Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time at the hotel. The staff were great and ready to help. Anything we were needing was addressed quickly, even during Super Bowl weekend. I was expecting lag at some point but was very pleasantly surprised it was all smooth sailing. Extra kudos to Ben for making our stay a very enjoyable and personal experience. The hotel is a couple easy blocks from the Warf so it was very convenient. Make sure the enjoy the outdoor fire pits if you decide on a night in."
