- "I was ectastic that our room had a gorgeous view of the Sky Ferris Wheel, the ocean and Alcatraz!!!! The location being on Fisherman's Wharf, was steps away from Pier 39 where we loved watching the sea lions and we were able to walk to our tour boat agency on Pier 33 to visit Alcatraz. We were also able to easily walk to the Musee Mechanique to enjoy this vintage arcade! It was also only a 40 minute walk to the San Fran MOMA. Our son loved that the resort had a pool table, ping pong, shuffle board and so many other games. And we received two nights worth of smore making kits! The staff was friendly, professional and accomodating."
