Hotel Zephyr, San Francisco

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience here, do not recommend. The room (on 3rd floor) was hot/mildew-y smell, it “punched” you in the face as you walked in the room.We tinkered with AC to help but it was working very weakly, warm in room. We left trip early due to this and other factors (had odd/scary encounter with local man when out).We are frequent travelers and this all was a first.

Parking fee is RIDICULOUS!!!

The only great thing was the location. It was literally a three minute walk to Pier 39 and very convenient!! The hotel rooms were outdated and had to switch rooms twice as they were extremely musty smelling, and their air conditioner vents were filthy dirty. Upon check-in, I was told I would receive an additional $65 plus tax for one night of parking on top of the fees. I already paid for the nights stay. All of the outdoor games to do for activities were rundown or broken. Life-size connect for was made out of foam and falling apart, The pool table felt was pulling off the table, and pool cues had no cork on the ends. Went to play ping-pong, and every ball was cracked. Came to pick up our s’more’s kits at 9:45 PM and we’re told we came too late (even though it was advertised till 10 PM). Also, the room was very small and the beds were very uncomfortable… Overall, the location is what made it worth it for us. It is literally three minutes walk from Pier 39. The picture I added, is standing at the parking lot of the hotel. Honestly, I think the worst of it all was the actual $74.85 extra to park. It really takes away the fact of it being an inexpensive or feasible Sunday night stay. We could’ve stayed a few blocks over with a beautiful heated pool with free parking.

The games and activities are so much fun for the little ones and relaxing by the fire make this place so special!
