Despite the lack of places to park the car (is too expensive let the car inside the hotel), there are a cable car stop right on the corner, very good location. more

very central location in San Francisco. Generally clean hotel. Too noisy at night though. Double glazing didn't seem very effective at all. Take ear plugs! Would try a different hotel another time. more

We travelled across the USA on a tour organised by Great Rail Journeys of York between the 7th and 27th October 2009. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway on Van Ness which is close to the cable car terminus. Our room was one of the smaller rooms we had experienced on our trip, but it was clean and... more

I had a hard time trying to pick the "right" hotel for our first trip to San Francisco. I didn't want to stay somewhere sketchy (the hotel or the neighbourhood). This hotel is in a great location. It was clean. Is convenient and central to the touristy places in the city. You can catch the California line cable car or... more

The only thing good about this hotel was the location. Very centrally located, but horrible rooms. Tiny bathroom with a stained shower curtain and dirty tile. This hotel has supposedly been renovated but still looks and feels like it is from the 1980s. Not modern at all and not worth the 3 star rating. Makes me never want to stay... more

Bus stop at corner of hotel goes directly to Fisherman's Wharf(20 min. ride). Also trolley ends in front of hotel and goes... more

My recent San Francisco trip brought be back to the Holiday Inn, which hosted the Sundance Stompede weekend. My stay included 4 nights. Overall the room wasn't bad, room seemed to clean and bathroom worked fine. My biggest complaint was the wireless internet, which was very slow. Otherwise the Location is very easy to get onto the historic cable cars... more

Half way along Van Ness next to the start of the cablecar. Drab looking place with dull reception and very average rooms. Buses 47 and 49 run down Van Ness from water frontage to civic buildings. Breakfast expensive. Many local options for food or preferably go down to pier area for excellent fish. Superb city and many better options than... more

We had 5 nights here and the location was good for the cable car and trams. The hotel itself was ok not exciting but clean. We asked for an upgrade and got a room on the 19th floor with views of the bay - for nothing! Do not eat there though as the breakfast was expensive and not that good,... more
