Comfortable room central location

Nice room with great view over the city. One of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in AB’s great pillows. Food available in the hotel - meals/ snacks / pastries, plus bar. Easy and close access to public transport to travel to Pier 39 area and other city locations.
Great room, Great view, Parking.... what a plus!

Nice hotel as I would expect from a Holiday Inn

Nice hotel, up to the standards I would expect from a Holiday Inn. Comfortable clean rooms and very nice outdoor pool with balcony. Location seemed good, easy to get to most attractions in San Francisco.
My criticisms of this hotel would be that there are a number of extra costs. Breakfast up to $38USD per person, Parking ~$50USD. I even got charged $3 for picking up a package that I had shipped to my room. That being said, there are not many hotels downtown SF that don't charge extra for parking and/or breakfast, so it is what it is.
I would stay here again, just have to factor all the costs in.

Nice Spot with Great Access

What a nice find! I was attending a concert at Davies Symphony Hall, which is an easy walk down to, but I took a bus back. The hotel is easy to access.

Parking in a city is always a challenge, so I was fine with the price for parking. My room was clean and VERY comfortable. Right off of California and the cable car. How wonderful that Whole Foods is a block away for options for food from their hot bar to bring back to my room! The staff were attentive, and everything was accurate.

Spent 2 nights, and our stay was absolutley worry free. Despite our flight was late, front desk was super helpful via phone and email, got a nice room on the 12th floor after a late checkin.
Parking was also really comfortable, a little bit expensive to my taste, but we are in city center, I have to take it. Lots of free spots, close to elevators, moving luggage was easy as well.
Location cant be better, just next to the cable car end station, you can hop on without fighting the crowd, also bus runs next to the hotel, that takes you downtown.
We skipped the breakfast, as there are so many nice places nearby. Worth exploring.
Also we used the washing machines, vending machine for the soap and dispenser. All works with card, so super convienent.
The hotel is absolutley cashless, make sure you have your card working properly.
Would stay here again if we are back again to SFO.
