Outstanding

We enjoyed staying at the Holiday Inn Express. The only thing I didn't like was the parking fee, it cost $47 a night (includes tax) to park. There's really nowhere to park so your really locked into paying this fee. Overall, the hotel was great, the staff were friendly and helpful.

Nightlife tip: Short walk from hotel

There's a bar at the corner of Beach and Levensworth, named The Parlor. We had a little bit of trouble there because they refused to let a few of our friends in the club. We're not exactly sure why because they kept giving them different excuses. I can only assume why but don't have any proof. I wouldn't recommend this club because you just don't know how selective they're going to be.

GREAT LOCATION, GREAT HOTEL...

Great hotel; great location...but I'm never coming back to San Francisco! Great location...about a block from famed Fisherman's Wharf. Easy walking, very convenient and safe. Great hotel for the San Francisco price...friendly staff; very accommodating. Wonderful free breakfast in the morning! In plain language...San Francisco is terrible. The whole Fisherman's Wharf area shuts down--yes, is closed--at 11:00 pm at night. You can't even get a bite to eat or a drink. All those restaurants on the pier...and no food/no drinks beyond 11:00 pm...what! Transportation was stupid, too. Waited endless hours for non-existent trolleys/cable cars/ and bus lines...full of excuses and lame stories. In plain language...what a bozo city. Excessively overpriced hotels and fish at goofey restaurants...grossly unreliable transportation...and weird-looking tourists. Save your money...go somewhere normal!

Tourist Dive Hotel

A $47 parking fee required per night. Breakfast not available on time as indicated. Breakfast not up to par as compared with other Holiday Inn Express hotels. Business center PC's didn't even have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, the printers didn't work. Young children of middle management playing in lobby. Stay away from this Holiday Inn Express.

Shopping tip: Not Applicable

Most of the San Francisco jackets and other trinkets can be purchased in China Town at more than half price. Take the cable car to China Town, have a great mean and shop for great bargains.

Fabulous Frisco

Coming from the flatlands and 700 miles from water, we enjoyed the wonderful seafood and everything we needed was in walking distance.

Perfect place to stay when in San Fran

My daughter and her husband, my husband, and I went for a 1 week vacation. We had two separate rooms and everything was great. Spotless rooms, helpful staff, computer access was great when I hadn't brought my laptop. Location couldn't be better.

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

Buy the 7-day Muni Pass when you get to San Francisco. That allows you transportation on all of the municipal owned cable cars, buses, street cars, etc., to get all over the city. We never had to call the taxi once.
