We had a very good stay at the Hyatt at Fisherman's Wharf. So many things we liked have already been said in other reviews. The staff is super nice. Everyone smiles and is very helpful which is nice when you're on vacation. The room was very nice and clean. Our ipod radio didn't work when we first got there but a staff member was upstairs and had it fixed in minutes after we called.
The hotel is very central to lots of the action on Fisherman's Wharf. Every night we walked down to the beach and out on the pier to enjoy the view, the sunset and the people watching. One cable car turnaround is right behind the hotel and the other one is just down a couple blocks. There are lots of good restaurants nearby and it's an easy walk to Pier 39, which is crowded and crazy but fun. Also nearby are Ghirardelli Square, the hop on, hop off bus tours (highly recommended), bay boat and Alcatraz tours, the aquarium, sea lions, and lots of other fun things to see and do.
I first arrived at the hotel for a conference and my husband joined me later and we made it a long vacation weekend after the conference was over. The conference facilities and services such as food were very good and as far as I know the people who planned it were very pleased with the hotel.
Two very minor complaints...
We felt the breakfast buffet at $18 a piece was pretty pricey considering it was basic breakfast foods like scrambled eggs and bacon with nothing really fancy or unusual. But it was very good and it is, after all, Fisherman's Wharf and food there is expensive.
Also, we wish we had had two chairs in our room so we could relax and look out the window, even though it was to the front of the hotel and not much of a view. But it's fun to people watch. We never pursued it but my guess is that if we had, the very nice hotel staff would have found us another chair.
We'd go here again. Good value and nice room.
