“Terrible place”

Reviewed June 15, 2013 NEW

This is an overpriced hotel with poor and impersonal service, very noisy and in a far from pleasant area. I'm used to many Holiday Inns particularly in Europe and always appreciated their service and simplicity. This one does not fit. When rushing one morning to a business meeting and missing breakfast I dared to ask for a banana to take... More

“Average hotel, broken wifi”

Reviewed June 11, 2013

Hotel is a little dated, but clean. Staff were very friendly. I was in town for business and was extremely frustrated with the internet access, which is unreliable at best. It's essentially unusable. Pretty much a dealbreaker for me for future stays, in the year 2013... Completely unusable internet access. I don't consider this to be a representative branch of... More

Thank you for your taking the time to evaluate our property. We’re pleased you found our staff to be friendly and hotel to be clean. We greatly apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the internet connection. Our hotel has been working diligently on advancing our wifi service to ensure guest satisfaction and we will soon have this matter resolved.... More

“Service was checked at the door!”

Reviewed June 8, 2013 via mobile

In the USA I was promised great service, too bad holiday inn did not deliver! The only exception was the awesome door man who was so great to deal with. The wifi did not work half the time and when I complained I was told "it's free ain't it"! The room service was awful, I could have thrown the pancakes... More

Thank you for your feedback. We regret your stay did not reflect our customary service excellence. We are currently in the process of upgrading our wifi reception. Regardless of whether or not the service is free, does not excuse if it is not functioning properly and you should not have been given that response by any means. We are sorry... More

“Loved how clean it felt!”

Reviewed June 7, 2013

Our favorite hotel after a week long road trip. It felt very clean and we let out a sigh of relief after not having great luck at other places. We had a great room with a patio that you could walk out and view some of the city. It also had a pool on the 4th floor which my kids... More

“Hotel staff a JEWEL”

Reviewed June 3, 2013

Everything I encountered from my stay at this hotel was above my expectations in service. The staff are all inordinately kind in their hospitality, and incomparably excellent in the execution of their craft. For example, my waiter for breakfast was Suchoul, and he was the best waiter I've ever had. His every sentence included the word "sir," my water glass... More

“Nice Staff, terrible neighborhood”

Reviewed June 1, 2013

Due to construction across the street, the hotel provides you with ear plugs... Due to location, you cannot walk back to your hotel at night and can only park your car in the hotel garage. Homeless and dug addicts own the neighborhood. It says it all. However, the service is excellent with the most pleasant and efficient staff and diligent... More

Being that our location is situated with close proximity to City Hall, public transportation, and dining, there are many people with a range of backgrounds whom pass through the bustling downtown area.

“At the fringe of the city”

Reviewed May 31, 2013

Convenient location within walking distance to the Union Square shopping area, but if you take a wrong turn, you walk into the old Industrial warehousing area, which has plenty of poor people sleeping by the road side at night. So, you will want to be very careful when u go out in the evenings.Old fashion tramcars and metro are within... More

Thank you for your four star rating. There is some great shopping to do in San Francisco and we’re happy you found our location convenient to the many retail stores in Union Square.

“Unlikely to try this hotel again”

Reviewed May 28, 2013

The hotel was average, but the area was full of homeless/drugged people. The gym did not have weights and pulley systems. Only a couple of treadmills and crosstrainers. I liked the balcony attached to my room.

Thank you for your feedback. We do have an in-house fitness center for guests, but we also have a partnership with local gym, Civic Center Fitness, where our hotel’s guests have complimentary access for the duration of their stay with us. The gym is only one block from our hotel at 37 Grove Street. We apologize for not making this... More

“Good value hotel”

We stayed there for five days and enjoyed our stay. The location of the hotel was fairly good although there seemed to be a lot of street people in the area, but they weren't a problem. Catching local transport was fairly easy and we were able to make our way to any area we wanted with no problem. Their breakfast... More
