If you are gonna use the cable car for 2+ days, buy a 3 or 7 day pass at the gift shop (comission free) the single ride costs $6 (so $12 round trip) and 7 day pass costs $28 & it includes buses too

Agent Dragonfly

There are lots of consignment stores with cool stuff, in the area, Whole Foods a block away and some decent restaurants in walking distance. Hotel staff is friendly

Ashley Strange

Bar staff is great. Front desk is helpful. Pay to upgrade for a better view of the city . Lower rates and nearby everything.

Blair

So far so good. Great view from the room. Want a healthy bite to eat. Head up California about 100 meters to Whole Foods. Fresh food an healthy

Justin Sullivan

The rebranded ROH restaurant is comfortable and brightly lit. Lots of televisions . The little coffee shop does 1/2 off pastries after 8.

Jason McDowell

You COULD use the wireless here. Or you could go find a few goats , harness them up to a merry-go-round, & have them power a router of your own. Either way, it would be faster & more reliable than AT&T

Thin walls....had youngsters playing loud music and a joining room where I hear bathroom activities. Restless!

Marlon E

Their conference wi-fi is sufficient and bathrooms are clean . Short walk from the nearest Muni bus station .

Sarah LR

Had a really good stay here. Helpful staff and nice rooms. For an impressive view , head to the left hand stairwell on the 26th floor! Not recommended for those that don't like heights though...

Jason Baughman-Oprică

For a Holiday Inn , it’s a fancy one. Gym , pool, and laundry on the sixth floor.

Steve Yount

Good parking two blocks north on Sacramento street. $25 for 24 hours , SUVs included. Rt on California, L on Polk, L on Sacramento, on right.

Mackenzie Price

Hotel is in a good spot. Close to transport. Cable car runs down California St and Buses go along Van Ness Ave. Wi-Fi cuts out a lot, though a nice hotel for a short stay.

Mimi Z

The location is great, it's next to California St . The staff are friendly and polite.

Deanna O'Hanna

The wireless is godawful, but it is free. Don't plan on streaming movies . Also, my HD channels didn't work. Otherwise good service . Good burgers in the bar .

TJ Ingle

Great location to explore the city on foot.

Brandon Cain

Location is good for going to the Fishersman's wharf without the wharfs price tag. Parking is 40 dollars though

Linh Huynh

Has little exercise room in lower level. Has some weights and a few cardio machines.

Melissa Wallace

Exceptional for what you would expect from a Holiday Inn .

Joshua Gerber

Nice hotel . BART is right next tp hotel so you can go anywhere without a rental car .

Chelsea Reimer

Don't put your room keycard in the same pocket as your cellphone - it'll interfere with the card's magnetic strip and it'll stop working.

Audrey Khoo

Great location

Cristobal Gimón

Nice room, great location near cable car station

noisy .... antiquated . Bring earplugs.

Had a congress there and overall room was OK, but one of the projectors had unacceptably altered colors.

Great view from the top floor :)

Trader Joe's groceries a few blocks away on Hyde and California.

No microwaves?! They have a fridge but no microwave in the entire building... Give me a break. Spend $20 and get one from target people it's not that difficult!

Parking is too expensive here!
