"Excellent Value Hotel - Not your typical Holiday Inn!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
This Holiday Inn provides excellent value accommodations in a nice, residential part of the city. This property, while under the Holiday Inn flag, is NOT your typical Holiday Inn. Unlike the other, simple, two floor properties that are common of this brand, this Holiday Inn is a stylish, 26 floor hotel with a ton of meeting space and an outdoor rooftop pool. I was especially impressed with the sleeping rooms, which look like they could belong in a trendy 4 star hotel, rather than a Holiday Inn. The hotel's location is central, and accessible to all major tourist attractions, but it is not right in the thick of them. Instead, it is located in a nice neighborhood, right next to these local hotspots. So, the area immediately surrounding the hotel is a pleasant place to walk around and shop (not touristy like Union Square or edgy like downtown). You also have the benefit of excellent views from every room, since there are no other large buildings obstructing your view. The hotel also has several large, flexible spaces for events as well as an on-site restaurant. Currently, the spaces and restaurant are very basic, but should make a stylish transformation to match the sleeping rooms after the current renovations. I recommend this hotel as it provides excellent value for the price all year, and is an easy and spacious option for any group.

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "A Really Nice Hotel"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I really like this Holiday Inn, it has everything you need. The outside pool on the sixth floor is great and they keep the water at a very pleasant temperature. On site restaurant open until 10pm is very handy, good machines in the laundry room. Everything you need.

Overall Score5.0/ 5
This hotel is centrally located. You are close to everything. It is also very well maintained and the food is great and reasonably priced. I also noticed a lot of people bring their families to this particular property staying here for two days. I found it to be very family oriented and also very accommodating if you are traveling by yourself. Best regards, Robert Taylor.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
Best point: the staff is personable, professional, friendly and helpful. Also a plus: the location is very convenient and accessible. And my bed was extremely comfortable. Relatively minor complaint: the rug in my room was looking a little “tired” and there were dings in some of the furniture. Major issue (and why I gave the hotel a Very Good instead of an Excellent rating): after paying over $500 for a two night stay, I was informed at check in that use of the hotel’s off street parking garage would be an additional $100. Given that overnight street parking in that area of San Francisco is impossible, this felt like a gouge. Parking should be included with the room … and not just by adding $50/night to the room charge.
