great stay

The staff was welcoming and friendly, the hotel lobby and room was clean and its a great location. The only bad thing I can say is that it is a bit confusing that there are 2 other holiday inn hotels in the same block.

Had a Great Time

The Hotel was clean everywhere. Folks at the front desk area were helpful and friendly. Food at breakfast was fine. The only unpleasant experience was not knowing about the $51.00/day parking charge. We were there 7 days and it cost us an additional $359.00 just to park our car. In addition to the room charge. That was extreme!! Other than that, the hotel location could not have been better. My wife and I had a wonderful time in San Francisco.

Comfort and convenience

front desk staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. this hotel is excellent location for walking the entire wharf area, North Beach, including Lombard St., and Embarcadero. Excellent restaurants on Columbus Ave. The Hollywood Cafe right next to the hotel is excellent for breakfast (although the breakfast buffet at the express is very good) and lunch.

Would (Will) Stay Again

Such a great hotel and a great location. Withing walking distance of many attractions and bus stops, tour beginnings and street car beginning points. And a Walgreens close for all the incidentals you leave behind. Comfy bed, quiet place... I could go on about this place but I'll just say if or when I ever return I'm staying here.

Time-saving tip: Not Applicable

Buy a pass to ride buses, cable cars or street cars for the amount of time you need. Save on parking, save the aggravation of driving or taking an expensive taxi.

Great location

Convenient location to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39. Clean hotel and good, friendly staff. Comp breakfast was nice but don't expect a chef on hand to serve you. Parking rate is ridiculous, $45! Valet only! Overall stay was worth it.

Sightseeing tip: Short drive from hotel

The City Tour was not worth the money. The tour guide dropped off the tourist at locations not worth mentioning, except for the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a self-guided tour for the most part, what a waste.

great location for the sites

This hotel was in a great location. Two blocks from the wharf, lots of resturants, attractions, tours, shops, buses near by. The Hotel suggested a shuttle from and to the airport that worked out well. This was the only vacation we did not need to rent a car. Room was small but had all we needed, besides we spent all our time out on the town, just sleep in the room, free breakfast helped start the day.
