We stayed 1 night during our honeymoon & the staff was really nice & helpful. Booked through Priceline so it was cheaper than usual. The bell hops were a lot of help & the computers were convenient.

This hotel offers fair prices and a decent hotel experience. The BEST part is the location. You don't need to pay top dollar to have a prime location. Walk to it all - Fishermans Wharf, Alcatraz tours, tons of restaurants, cable car and on and on. Truly a fabulous location. Hotel staff were very accommodating and friendly. The rooms are... More

Paid $125 via Hotwire for a May booking. Parking was $40 a day. Dennys in the building was nice and the location was perfect - right in the heart of the wharf area, some bars 2 blocks away, safe at night and very clean big rooms. 1-2 blocks away from trolley stop. Could not of asked for more as a... More

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate my 50th birthday and our 30th wedding anniversary. Like other hotels in the Fisherman's Wharf area, they are a bit pricey. And, yes, there is an older hotel in the area that is a little less costly, but, if you are accustomed to air conditioning, you may want to be sure you... More

I knew I had a winner in Holiday Inn no matter where I stayed. I was in San Fransisco for 2 nights on a short trip by myself. The room was comfortable, i had 2 queens so i slept in one and had my stuff all over the other one so that worked out quite nicely in organising myself after... More

Holiday Inn Fisherman's Wharf is a hotel best suited to those who wish to take advantage of it's tourist-friendly location, only a few blocks walk away from the hustle and bustle of Fisherman's wharf. The hotel decor, front desk staff, and room size were all average. The car park cost was quite high at 1/4 the room price, which in... More

We flew from Australia to LA, changed planes & flew to San Fran, total of 20 hours & arrived to be given an outdated, small room for 3 people overlooking a brick wall & dumpster. The wind whistle all night through the vent in the bathroom, could be heard even with door closed. It was a noisy, dingy hotel &... More

I thought this hotel was just fine. I stayed in a room with a double bed. Everything was clean and there were no weird smells. It was quiet and theres a coffee stand downstairs. Very basic but has everything you need.

Very very handy to fishermans wharf, that is the only thing going for this hotel. I am still here about to spend a final sleepless night in my outdated room that we paid an extortionate fee for. You can hear every noise through the walls, the gaps and noise coming through the door is unbelievable. Room is very outdated, clean... More

Best thing about this hotel was the location - right next to Fisherman's Wharf and within easy walking distance of both cable car lines and multiple buses, as well as with a steady stream of cabs flowing past. Welcome was warm, room was large, clean and pretty comfortable - about what you expect with a Holiday Inn, nothing flashy but... More
