Formerly the Radisson Hotel Fisherman's Wharf, the three-pearl Hotel Zephyr ditched its outdoor pool in favor of a sprawling playground that's filled with fire pit lounge spaces and giant yard games. Some guests may mourn the loss of a pool, but overall the Zephyr raised the bar on its family-friendly amenities, which extends to the interiors. Common spaces feel like an urban amusement park, including a game room. Even its 361 guest rooms have a playful spirit, stocked with dart boards, iPod docks, and huge 48-inch smart TVs. Its location right across the street from the waterfront is appealing, and rates are cheaper than the nearby Hyatt or the Holiday Inn Express. If Hotel Zephyr is booked up, check out the nautically themed Argonaut Hotel farther along the waterfront.

Converted from an 1908 fruit canning factory and reopened in 2003 with 252 nautical-themed rooms and suites, the Argonaut is one of Fisherman's Wharf's trendiest options. Spacious rooms, which were renovated in 2012, have more character than the nearby chain hotels, though the Sheraton is often cheaper. Features include a seafood restaurant, and the location makes some of San Francisco's most popular attractions easily accessible.

The Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf is a mid-range, 531-room hotel just over a block from Fisherman's Wharf, one of San Francisco's top tourist destinations. A cozy courtyard, a heated outdoor pool, and a good-sized fitness center are nice-to-have extras in an otherwise motel-esque property. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and updated AC units, but lack water views (the hotel is only four stories tall, so the neighboring buildings block views of the San Francisco Bay). Guests could also consider Hotel Zephyr, a boutique hotel across the street, where higher-category rooms have unobstructed bay views.

The 319-room Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf is an upscale hotel in a central location within walking distance of major attractions such as Pier 39, North Beach, and Coit Tower. Contemporary rooms have free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and Hyatt's signature mattresses. The many 24-hour facilities -- including the fitness and business centers, a small market with a few basic items, and room service -- cater mostly to business travelers, but the outdoor heated pool is a hit with families. The attached restaurant serves a tasty seasonal menu made with locally sourced ingredients, and has a popular daily happy hour. Neighboring Pier 2620 Hotel has lower rates, but no pool.

Hotel Zoe is a surprisingly elegant mid-range property with an excellent location in Fisherman's Wharf. The 221 rooms feature stylish classic decor, including plantation shutters and Edwardian-style headboards, and some King Suites even have gas fireplaces. Amenities are geared toward business travelers, with an Italian restaurant, lots of meeting space, and the option of catering and private dining. However, the hotel's location makes it an equally attractive option for sightseers. While there's a next-door fitness center available to guests, there's no pool or hot tub. Travelers looking to swim might be better off staying at the Hyatt At Fisherman's Wharf instead or the nearby Sheraton, though rates at both tend to be higher.

After finishing its renovations in 2011, this 285-room Marriott is one of the freshest-feeling hotels in kid-friendly Fisherman's Wharf, and is located three blocks from the shops and attractions along the waterfront. It has up-to-date guest rooms and a spacious fitness center, but unlike the Sheraton, Radisson, Hilton, and Hyatt, it lacks a pool.

With 585 rooms spread over two buildings, this mid-range Holiday Inn is certainly one of the bigger -- and less charming -- hotels in the area. The property, however, is clean and well-maintained, and its excellent location is just one to two blocks from the Fisherman's Wharf waterfront. Guest rooms won't wow, but amenities include 42-inch TVs and espresso machines -- just try to avoid noisy street-facing units. There are better options nearby in this price range, including the Hyatt, with its superior restaurant and fitness center, and the Argonaut, with its trendy, nautical-themed decor.
