I had a fantastic stay at Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf! The location was perfect for exploring the area, especially with easy access to Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. My room was spacious and well-kept, although I did notice some street noise due to my window setup. Overall, the staff were friendly and hospitable, but I did encounter some inconsistencies with the valet service. Despite that, I would definitely recommend this hotel for a family getaway in San Francisco.
