Great stay
One of the best hotel experiences I’ve had- went into the city for a nearby music event and planned to bring my own car to which we paid an additional $45 to park in the gated garage with in and out privileges. Very clean and comfortable beds, four pillows per bed (very cozy) and a microwave room downstairs we used to make store bought popcorn. There’s a CVS vending machine and a snack machine too.

Friendly Service
Place was comfortable. Staff was friendly. Pool was nice, of course they can't control the weather in SF! Area around the hotel was decent. Lots of restaurants on Polk St. Short bus ride to Chinatown.

Perfect San Fran hotel
This was a lovely hotel that is walking distance to Chinatown and Japantown. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The customer service was fantastic and they kept a security guard by the elevators. It was an easy spot to get an Uber. The surrounding area was safe and clean. Its was a great stay.

Book through holidayinn.com not here
Nice holiday inn in the middle of SF. Booked the room through hotels.com, but the holiday inn trouble accessing the correct reservation, which caused the bill to be incorrect. I would recommend booking through Holiday Inn and not this website.

Would recommend to stay here
Had a great stay. It was in a good location with lots of options for food and some bars nightlife that we walked to within 5-10 min distance. It was a little loud at night in a sense that emergency vehicles passed by often but our room was facing the Main Street. Would stay here again.

Friends Trip
Great location! You can find parking on the street but like any city, it is difficult. The hotel charged about $50 per night for parking but the garage is sealed so it's pretty safe. The parking space is SMALL, perhaps that's all spots in San Francisco. But I had a Chevy Malibu as a rental and I couldn't turn the car around without having to do a 4-5 point maneuver.
Aside from the parking, it was a great location, the rooms were clean, larger than what I expected. I went with a couple of friends and it was more than enough space.
10/10 would stay here again

The most amazing view of San Francisco. Great food options within a city block.
I suggest updating your breakfast buffet, staff were awesome but food was not.
