Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Zephyr is often chosen for its prime location, a short walk from Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 33, making it ideal for exploring the area and enjoying attractions such as Alcatraz Island. Guests appreciate the clean and relatively spacious rooms. The hotel also provides unique entertainment with its fun courtyard featuring games and fire pits where s'mores can be enjoyed, and while the hotel's exterior appearance may seem a little dated to some, the overall experience is often considered good value.

ping pong shuffleboard peeling wallpaper bad smell
I loved the games this hotel had. There was ping pong and shuffleboard. The courtyard had fun stuff. S'mores kits were available to roast at the fire pits.
My room needed some work. The wallpaper was peeling off the wall. It had not been fixed even though they promised. Air circulated but had a bad smell.

surprisingly good stay

inside games outside games helpful concierge fresh coffee
The hotel has a great inside and outside games area. It is very suitable for both kids and adults! the concierge provided genuinely helpful local information. i helped myself to coffee capsules. It was nice to have fresh coffee in the room. pier 39 and the hop-on-hop-off bus are very close by.
The building's lower businesses looked abandoned, boarded up, and unkempt. That's a shame.

common area ping pong pool complimentary s'mores polite staff daily fee extra charge suspicious email no response
I appreciated the common area (it had ping pong and pool). The complimentary s'mores kits was a nice perk with marshmallows available for roasting. The staff were polite, which I found helpful.
The hotel charged a daily fee for use of services like the courtyard and games room. These services reminded me of they should be part of the standard facilities. I also got emails asking to verify my payment method, which I found suspicious. The emails included a link and I got no response to my queries about its legitimacy.
