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.
