Thanks again guys for a great stay! Benny at the front desk was very welcoming during our stay during 420 weekend in SF! We came to enjoy the festivities and were in close proximity to our concert at 1015 Folsom. The only drawback as previously mentioned is the parking charge but in a city with limited spots its nice to... More

I needed a quick place to sleep before my long cross-country journey began the following morning. Having compared other "similar" hotels in safe, convenient areas with garaged parking, this was a decent price. I drove into the garage and there is no way to get into the hotel unless you have an assigned key card which opens the doors to... More

When I booked this hotel, I was extremely excited because I got it through priceline.com for $80/night. A great deal for a young, broke family of five just looking to get away for the weekend. When we got there, the man at the front desk asked if we would be parking our car there. Surprised, I said yes. He then... More

Nothing wrong here. Friendly and helpfull staff, good rooms for a decent price. Bathroom could have been cleaner though, the tub looked like it was 100 years old. Overall we had 2 nice nights here in Sept.

We stayed here for 3 nights from 16th April 2012. We were a little worried about the location as some previous reviews suggested there were a lot of homeless people in the area. Yes there are but none of them were threatening. The hotel staff were all wonderful. Very helpful and gave excellent customer service. The bartender Jess is great... More

Everything about this hotel is satisfactory or a bit better as I expect from a large hotel chain. The rooms are comfortable and a good size. Shower was very powerful which was a pleasant surprise and all areas seemed clean. The neighbourhood the hotel is situated in however is not the best. In England we would call it 'seedy'. It... More

I've been a loyal Holiday Inn customer for several years. The front desk service was OUTSTANDING. Some of the best I've ever had.
