Fairly comfortable hotel for a 2 night stay in San Francisco. Within walking distance to Fishermans Wharf and Pier 39 however 1 drawback was traffic noise. We had a ground floor room with a road junction just outside our window and it didn't appear to be double glazed. All in all though a good location. Room was clean and comfortable... More

Spent our last two nights here before returning home from our road trip. Rooms are clean and a decent size with comfortable beds. Some noise from the roads but nothing too bad. Complimentary one hour extension to our check out time which was good. Dennys on site for breakfast

Nice enough hotel in grear location but they lack one very important element in the rooms that are roadside and thats double glazing! Its like there are no windows there at all! Fishermans wharf doesnt shut down so be prepared. The do provide ear plugs! If they sorted the soundproofing I'd be giving them a 4*

Another lovely Hotel, the Holiday Inn at the Wharf District in San Francisco is just the very best place to be based. Down near the wharfs many tours, attractions and cable car and trolley cars start from this point so it’s the ideal place to be situated. The piers with eclectic mix of restaurants to the famous Clam Chowder, Boudins... More

The location of this hotel could not be better in terms of access to Fisherman's wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge area and parks. The hotel was clean, modern and the staff fantastic. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hotel given the price we paid.

As has been mentioned in other reviews, the location of the hotel is perfect for walking around and to access public transportation. We stayed in the hotel for 6 nights and were very pleased. Despite the size of the hotel, it never felt crowded and was very quiet overall! The king sized bed was clean and comfortable. The room itself... More

I stayed here recently for work... The hotel is clean, but old (think popcorn ceilings, slightly stained bathtubs). The staff was very friendly all around. The bed was definitely not the most comfortable I've slept in. I did quite a bit of walking during my trip, and was able to make it to North Beach, China Town, Union Square and... More

Booking on line through hotels.com, at the cheap rate I thought Holiday Inn might be a bit run down and in a dodgy part of town. to my surprise it is located a block back from Fisherman's Wharf and the hotel and facilities are very nice indeed. Our room and bathroom are large and all amenities are available. Would definitely... More

Be warned. Breakfast is not included in room rate at this hotel. After staying in hotels and motels for three weeks in the States, we were advised that breakfast would be served between 7 and 10 and then were extremely surprised to be hit with a bill of $50 for two buffet breakfasts...not impressed. The girl in the gift shop... More

Perfect location for walking around all of Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, and Ghiaradelli Square, etc. Close to public transportation, and cable cars. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. Staff was very helpful. I would definitely stay there again.
