Holiday Inn Express & Suites San Francisco Fishermans Wharf , An Ihg Hotel

“Great location and nice rooms”

Booked this for its location in San Francisco but it turned out to be such a good value hotel. Breakfast was basic but can’t argue with it being included in the price.

Booked this for its location in San Francisco but it turned out to be such a good value hotel. Breakfast was basic but can’t argue with it being included in the price. Location is great for Fishermans wharf and the start of the hop on hop off bus. In a couple of mins walk you could see great views of the Golden Gate Bridge as well as Alcatraz Rooms were spacious and clean.

“Convienent location, clean, and comfortable. ”

This was a great location convienently within walking distance to restaurants, Pier 39 and the Wharf, and Alcatraz landing. Checkin was easy, breakfast had plenty of options, and ride share drop off and pick up were convenient. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and we slept great.

“Great Staff, Bad Location, Get Ready to Pay a Premium For Parking and a View”

This hotel is doing what they can with what they have but Fisherman's Wharf isn't what it used to be. The hotel itself is nice, the staff is outstanding, but the lack of a pool, either indoor or outdoor, is a lost opportunity.

This hotel is doing what they can with what they have but Fisherman's Wharf isn't what it used to be. The hotel itself is nice, the staff is outstanding, but the lack of a pool, either indoor or outdoor, is a lost opportunity. Worse, I bought the daily parking package and I honestly still don't know what I got for it other than something the manager told me about having guaranteed, priority parking. There's a big sign out front touting valet parking for $65.00 plus tax per day so I doubt they'd turn you away if you checked in without the parking package but hey, I could be wrong and I didn't want to gamble. Likewise, I paid extra for a bay view and I'm glad I did because if we had one of the internally facing rooms we'd have opened our curtains to see the room across from us and this red, cement floor below. That wouldn't have made us happy. That said, what they call a bay view is really a "pier view" because the piers across the way obstruct the view of the bay. It does produce a cool optical illusion where Alcatraz appears to be perched on top of them (see the attached picture of the view from our room). Was the daily parking package and bay view worth the expensive premium we paid? Yes, because I wouldn't want to risk parking and have that internal view. But again, the area has gone so downhill that without Ghirardelli Square it wouldn't be worth visiting these days. I'd consider staying in the Holiday Inn Express located north just over the Golden Gate Bridge near Sausalito. It's more spread out, in a better neighborhood but you can still access San Francisco if you have to.

“Not the best ”

The hotel is clean and tidy and had a lot of young tourists who were banging their doors late in the evening. This was reported to the reception, who did go to ask the relevant people in room 266 to quiten down. Breafast finished at 9.30am and no bar at the property. Try the Riyu 200 yrds away i... more
