"Freebies... an evening wine reception, and a great location on the Financial District's revitalized waterfront make it a reasonable choice for couples and solo travelers." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Housed in what was originally a YMCA building, the Harbor Court is the only hotel in San Francisco with a location right on the waterfront."
Time Out "On the Embarcadero waterfront, Harbor Court is something of an undiscovered treat." Full review
Star Service "It is in a relatively off-the-map locale for tourists and despite the recent loss of Kimpton it remains a prize that resides blissfully beneath the radar for most out-of-towners. " Full review
Gayot "This hotel is situated one block off the Embarcadero near the Bay Bridge, and therefore has one of the best bayside views the city can offer."
