Good location, comfortable stay

Liked:Overall, this was a good stay. The location is very good for access to BART, MUNI Metro as well as historic street cars. The staff I dealt with with were polite and friendly. Check in and check out was efficient. The hotel was happy to hold on to a suitcase for a few hours on check out. The room was comfortable and spacious. The air conditioning was effective. There is a coffee machine and pods provided in the room. Coffee pods were replaced daily. The in room safe would not lock for the duration of the stay. This was despite drawing the attention of reception to this fact. Breakfast was included in the cost of the stay, and offered a good level of choice. However, a minor criticism is that the room where breakfast is a very small space and appears too small for the size of the hotel. On two of the five mornings that I had breakfast in the hotel I had to bring my breakfast back up in the elevator to my room, because there was simply no space left in the room to have breakfast. The windows of the hotel were very dirty throughout my five night stay and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months. There is also a bar at street level under the hotel and this was, at times in the evening, a source of considerable noise.

A Pleasant Stay Near Union Square – Super Comfy Beds and Great Breakfast!

Liked:We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better – it’s right next to Union Square and makes getting to all the main attractions really easy. Despite being in downtown, the hotel was surprisingly quiet, and we slept very well. We enjoyed the breakfast, which was quite sufficient and offered a nice variety. It was a buffet-style setup, and I especially loved the white egg veggie omelet. There were plenty of healthy options that fit my daily protein intake needs, which I really appreciated. Check-in and check-out were both very quick, and the staff were always friendly and welcoming. Our room was cleaned every day, with fresh sheets and towels provided daily. The only downsides were that the window was quite dirty, making it hard to enjoy the view outside, and the showerhead had low water pressure. It would be great if they could clean the windows more often and improve the water pressure in the shower. I’d definitely stay here again. It was excellent value for money!

Very pleasant stay and great location in downtown San Francisco

Liked:Very pleasant stay and excellent location in San Francisco. The rooms are comfortable, well insulated against outside sounds, and the breakfast is pretty good, at least according to expectations for Holiday Inn Express. As a European, I'd prefer a breakfast that generates less waste. In particular, metal silverware and reusable dishes are much more enjoyable than their disposable versions. The staff is friendly and helpful too.
