I really enjoyed my stay at the Holiday Inn and would absolutely stay there again. It was way more spacious than most San Francisco hotel rooms, it was immaculately clean and comfortable, it had a quality breakfast with lots of variety and a fun bar, and it was situated close to some fun neighborhoods for eating and shopping.
