Liked: Friendly and social staff. In the funk zone area. And they had great amenities with local vendors and free drinks

Great location.

Liked: Trendy good location
Disliked: Bathroom was awkward bc compact. Feet in wet shower. The bunk stairs were a bit painful to stand on bare foot. Lots of dust on the top shelf above the bunk. Hasn’t been cleaned up there in ages. Don’t mind the strip club across the street the location is great otherwise. Confusing about parking - when booking thought it was included but then on site payment required. Heard other guests complain about the same confusion too. So for $400/night it isn’t a deal but it was best available

Tight space, but good location.

Liked: Location was great!
Disliked: Small rooms!

Superb

Very good

Liked: is nice place very small but it was good for one night
Disliked: everything was fine I had topay for coffee and parking

The Waterman, over-hyped, very expensive,...

Liked: The Waterman is well situated for the waterside and downtown. It's easy to walk to the beach, the wharf, the Presidio, and the Los Banos pool (a lovely outdoor pool).The hotel room was fine but no more than fine. It did have lots of hooks to hang coats from though...Breakfast facilities were minimal, but there was plenty of availability of free coffee and tea. We didn't see any guests using the cooker hob - slightly weird in a hotel, but if you fancied scrambling some eggs then the equipment was there.The staff were all very pleasant and helpful.OK for a one night stay.
Disliked: The Waterman is ludicrously over-priced. As well as the enormous advertised room rate, you can add $100 a night occupancy tax, and $30 a night to park your car.The Waterman is trying too hard to be chic and trendy. The rooms are very small, not even space for one easy chair. The pool is very small, great for kids, not adults.The Waterman is extremely close to Highway 101, which never stops, so sitting outside your room is blighted by traffic noise. It's quiet in the rooms with the door shut though.

great stay for family if...

Liked: loved the location, and communal kitchen. There is plenty of water, soda, and a machine that makes sparkling water to hot water in one!
Disliked: Rooms were very small, bathrooms were cramped, shower door when closed is up against toilet.

Superb
