Perfect San Fran hotel
This was a lovely hotel that is walking distance to Chinatown and Japantown. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The customer service was fantastic and they kept a security guard by the elevators. It was an easy spot to get an Uber. The surrounding area was safe and clean. Its was a great stay.

Book through holidayinn.com not here
Nice holiday inn in the middle of SF. Booked the room through hotels.com, but the holiday inn trouble accessing the correct reservation, which caused the bill to be incorrect. I would recommend booking through Holiday Inn and not this website.

Would recommend to stay here
Had a great stay. It was in a good location with lots of options for food and some bars nightlife that we walked to within 5-10 min distance. It was a little loud at night in a sense that emergency vehicles passed by often but our room was facing the Main Street. Would stay here again.

Friends Trip
Great location! You can find parking on the street but like any city, it is difficult. The hotel charged about $50 per night for parking but the garage is sealed so it's pretty safe. The parking space is SMALL, perhaps that's all spots in San Francisco. But I had a Chevy Malibu as a rental and I couldn't turn the car around without having to do a 4-5 point maneuver. Aside from the parking, it was a great location, the rooms were clean, larger than what I expected. I went with a couple of friends and it was more than enough space. 10/10 would stay here again

Amazing city and bay views
Amazing views of the city and the bay from 23rd floor. Friendly and helpful reception counter staff. Helped us get a 7-day visitor MUNi pass for the cable car system. Location at California and van Ness was perfect for cable car access to all venues and tourist sights. Only downside was no recycling bins in the room.

6/10 Good

Good initially
Impressive on arrival and check in. Room interior good though slightly small with a fantastic view (25th floor). Buffet breakfast well presented but $30 per person?? Dining menu for the rest of the day was limited and repetitive as other than the "daily special" nothing else changed during our stay. On two evenings the dining area was cordoned off for Air China staff use only leaving a smaller area for other guests - we only actually saw one person use the area. When arriving to eat, we were asked to prepay for our meals and drinks so the gratuity was paid before experiencing the quality of service, not the dining practice we are used to.
