Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and even better experience. Only place I will stay when in SF"

Hotel Garrett

2/10 Terrible

"Staying in this Hotel was a nightmare. The hotel offered free self parking but it’s a lie. They have like 10 parking space only but they charge 57 dollars to park there or in another hotel near by. I decide to park on the street my car got hit by another person who stay in this hotel. They charge $200 dollars deposit and the service is bad. But the thing that upset me the most was the parking in this place is a nightmare."

Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco

8/10 Good

"The building itself is truly impressive, with a sense of history and grandeur that makes a strong first impression. The location is also excellent, very convenient for exploring San Francisco. That said, some areas of the hotel feel dated. The hallways in particular look old and have a harsh white lighting that feels more like a hospital than a luxury property. The rooms have high ceilings and a good size, which is a plus, but the bathrooms are relatively small. The white lighting in the rooms also creates a very cold ambiance, which takes away from the overall comfort. In general, much of the furniture throughout the hotel could benefit from a renovation. Overall, it’s a beautiful historic property in a great location. With some thoughtful modernization that respects and blends with the hotel’s classic character, it could truly be exceptional."
