The front desk staff were lovely and made for a pleasant interaction. However, the room was incredibly run-down and even had bloodstains. It was a very disappointing stay. I never imagined it could be so dirty.

The carpet was terribly dirty, clearly never deep cleaned, which was frustrating every day. The facilities are old. I'd rather stay a bit further away, at least it would be clean.

Great location, felt very safe. Plus, there's a Whole Foods Market right next door! The room itself was fantastic, facing directly onto San Francisco's core CBD – a truly wonderful view. It was a bit small, but definitely enough space to move around. Service was decent, nothing exceptional. I was pleasantly surprised that a room was ready when I arrived early, but then they tried to give me a standard king room which felt a bit like a bait-and-switch. I had to go back and insist on getting the corner room I originally booked, which was a bit sneaky of them.

Holiday Inn is always a reliable choice! 👍 The hotel's location is excellent, in one of San Francisco's safer areas. It's also quite close to Chinatown and the Financial District, with convenient public transport access and plenty of supermarkets and pharmacies downstairs. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the front desk service is attentive, and there's even a gym and pool with no resort fee.

The hotel itself was decent. The facilities weren't old, and the space was alright. The lobby was quite large. Service was just average. Among San Francisco hotels, this one is about mid-range. It's just okay.

We chose the Holiday Inn San Francisco-Golden Gateway primarily for its location, and it did not disappoint! The hotel is situated very conveniently right near the starting point of the cable car, which made getting around San Francisco incredibly easy and fun. The hotel itself was clean, and the staff were generally helpful. The only notable drawback was the breakfast. While adequate, the menu was the same every single day throughout our stay. If you plan on having breakfast at the hotel for multiple mornings, be prepared for limited variety. Overall: Highly recommended for travelers who prioritize location and transportation access. If varied breakfast options are essential, you might want to consider dining out nearby.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn San Francisco Golden Gateway. Among all the Holiday Inn hotels we’ve stayed at, this is definitely one of the best. The location is very convenient. Within a few minutes’ walk, we could easily get fresh groceries at Whole Foods Market, which was a big plus. The hotel’s breakfast also offers a wide selection of food, making it a great way to start the day. Public transport is another highlight — buses are easily accessible on foot, which makes the whole city feel much closer and very convenient to explore from this hotel. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. We especially appreciated the higher-floor views of the city. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money in San Francisco. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
