[HOTEL REVIEW] Hyatt At Fishermans Wharf, San Francisco

The 313-room Hyatt offers more style (and amenities) per dollar than the other Wharf area chain hotels. It has comfortable rooms, a sleek lobby, a lively sports bar (in an even more impressive space), a large fitness center, and a pool.

Pros

• Two blocks to Fisherman's Wharf
• Swimming pool and Jacuzzi
• Large 24-hour fitness center
• Surprising design flourishes throughout
• Free weekday-morning town car to the financial district (reservations required)
• In-room coffeemaker, iPod docking station
• Free cribs and mini-fridges on request

Cons

• Tiny business center; laptops costly to rent
• Daily fee for wireless; no Wi-Fi in the lobby
• Valet parking is pricey
• Wine bar adjacent to a sports bar
• Rollaway beds are charged per night
• For all of the tourist activity during the day, Fisherman's Wharf is short on nightlife
