We stayed at this hotel in late April for 3 nights.
Firstly its a long way from the International airport,we shared the many mini buses that operate and it cost us approx 18 dollars per person from the airport but coming back you can ring one from the hotel magazine which cost only 10 dollars each.
The hotel is nice enough and has most of the features you expect from the Holiday Inn chain,including an outdoor pool which considering it was the hottest april on record was well used.
We didnt eat in the hotel but the food looked ok the twice we visited the bar.Although the resturant seemed a little overpriced.
The staff were very welcoming which was nice to see.
We walked to almost every place we wanted to get to(wear flat shoes)
Fishermans wharf is a must and we both loved it there(even though its touristy) with plenty going on for most tastes.
Jacks was our favourite bar with a pint costing 2 dollars(they also have strongbow and newcastle brown on draft!!) food was also very reasonable in there.
The Irish bar behind the Arganaut Hotel is also another pleasant bar with live music.
We also walked all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge from our hotel which took for ever but was worth it and then after a stunning ice cream at the beach we walked back.
All in all we loved our stay in San Fransico and would def return one day,maybe even to the Holiday Inn
