“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

This hotel was in a great location. Walking distance to the wharf, which we spent a lot of time. We stayed for 2 nights. The rooms were nice with lots of pillows. It was a little confusing finding the main lobby as the area that our GPS took us USED to be the main lobby, it is NOW around the block. Fortunately, they had phones at the old location so we could call and get directions.

The one thing we did not like, was they do not offer wi-fi in the rooms, only in the lobby. They do have an Ethernet cable in the room, but the tablet we brought does not have an Ethernet connection, so we were unable to use it in the room.

The breakfast's are great. They include, hard boiled eggs, omelets, danish, bagels, pancakes, cereals, sausage or bacon (alternate days), cereals. So, not your typical continental breakfasts.

I really like the Holiday Inn Express chains, I just wish they would put mini fridges and microwaves in the rooms.

“Great place with friendly staff and great breakfast!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

We only were able to stay a couple days but this is one place we will come back to. Great location and close to everythng esp the muni line (transit system). You can get anywhere in the city just from out front if you want or just a short walk to Fisherman's Wharf piers and Ghiradelli Square. From the time we checked in (and they let us in a little early) the staff was very friendly and helpful. Got a room looking toward the wharf and it was clean and nice. Took us a minute with the TV remote because it was an older TV and you had to push the button to turn it on really hard but once we figured that, it was fine. The staff answered our questions any time (even though we probably got a little annoying asking so many) but they helped us with bus routes and places to eat and we thoroughly enjoyed speaking with them. I hate that I didn't get their names because I usually try to so I can give them props but they were all nice and helpful. The continental breakfast was a big plus to help us save money but it was also very good with plenty of choices... eggs, bacon or sausage (changes from day to day), cereal, bagels, toast, muffins, cinnamon rolls, biscuits and gravy and a variety of beverages. It was very nice and clean area to eat with lots of room! We will be back!!

“Excellent hotel to stay in.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

Two family members and I stayed here for two nights in November on our way back to New Zealand from Europe and found the hotel to be excellent, the rooms were nice and clean and quiet, the staff were very helpful and the breakfast was fabulous. The location was great, within walking distance to the famous Fisherman's Wharf and Alcatraz.
A great place to stay, would definately come back.

“Comfortable .”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

We stayed in this hotel for 6 nights , from 18th Dec to 24th Dec and i would say it was a rather comfortable stay. It was just a few minutes walk to cable cars, fisherman's wharf, shops, eateries, restaurants and many different piers, making it very convinient indeed . The check in was relatively quick and the staff was very friendly and accomodating. They were always ready to share with us the must-sees and must-dos in the city and even patiently offered us many routes/transport that we could take to reach our destination. The room was relatively clean and free of any stench/insects or whatsoever. The only problem is that the furniture did look a TAD old however it wasn't such an eyesore as the beds were very comfortable and the room was rather spacious. However, i was also quite disturbed by the fact that you could hear the doors of other rooms slamming shut and even intermittently, you can actually hear the cable cars zoom right past the street next to the hotel. It was very bearable though (: We were surprised though by the relatively wide spread of choices for the breakfast, considering the fact that it was free. On the whole, it was a very pleasant experience in this hotel and i would consider coming back here if i were to visit San Francisco again !

“Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

I spent six days 12/6 to 12/11 at the Holiday Inn Express Fishersman's Wharf, San Francisco and it was absolutely GREAT. Great staff, clean room, quiet, wonderful breakfast buffet and outstanding location to visit many great tourist attractions. I would stay there again in a second!

Room Tip: We were on the 4th floor, a room in the back and it was sooo quiet!
