Great value and location

The Holiday Inn at Fisherman's Wharf may be a little out dated, but all the important factors are taken care of. The hotel is very clean. Location is ONE Block off the Wharf, and if you're hungry there's a Denny's in the hotel. You're also a few steps from many other excellent attractions and restaurants. I'll be going back .

Super spot for San Francisco visit!

This Holiday Inn did indeed provide us with a perfect holiday getaway! It's location is right in the heart of San Francisco's action along Fisherman's Wharf! Sour dough, Seafood and Sights to see are all within easy walking. Our room was comfortable and clean, the staff were all very friendly and able to help with any question that we had. You can't go wrong, booking your stay here!

Perfect location!

Perfect location! Walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and the wharf! Good value. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only downside is that I had to pay $40 a night for parking. Would definitely recommend!

First time to San Francisco

Hotel was in a great location on the Wharf. Nothing spectacular about the room. A microwave and small refrigerator in the room would have been appreciated for the price of the room.

Nice hotel for a nice location at a reasonable price

The staff was friendly the moment I walked in. The room was clean and ready for my arrival. The location is convenient, a block off the wharf and the crowds, and near (1-2 blocks away from the tram stop, bus stops) and cabs everywhere.
