I just finished staying here for 6 nights while on business. Excellent service. Very nice rooms. Large, well lit bathroom. Great TV. Complimentary shoeshine. I didn't eat much in the hotel, so can't really comment on food or food service. I had a room on the 33rd floor, and the view was beautiful. Location is pretty good. CLose to BART,... More

I was extremely surprised by the quality of this hotel. First of all, everything is brand new. The service was superb; the staff literally take care of every detail. The location is also a plus. The only downside is that Howard St could be a little noisy with firefighters and emergency vehicles.

After I checked into the hotel, I took the elevator to the 25th floor. When I got off the elevator I found a naked man on top of a screaming woman. I got the man off of the woman. I then found myself standing between a crying woman and a naked man. After a few moments she headed for the... More

We stayed at the intercontinental in may for 6 nights. We enjoyed the stunning views over the city and the bay bridge from our bed and were thrilled with the service. All of the staff, from housekeeping, security (our 12 year old son had his daily chat with Kenneth) and front desk up to management were very friendly and helpfull.... More

Perfect location, close to Yerba Buena, Union Square and the Ferry Building. Amazing views. Nice spacious rooms with a super comfortable bed. Great extensive breakfast in the InterContinenal Lounge. Friendly and attentive staff members, heart warming service. Recommended for singles, families and business travelers. I'll definitely be back to try the Michelin Star Restaurant Luce.

I enjoyed staying at the Intercontinental. My room was huge. I'm not sure if all rooms are this size but when I checked in (which was 3 hours early and they didn't give me any trouble plus they also allowed a late 2 pm checkout) the receptionist asked what size bed I wanted. I asked for a King and she... More

I stayed at the InterContinental San Francisco in early April with my two children and husband. We were there on the kid’s spring break from school. The hotel itself is very typical of an InterContinental hotel and I do mean that in a very good way as I love this hotel chain and stay often: -clean -modern décor -thoughtfully located... More

Had a nice stay here but the front desk wouldn't give me a king room, though she gave my client an upgrade. The room was lovely and staffs were friendly but there's no free internet unless you get a drink from the bar. The bartender was kind enough by giving me a password right away but I sat at the...
