps. I wish I was able to login to netflix or something. Like most hotels, they have this "resort fee" that they charge for wifi and free bikes to use. Useless things that I do not use and does not have any interest in. I wish they (hotel industry) remove these fees but that's a whole lot of wishful thinking.

So, this is late at night and so maybe I have less patience. But USB ports that don't work, no plug at the work desk, a light on the desk that does not work properly s not a great start. Maybe I will add more thoughts to this as I stay a little longer - but a tough start!!!

Cute lobby. Everything else is the pits. The room is smaller than even the tiniest rooms in Tokyo and New York. I've never seen a room like it in SF. And the wifi is not functional if you have any type of security on your device (such as that installed by a corporate IT department). I was informed that "management knows about this but that there's no solution". WTF. This is NOT a business hotel.

Don't book on an app! They'll double charge you. I stayed there on Friday night and booked in advance on trip.com. When I checked in, the gentleman told me he needed my card to book a $150 incidentals fee which would be refunded. Well, they charged me $331, and refunded $150. So I paid for my room twice. I've been told multiple times that the charge would be refunded, wouldn't go through, you name it, but it's still there, nearly a week later. My credit card company is now involved. Just a giant headache. This hotel is very dishonest.

If you are a light to moderate sleeper the heater/ac is extremely loud. Think I only manage 4 hours of sleep each night. The hotel is super cute, rooms are very small but clean and nicely decorated. The staff are amazing. If I was not so tired I would give 5 stars. To the hotel, please spend the money replace the old heater/ac units. Reminded me of the loud old school motel heaters from the 70's and 80's.

Would give this five stars except for a few things: no coffee maker in the room and a $45 charge for two tylenol. Otherwise it is a great place to stay only a few steps from the ferry building. Rooms are small, but very functional. Will stay here again.

This is my new favorite hotel in SF! We were blown away from the moment we arrived. The customer service was incredible and the front desk agent, Stephanie, was the sweetest and gave us the best customer service we've ever received. She was super friendly, thoughtful, and went above and beyond, making our birthday trip so memorable! The views from the jet-setter room were breathtaking! From the early morning sunrise to the colorful sunsets and twinkling bridge lights at night, it felt like something out of a movie and we didn't want to shut the blinds. The prime location can't be beat, right on the embarcadero and the ferry building is across the street! Even though it's surrounded by so many great restaurants and shops, it was surprisingly quiet and we got a good night's sleep every night which is unheard of in the city. The bed was very comfortable and I liked that they gave so many pillows. We also loved that they had Malin+Goetz products. We appreciated the touches like the complimentary gym next door, donuts every morning, wine happy hour in the evenings, and really nice bikes for riding along the embarcadero to the farmers market which was so fun (even strangers were complimenting our bikes). It was super quick to get an uber to the hotel and the valet was also friendly and prompt. I liked that the front of the hotel was on a side street so it was quiet without much noise and traffic. Lastly, there was an amazing Japanese restaurant attached to the hotel with a great happy hour. We've been to many hotels around the country and this one really had it all!

This spot was great! I really enjoyed my stay here and wish I was here longer than just one day! They have a complementary wine evening from said time to said time which is nice to mingle with other guests. It was also my boyfriend's bday weekend so I got us a queen bed with a view (they had run out of king beds with view). I was only disappointed about one thing. I had called in advance to the hotel to let them know it was my boyfriend's birthday and they said they will take care of everything before I get there. I have seen other images on yelp where they write special cards with the birthday person's name and all or champagne. We had a bottle of wine with m&ms which I am thankful for don't get me wrong but there was no card and that card would have just been perfect.... I'm an event planner so when things don't go as planned for me I get really frustrated. Maybe next time I'll call a day before to remind them? I do plan to come back because everything else was on point - customer service, the room, the view- loved it all.

What a wonderful boutique hotel in Embarcadero! The staff was lovely, the rooms were clean and quiet. I saw some complaints that the rooms are small, but honestly this didn't bother me much as I was solo. If I had one complaint, it would be that there isn't enough light in the rooms ... only a few small lamps. I would definitely return.

The amount of fees and charges is ridiculous. I've never stayed at a hotel that charged so much and yet disclosed so little initially. You have to make due diligence to find these fees on their website. In addition, their prices per day fluctuate...never lower though, always a bit more.

This hotel makes you feel welcomed! They do a wonderful job in all areas. Valet is kind polite and caring. The front desk is also extremely helpful and friendly. The price and location are unbelievable! If you were going to San Francisco definitely be sure to stay here!

My Girlfriend and I love our weekend trips all over. We were in San Francisco at the beginning of the year and stayed at the Sheraton super close by the water. On this trip, we decided to try Harbor Court. Definitely not the same. From the outside it right away have me the impression of a business building that was probably converted. As you walk in, the front desk and lobby were very nice and upscale in decor. The man doing the valet was awesome and should teach the rest of the staff how to treat customers / guests. The front desk customer service just simply lacked. The salt on the wound was the size of the room. It was late when we walked up to our room. It was like walking into a closet. The room was approximately 10ft by 13ft with an additional 10ft by 5ft inside the restroom. The room was just big enough for the bed, one night stand, and a small desk. You also don't get a closet, you get what looks like a portable Ikea closet. And our view was that of the AC units from next door.
