“Surprised and Refreshed”

Reviewed June 13, 2013 NEW

Over the years, this particular Holiday Inn Express has been one which I call home when in the San Francisco area. It is very convenient to the 101 and entrance to San Francisco and yet quiet and reasonable. It also has a paved walking/running path in the marshy area behind the hotel and next to the waterway. It is delightful!... More

“Great stay!”

Reviewed June 13, 2013 NEW via mobile

We stayed here for one night at the end of a Napa/San Fran trip. The hotel is right off the expressway making it very convenient. The front desk staff is very very helpful and gave us a cheerful and enthusiastic welcome. They answered many questions and patiently assisted us in room selection. The complimentary breakfast was well stocked and managed.... More

“Not bad, unless you like to sleep”

Reviewed June 9, 2013

I'm currently staying at this hotel on a 3-night stay because it was centrally located to both San Francisco and Napa. I rarely write reviews, but I had to echo what some others have said. The biggest issue with this property is that the floors and walls are paper thin. You can hear people talking like they're in your room.... More

Upon arrival at the hotel, 6/3/2013. we asked if we could see a room before completing our check in. We were told by Tim and his co-worker that would not be possible as they were close to being sold out and if something were to happen during the showing of the room, they would not have any housekeeping staff that...

“Expected more, especially for the price.”

Reviewed June 6, 2013

Check-in was efficient. Property looks nice, in a nice setting with access to lots of things to do. Walls are thin, hallway noise, people walking on the floor above, not very well insulated against noise. New"ish" with some signs of wear and some sloppy paint work in my room. Decent restaurant attached. Would fit more in the $89 range not... More

My ratings may be too low but the system does not account for different levels of hotels. The staff try hard and are helpful but it is not a luxury hotel. However it is a good hotel for its class of hotels. If you are looking for a medium priced hotel this is a good bet. It is close to... More
