I have stayed in a lot of places in San Francisco. This Holiday Inn is one of the best in this price range. It is moderately priced, has lovely city view rooms that are very clean, has affordable parking with in and out, has a restaurant on site if you need it but is also centrally located for quick access to all parts of the city. We will be back.

Nice rooms. Convenient location. Has an area for cars to load so it’s much safer if you’re getting a taxi or ride share. Check in/check out is fast. My biggest issue is that they require a $100/night deposit so if your stay is long, be prepared to spend a lot for the deposit. It does get returned assuming there’s no issues with damages, but it is an outrageous amount to ask for a deposit. Also, a ridiculous policy in general if you’re not expecting it.

The positive: Good enough for our stay. Decent location for getting to different parts of the city. Clean. The negative: No complimentary coffee, very limited gym equipment, staff lacked knowledge about public transportation. Area around hotel was convenient but not a pretty area. Never felt threatened but not comfortable walking at night due to homelessness/drunks/obvious drug use.

We were given a room with an amazing view on the 26th floor! Check in was easy and we were able to check in early. We wanted a drink at the bar, it was open yet, but the guy served us anyway. Parking garage was safe and easy to access as street parking was hard to find. The hotel and our room was clean and quiet. We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again!

I had a corner room, room 700. It was level with a rooftop and the view was incredible. With wall to wall windows on two sides of the room, and mechanized blinds if you wanted to close them. One of the coolest rooms I’ve ever stayed in!
