Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG
"We have stayed here before and had a great experience. This time our first room had a smoke smell to it so I went back to the front desk and they immediately switched our room, no questions asked. I was very appreciative since we didn’t want our clothes to smell as we went out. The rooms are great! ..."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
"The room was very clean, but didn't really have a view. The location was perfect for walking to Pier 39, China Town, etc. This more than made up for the lack of a 24 hour coffee/tea/water bar that we have been accustomed to in all of our travel from Peru to Egypt."
