We stayed there for one night and it was very relaxing. Great location to walk right out the Piers. Very hip room with very comfy bed facing out to large windows view over the Bay and Bay Bridge. Great place, great value.

I recently returned from an enjoyable stay at the Harbor Court hotel in San Francisco. The hotel is about 3 blocks from the Embarcadero BART stop and very convienant to all of the activity along the piers and ferry terminal.

Highlights:
-free access to the YMCA next door. An amazing facility with lap pool, bball court, full sauna, etc. I never thought I would be on a treadmill with a view of the bay bridge!
-free cocktail reception every night with quality wine and beer
-free fresh cookies and milk every night
-good coffee and tea available at all times
-great customer service
-flat screen TVs, ergonomic desk chairs, iPod docking stations
-across the street from the ferry terminal farmer's market (thursday/saturday - probably the coolest farmer's market I have ever seen. I highly encourage a visit)

Lowlights:
-a very, very small room (maybe 12' x 12') that takes a little getting used to. And a $50 flat surcharge for a room with a view of the Bay Bridge.

The room we stayed in was well appointed, and we got used to the size, but I would caution any families from staying at the Harbor Court. Even finding space for a crib would be a challenge.

San Fran is an amazing city. Go visit!

I wasn't sure what to expect after booking through Priceline and getting a very inexpensive rate. I was pleasantly surprised by the great customer service and nice extra perks the hotel provides. In the mornings there was a NY Times outside our door... even Sunday's which is $5. Downstairs they provide coffee and tea. At 5:00 they provide free wine and beer.

The rooms are small but we weren't in the room very much so it was fine. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I left my camera bag and battery charger in the room, not realizing until we were out of the city, housekeeping found it and is shipping it back to me.

The location is good and right near the Ferry Building although not as centrally located as Union Square. I would definatly stay again.

We were going to SF for a Giant’s game and wanted a hotel within walking distance to AT&T Park. The Harbor Court fit the bill. In addition, the hotel was running a weekend promotional rate that in terms of SF hotel rates was great ($142.00 for a room with a view!).

We arrived early afternoon and the associate that greeted us, Ross was awesome. He worked to have our room ready early and we checked-in around 2:00 p.m.

The hotel charges $40.00 + tax per night for valet parking. If you want to save a buck, you can do one of the following:

-If arriving on a Saturday night, you can park in front of the hotel for free after 6:00 p.m. and all day Sunday for free.

-You can walk ½ a block to the Howard St. Garage and self-park for $29.00 for a 24-hour period.

We chose to park at the Howard St. Garage and it was fine.

The Hotel:
As a Kimpton Regular, this hotel fits with the brand. We booked a king with a view and I am glad that we did. Others have remarked how small the rooms are and they are right. The king gave us a little extra room and an awesome view of the Bay Bridge. Beware-In order to save space, the hotel has placed its beds on pedestals. That if fine, but the pedestals have sharp corners and if you are not paying attention, ouch!!.

The bathrooms are tiny with no counter space. It was challenging for both of us to get ready.

The lobby is the largest Kimpton Lobby I have ever seen. The wine-hour was actually enjoyable.

As a Kimpton regular, I have now stayed at 4 of their San Francisco properties and rank the Harbor Court as my second favorite. I am still really happy with the Serrano,

Bottom line, if you can get an awesome rate, stay here. It is steps from the Ferry Building and it will really rock on July 4th.

I am a hotel diva and have no negatives about this place. Enjoy your stay.
