Harbor Court Hotel

The location is fantastic. The Queen room with Bay view is perfect for a solo traveler & of course the view is lovely. They have added a continental breakfast since I was here back in 2022 which is a great touch, so a couple of times I came down grabbed a coffee, a massive muffin & banana to set me up for the morning. They have free bikes another great touch. I felt very safe here, staff are great. I love being right on Embarcadero by the Bay. The Ferry building is great for food options & of course handy for Ferry services, F tram down to Pier 39 Ghirardelli square, N various bus services all within a couple of minutes walk. Unfortunately I’m walking up Market less & less & now I rarely walk past 4th street as it getting more run down so I will hop on F or L to Castro or N which is a great way to see other neighbourhoods on your way to Ocean Beach, but I do find myself more & more hanging around the Bay. The walk to North Beach via Washington onto Columbus is a nice gentle walk no dramatic uphill accents.

Loved our stay at this hotel - the location was perfect for exploring the city and was in walking distance of many of the main attractions. The option to use the YMCA gym was a great perk of the trip as it was much better than a usual hotel gym. The staff were very accommodating and kind. The decor of the hotel was welcoming and having a fire lit throughout the week was welcoming (as end of November and slightly chilly).

Location. Nice room.

This is a perfect location for walking to places along Embarcadero, such a Ferry Building. The hotel lobby is very nice and imparts the air of quality and historicity of the place: it has a fireplace, comfortable couches, rugs, decor. We also liked very much that the decor pays tribute to the history of the building, with historical photos and other memorabilia from the YMCA club that was here since the 1920s. The room was comfortable, with the great waterfront and the Bay Bridge view (we had the waterfront queen room). Interesting and fun decor: a "mathematical" clock, where every hour is represented by a mathematical formula, steampunk style bedside table lamps, a fish-eye mirror on the bed's headboard. Overall, it was a good stay and we recommend this place.

We selected this hotel based on price and location as it was closest to the Oakland Bridge. We had a short walk to the BART station to get to the Oakland Athletics baseball game (purpose of our trip). Our room was clean, comfortable, nicely decorated (nautical themed) and the hotel itself had that charm of yesteryear. I was most impressed by the helpfulness of all the staff we interacted with. The front desk helped me find the Pier Location of our bay tour (I had no idea), we ran into someone from housekeeping on our floor and they personally asked us if there was anything they could get for us and leave in our room while we where away (we asked for extra bottles of water which where waiting for us upon our return). The hotel had a wine hour for their guests and a lovely continental breakfast ~ both set up in the main lobby.
