We ended up in San Francisco in our return trip from Portland, Oregon, at around 12:30 PM. We had not made any reservations and we passed other properties outside of the city limits. All of a sudden we were super tired and got lost on or around the center of the city. Finally, through the technology of our GPS, we found the Holiday Inn mentioned above.
The room was expensive: $200+ (or perhaps the night clerk saw my tired face and stuck it to me), the parking alone was $45 for the night. It was too late so I bought the room or my traveling companions were going to lynch me for not being better organized.
The room had two queens and a sofa bed. The carpet was very dirty, the beds hard and the pillows very firm. No breakfast, no newspaper the next day, our emergency stay (almost) did not yield any dividend. This city is cold in more ways than one and that night I found out how cold. A person traveling would be better served by locating better properties, that I am sure abound, but staying at this location is very stressful. Advice? Skip it all together!
This city is unforgiving when not properly prepared and everything cost more money than usual. We also went to a new peruvian restaurant at El Embarcadero and that finish us off.
Less than 12 hours and we had already dished out around $400.
The rooms at this Holiday Inn are somewhat spacious but everything else is unimpressive and expensive, as I mentioned earlier.
Travelers must be warned to look for the best deals before setting foot in this town. The Holiday Inn mentioned is not the best deal by a long shot. Sucks big lemons, if you know what I mean.
