Fodor's Review:
A few blocks from Fisherman's Wharf, this three-story 1906 Italianate Victorian was once home to longshoremen and Beat poets. A narrow stairway from the street leads to the front desk and labyrinthine hallways. Rooms are small but charming, with lace curtains, forest-green-painted wood floors, brass beds, and other antique furnishings. The top floor is brighter, because it's closer to the skylights that provide sunshine to the many potted plants in the brass-banistered hallways. About a third of the rooms have sinks, and all rooms share scrupulously clean black-and-white-tile bathroom facilities with pull-chain toilets. A rooftop suite must be reserved three to six months in advance. Fior D'Italia, "America's Oldest Italian Restaurant," fills the building's first floor.
