Trixsea Posted September 29, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Any recommendations for hotels in San Francisco near the pier? Thanks. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelmac Posted September 29, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2004 We are staying in the Union Square area. Just a short taxi ride to the pier from anywhere in downtown SF. If you want to stay in the Fisherman's Wharf area, you can bid 3* Priceline San Francisco (Fisherman's Wharf). You will get one of five hotels: Hyatt at FW; Sheraton FW; Marriott at FW; Hilton SF at FW; or the Tuscan Inn. I've only stayed at the Tuscan Inn and it was pretty nice. All these hotels will be a five minute taxi to the cruise ship pier. Good Luck! Kel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saw1953 Posted September 30, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Check out the Buena Vista Motor Inn on Lombard Street. It's not fancy but it is clean and the staff is wonderful. It is within walking distance of Fishermans Wharf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamirish Posted September 30, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 30, 2004 In case you have not heard, several of the SF hotels went on "strike" today. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dosi Posted September 30, 2004 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Terry I would definitely go with Priceline. I would book a cancelable hotel within your budget and then about 3-4 wks prior to your cruise bid about $65 for a three star in the Fishermans Wharf area. We had the Hyatt in May. It was close to everything, including a grocery store. We walked to the pier in the morning. It was great. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mringenoldus Posted October 1, 2004 #7 Share Posted October 1, 2004 The Chancellor Hotel, across the street from the Sir Frances Drake, is wonderful and very affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamirish Posted October 2, 2004 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2004 "Operators of 10 downtown hotels locked out union employees yesterday (10/1/04), the latest move in an increasingly bitter labor feud that threatens the city's slowly rebounding tourism industry . . . . . . The four hotels struck Wednesday are the Argent Hotel, the Crowne Plaza Union Square, the Hilton and the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins. The 10 hotels locking out union workers are the Fairmont, Four Seasons, Grand Hyatt San Francisco, Holiday Inn Civic Center, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fisherman's Wharf, Holiday Inn at Fisherman's Wharf, Palace, Hyatt Regency, Omni and Westin St. Francis."
