underwhelming stay near the wharf

decent locationsmall bedno apology
the location was decent. close to some tourist spots.
my room wasn't ready at check-in. instead of a sincere apology, they "upgraded" me to a room with two small beds, definitely not the large bed i booked for my trip. it was quite a letdown.

I adored the hotel's fantastic location near fisherman's wharf, so we could easily walk to the attractions. the staff offered us complimentary bottled water, lovely after our journey. our room even had a great view of the bay and alcatraz. It felt very special.
The restaurant felt average and expensive. It seemed to lack a special spark.
