California Hotel Reviews

5/5 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our stay. Great service and very clean"

A verified traveller from North Augusta stayed at Handlery Hotel

5/5 Excellent

"We loved our stay at this Holiday Inn! The location was a great home base for all our adventures in San Francisco! Our two rooms had amazing views of the city and the bay. They were clean and had everything we needed. The beds are doubles, not queens, but we knew this going into it. The pool was a little chilly due to the shade in the afternoon, but you can’t beat the view from the pool deck! My kids didn’t mind the temperature. The breakfast buffet is excellent, but a little pricey. We ate there once and then explored other good dining options around the area. This hotel is walking distance to the Civic Center Big Bus stop, if you want to do the Big Bus tour of the city!"
