Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Holiday Inn San Francisco - Golden Gateway Newly Renovated With No Resort Fee from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently appreciate the hotel's strategic location, providing easy access to various tourist spots, including a 10-minute cable car ride to Pier 39, with the California Cable Car Line literally next to the property. Rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, featuring comfortable beds and amenities like a Keurig coffee machine and USB plugs. While breakfast is generally well-received, some guests noted the menu remained the same over a few days, and others that the breakfast wasn't included. The hotel also offers good security, requiring a key to enter the building at night.

excellent cable car access

clean hotel cable car garage access
the hotel was clean. it had location directly by the cable car line. this offered access to sights, enjoyable for our kids (they loved it!). the garage included in and out access.
i found the hotel room had only one drawer. the keurig machine used drawer space. this limits clothing storage.

I appreciated the hotel's location. it was very convenient! the ac unit was new and worked effectively. the bathroom was clean. the wi-fi was reliable throughout my stay. I had a fast connection!
The deposit wasn't explained well at check-in. it took longer than expected to receive my deposit back. the lack of clear communication was frustrating. I wish there had been a receipt.

elevator noise falling asleep
The hotel was close to the wharf. It was acceptable for what i needed.
the elevators were a real problem. the constant grumbling noise happened when it goes up and down, and it was very annoying. i had a hard time falling asleep and woke up a lot during the night.
