What guests think

Across recent reviews, Club Quarters Hotel Embarcadero, San Francisco is praised for its walkable, business‑district location near the Ferry Building and transit, generally friendly staff, and practical touches like lobby espresso, refillable water stations, and a small gym.

Rooms are often small and somewhat dated, with occasional noise from thin walls or elevators, and some reports of AC issues, sealed windows, limited storage, and TVs or casting not working. Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive, though a minority mention musty odors, stained carpets, mold or mildew, and, in rare cases, pests. Facilities are functional rather than luxe; expect a rooftop terrace, laundry and an adjacent restaurant, but off‑site paid parking with no in‑and‑out and no pool. Overall, it suits value‑minded travelers prioritizing location and convenience over frills.

Great value for your dollar, but…no in-room safes or ice/ice buckets. We had to go down to the basement to get a bucket of ice. We did feel safe because you had to use your room key to make the elevator move. Great views and quiet.

This is a fantastic property near the Ferry Building. Can't beat the location, safe neighborhood and walking distance to points of interest. The hotel staff are kind and helpful. Love the lobby area with a variety of free coffees and teas. The guest services and free fill up water station on each floor is so thoughtful! There is a terrace and work out room, too! I felt safe and secure here due to security at the door and elevators that only function with a room key. The room I stayed in was small but that is the norm for many big cities and I felt perfectly comfortable staying here. Slept well, too! Thanks for a wonderful landing pad for a weekend get away!

The front desk was awesome. They always greeted us. Coffee is good and the layout is nice in the fitlrst floor. The top deck is nice but small. The layout to get to the rooms is like a maze. No parking on property. The cheapest parking is $37 one block away. Noticed it was cheaper at the hotel website then Hotels.com. unable to honor lower price since I didn't book with the hotel direct. The elevators are slow and to get ice its on the lower level only.

Great facility right at the heart of the city. Smooth check in/out experience. The room did not have a refrigerator, which would have made it perfect place.

Rooms are tight / small. Dark inside hallways Free coffee. Water dispensers on every floor + bottle - nice touch but needs to fill faster. Restaurant downstairs is decent. Walkable to waterfront. Lyft bikes nearby - a plus. Price competitive.

The hotel has reasonable prices at most times of the year. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. It's quiet if you have an interior-facing room; if you have a room facing the street, it's quiet unless you open a window. There isn't much hotel staff in the lobby, but check-in is generally quick and easy. The Embaracadero parking garage are nearby that you can park at for $37 overnight if you want more peace of mind about your car's safety, but I parked on the street a block over and was fine.

Room looks like a prison. The bathroom looked so dirty so I was too scared to take a shower. Didn't even offer liquid shower gel there was only bar soap.. The walls are paper thin and we couldn't sleep because of the people staying in the room next to us. Definitely not a 4 star hotel.

This was so perfectly centralized for all the major sites to visit in SF. 1.5 miles from oracle park, 1.5 miles from fisherman’s wharf, quarter mile to the SF Ferry building & market place, half a mile from China town. Both the BART and muni stations are barely a block away. Highly recommend if you’re looking to get a true SF experience.

Parking is across the street and a little too long of a walk for my liking, but not too bad. We had an ozone generator running in our room upon arrival which can be dangerous to breathe so we had to air out the room for a while. Otherwise a nice stay. The man at the front desk was very helpful and checkin was very fast. Room was small but good.

This was our second stay at this hotel, and once again, we loved it. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a spacious room on the 9th floor, complete with a comfortable couch and a private balcony. The room was very clean, quiet, and exceptionally roomy. Check-in was smooth and quick — we arrived early and were checked in within five minutes. The rate was excellent, especially considering it was during the 4th of July weekend in San Francisco. The hotel’s location is perfect — within walking distance to many major attractions. We also had breakfast at the on-site restaurant, which offered delicious food at a great price. The only downside was parking. Overnight options were limited and very overpriced, and we had to find parking on our own. Still, overall, this is a great hotel, and we’ll definitely be back.
