I have stayed in a lot of places in San Francisco. This Holiday Inn is one of the best in this price range. It is moderately priced, has lovely city view rooms that are very clean, has affordable parking with in and out, has a restaurant on site if you need it but is also centrally located for quick access to all parts of the city. We will be back.
