    Clean, comfortable, good location
    We've spent 3 nights here, while arriving to SF. The hotel is very clean and nice. The rooms are comfortable and the king size bed is.. Huge. The location is also good for public transportation, and if you like walking around like us, you can reach alot of nice places by foot.

    We loved our room! We had a corner suit on the 22nd floor. It was perfect. The staff was amazing. It was close to everything. They gave us a free BTL of champagne for our anniversary. I would go back for sure!

    Dear Holiday Inn staff. I am planning to visit San Francisco end of Sept. I was wondering if the hotel is currently having renovation done as seen from Google Earth? And also what the best way to get to the hotel from the airport? Thanks. Cy
    take the Bart to the bus 47. It leaves you off about 2 blocks from hotel. You can verify route at the Bart information or Muni
