We stayed at the Tuscan Inn for 5 nights in October 2010 and found it to be an excellent value. It is the perfect location - very close to the bustling main street of Fisherman's Wharf, but just far enough away to be quiet and comfortable. The pick-up location for the double decker sightseeing bus is within sight of the front door of the hotel and the cable car turn-around is just a short walk away. (Be sure to pick up a MUNI Visitor Passport for 1, 3 or 7 days to save yourself some money!) The rooms are clean and fresh and a decent size. Our room had a king size bed (with a full wall of mirrors which made the room appear larger), along with a desk and comfy chair. The only downside to the room was that the sink / mirror was outside the door to the room with the toilet / shower. At first glance, it looked like a great way for one person to be in the bathroom while the other gets ready at the sink, until the first (second, tenth, etc.) time that you exit the bathroom and whack your spouse with the bathroom door! But don't be discouraged because this is truly the only downside that we found with the entire hotel.
The wine reception from 5 to 6 in the lobby was a welcomed event to wrap up your day of sightseeing and get a chance to mingle with other travelers. And the restaurant attached to the hotel (Cafe Pescatore) provided us with one of the best meals of our visit. If you require a hotel with all the extras, like a pool, hot tub, spa and in-house fitness room, then you may need to look elsewhere. But, if you are looking for a quality hotel with the perfect location to act as a home base for your vacation - with excellent service and an exceptionally comfortable bed, you should book your stay at the Best Western Tuscan Inn.
