What guests think

Travelodge by Wyndham by Fisherman's Wharf draws consistent praise for its walkable, central location near the piers and cable cars, and many guests highlight friendly front desk staff and decent value compared with pricier nearby hotels.

Rooms are generally small and basic in an older, motel-style property; several reviews mention traffic noise, creaky floors, and maintenance issues like broken fixtures or leaks. Cleanliness is mixed, with many noting tidy rooms and daily housekeeping but others reporting stained carpets, mold, or missed cleaning on arrival. On-site parking exists but is very limited and paid, and there is no elevator. A practical, no-frills base if you prioritize location over amenities.

The advertisement indicated parking. When I arrived there was no parking on the location and was told that I would have to park on the street. I cancelled my reservation and found a Courtyard nearby with better facilities. Will never use Travelodge.

Staff was great room was just not what I expected from a Wyndham hotel. Bed was very comfy and it was quieter than I expected. BUT… The doorway was broken in the bathroom. The sink faucet was loose and an attempted fix with 3 inches of caulk. No elevator and HORRIBLE parking lot. It’s a great location, close to the wharf so my fault for not researching better

This property is walkable to the Taylor St cable car turntable and to the Fisherman's warf. We also walked to the pier where the tour boats for Alcatraz leave from. Parking is cheaper than anything else I saw in the area and safe. I read where some of the public lots had break-in problems. Parking spaces are limited.

Great service. Had a delayed flight and didn’t arrive until 1:30am, called ahead of time to let the worker know. Had no issues getting checked in. Room was clean, had a smell but didn’t notice after being in the room for awhile. Coffee in the main lobby. Parking was limited but wasn’t busy so we had no issues. Was $25 plus tax each night for parking. We had an early excursion day of checkout and was able to pick up our car at 1pm.

This hotel is clean and the housekeeping is excellent but it’s an older hotel so if you’re going to be out and about all day and just need a clean comfortable place to sleep it’s great! It’s right in front of a busy intersection but there are tons to do in walking distance. Only a 10 to 12 minute walk from fisherman’s warf and 25 minute walk to china town and little Italy.

When I booked this property it had good reviews about the area and cleanliness. I didn’t realize it was more of a drive up motel. We were on the first floor (which I didn’t love because anyone could just walk up and try the door handle) but we were also tucked into a corner. It was a pretty good area with walking distance to the wharf, Chinatown, and Lombard street. The room smelled clean, had clean sheets, a large tv, a large shower, a microwave, and a mini fridge. Sink outside the bathroom. The beds were a little hard but comfortable enough. The only thing I didn’t love was the carpet had a few questionable stains that looked like blood… otherwise it was a great stay for one night. We forgot toothpaste which was free of charge from the front desk and they had chewy brand granola bars from the front desk which made a quick breakfast on the way out.

Good location near Fisherman Wharf and Pier 39. Very few parking spaces but we got there early in the morning and left the car before checking in. Very basic room but clean and fairly quiet. Nice staff. Reasonable price for the area. A few good breakfast restaurants nearby and lots of entertainment and restaurants for the whole family.

This Travelodge is an older hotel, located right in the middle of Northbeach (fisherman’s wharf). The managers are very friendly, helpful and are very customer service oriented. The hotel rooms are small but have been updated very nicely. It was very clean. It was a great price for a 2-3 star hotel, surrounded by 4 star hotels. It’s a gem for the traveler with a budget!

Location is fine, close to Wharf and within walking distance. Service to check in was great. Room was extremely small, carpet dirty, restroom was extremely small. Very noisy all night- from traffic, walking from upstairs and staff doing room service on the ground floor level in the morning. Tv service was very nice. But for the money not worth it. Would of paid more for better had we known. But location was fine. And we parked about 15 feet from our room.

The location worked well for activities. It's walking distance to the Pier and there's a Walgreens right next to it. They also let us store our luggage before or after checkout. There's a charge to park there, but at least you can park. The room was VERY tiny with no room for moving around. Bathroom was super small too. The temperature was difficult to control. We should have caught the 2 beds were doubles, not queens. The floors creak and light comes in through the window all night. For the area the price was affordable, and we felt safe.

This was my second stay. The first stay was great, this one wasn’t. The bathroom had some hair and dirt stuck to the walls and around/ behind the toilet. But the worst part was the toilet stopped working at like 10pm and the front desk wouldn’t answer. I wasn’t aware I was supposed to leave my room (a solo female traveler) to go ring a doorbell outside at night to wake someone up at the front desk.

Walking up to our room twice we got asked if we needed anything. Our room was cleaned every night. Property is a tad dated and small but that is typical for that part of the city. We would stay there again.

Parking is limited inside hotel but there was always a parking space available when we arrived after going out. I highly recommend this hotel.
