5/5 Excellent
"The staff bellboy in evening and morning were great always available to help any way. The day we checked out we were able to leave our luggage and bell boy got us umbrellas as it was raining. Parking was the lowest I shopped around and my car was safe. Transportation the streetcar stops right I front need I say more. Though San Francisco has a homeless issue (who doesn’t) I felt safe in the evening as I did not see homeless on the street hotel was on. Easy to get to public transportation it was the best experience I will definitely be staying here again next time I come to San Francisco. The beds were comfortable loves the antique bathroom heads up if you have nobility issues as if there’s a shower as the tub is tall. Highly highly recommend. "

A verified traveller stayed at Holiday Inn Golden Gateway, an IHG Hotel
"Content stay close to everything sadly did not have much time to explore will have to save that for another day. There was not much communication when checking in. it was rather frigid. But i made the most of my time after that interaction.
My best friend checked in and it was more of a warm welcoming. I am grateful for her experience with the front desk since we were celebrating her birthday in town. "
A verified traveller stayed at The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square
"My first trip to San Francisco and I couldn’t have asked for a better location the pier is 2 blocks away everything is so walkable from this location, bonusTrader Joes is just around the block also. I am a solo female travel and I felt safe in and around this location.
The restaurant and bar are a nice way to start or end your evening, if you prefer there is coffee and tea in the lobby where you can sit inside at the fireplace or outside in courtyard in the AM or enjoy your wine in evening with some-mores .
The staff were so helpful and pleasant and readily answered or assisted with details to enable guest to enjoy their stay.
I will definitely stay here when I travel to SFO!

"Great staff, great and clean facilities, Walkable to many shops around the property. The bed and pillows aren’t the most comfy but overall a great stay. "
