PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Like an island of respectability in a sea of touristy schlock, this boutique Best Western is one of the best midrange hotels at Fisherman's Wharf. It continues to exude a level of style and comfort far beyond that of its neighboring competitors. For example, every evening in the plush lobby warmed by a grand fireplace, a wine reception is hosted by the manager, and the adjoining Café Pescatore serves wonderful pizzas and grilled meats from their wood-burning oven. The rooms are a definite cut above competing Fisherman's Wharf hotels: All are handsomely decorated and have writing desks and armchairs. The only caveat is the lack of scenic views -- a small price to pay for a good hotel in a great location.
