Located in the touristy district of Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, is a great property that during the week offers amazing values compared to other hotels in the Bay Area. The Hyatt Centric Fisherman’s Wharf is conveniently located near Pier 39 (about 2 blocks away), home to every sourdough bowl of clam chowder you could ever imagine. From Pier 39 you can also see Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. On a Tuesday night, my rate was $175 plus tax for the night. If any of you have ever traveled to the Bay Area for business you know that this is a great rate. As you walk into the hotel, you’ll notice that the lobby has a very modern feel. 
- Rooms: Fairly newly renovated. I was upgraded to an extra large king room so I think my room was a little bigger than the norm.
- Gym: The fitness center at this hotel is decently sized and filled with multiple treadmills, elliptical machines and even cycling bikes. Their free weights however is a bit disappointing for such a large space, their maximum dumb bells only go up to the standard 50 lbs. *Life Hack! – with this hotel I recommend going outside for a run. Head towards the water and turn left. You’ll run through a great park and eventually head towards the Golden Gate Bridge, which is about 4.5 miles away (umm, I’ve never ran that far because that would be a total of 9 miles round trip).
- Parking: Although the rooms may be reasonably priced, the parking is not. There is only valet parking and it’s $59 per night!
- Resort Fee: $20 per night plus tax. These fees are a huge pet peeve of mine!
- Food: The hotel offers a restaurant with a bar but you are so close to Pier 39 that I highly recommend getting out of your room and checking out the nearby attractions (see below).
- Nearby Attractions: Within walking distance is Pier 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf. I highly recommend going outside and going for a stroll. It’s a great area for site seeing if you have some downtime.
