Great location and a convenient base for exploring San Francisco! We had a great stay at the Holiday Inn during our visit to San Francisco. The hotel was in a fantastic location and made a great base for exploring the city. Our rental car was unfortunately too tall for the hotel’s parking garage, but we found another parking garage just two blocks away, which was really convenient and worked out well for us. The hotel was also close to Pier 39 and other attractions. We decided to leave the car parked and used Waymo taxis to get around the city, which made exploring San Francisco really easy. Overall, a great hotel in an excellent location. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco!
