How we chose these three
Each stay is scored on four things: a guest rating smoothed by review count, fit with a $204–$425 per-night band, distance to Fisherman's Wharf, and a small partner-commission term capped so it never outranks quality. We then pick three that differ in neighbourhood and price. The "why" and the drawback under each hotel use only fields the booking partner returned.
