This is refurbished property steps away from the Powell Street cable car turnaround and close to the 38 bus top. The queen bed was comfortable. The bathroom was surprisingly large for a refurbished building. The staff were very helpful and engaging. The complementary breakfast is standard Holiday Inn fare.

I liked this property. It was super convenient for shopping, eating, and entertainment. The only thing that didnt make this an excellent star for me was parking. You had to park a bloack or so down from the property, on the 4 floor and up. Once I got into my room. I was amazed at how the layout was. It was a simple room but absolutely amazing.
