Holiday Inn San Francisco - Golden Gateway, an IHG Hotel with no Resort Fee

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for the celebration of our anniversary. The reception was unexpected. Check in time was 3 pm, we were checked in at 1 pm. Every day, the Bell men and security guards gave us maps and instructions on what bus to take to explore the city and how to get back, specifically Joseph. On a rainy day, they lent us an umbrella.The facility is a walking distance from Whole foods, cable car service, bus services, and union square. Staying at this hotel literally added the spice we needed to enjoy our visit to a city we’ve never been to . As a result, we see San Francisco as one of the most enjoyable place to visit.

Pretty good location. Far away enough from the tenderloin and great access to transportation

Friendly staff, good location to sight-seeing, updated rooms, hot shower, on-site parking, vehicles clear the 5'10" with no trouble A few notes to travelers: Parking is $40+tax per night (considering you pay for parking EVERYWHERE in San Fran, it's reasonable for the area) Breakfast Buffet is $29.95 +tax per person. If you can get breakfast included with your hotel stay... do it. It is your typical hot and cold breakfast, buffet--tasty food, and coffee included. We got 15% discount to use which is helpful. Most surrounding restaurants for breakfast are $20-25 per meal, $4.75 for coffee. Upon reflection... the buffet is a reasonable price for the area.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, and it met all my expectations. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep every night. The heating and air conditioning system worked perfectly, maintaining the room at an ideal temperature. The blackout curtains were excellent, completely blocking out sunlight, whether in the morning or during the afternoon. There was plenty of space for luggage and clothing, making it easy to stay organized. I appreciated the direct USB connections, which were a thoughtful and convenient detail. The entire room, including the bathroom, was spotlessly clean, and the housekeeping service was exceptional. The staff at the lobby were attentive and always friendly, ready to assist with any request. Conversations at the bar with the staff were pleasant, as they were welcoming and kind. The overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again when visiting San Francisco.

I liked the security & cleanliness of the facility. Private parking is provided as well and it is much cheaper than other hotels charge.
