Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG
The hotel is centrally located, within a mile from every major site. The 1st room I got smelled of cigarettes and I asked to be moved to another room. This new room was good size and clean but the closet door was falling apart. All in all, it's a good option in SF. could use some renovation...
