We arrived at the Columbus Street address. The greeting was very friendly, then the bombshell. You are in our beach street building. There is very limited parking (maybe 10 spaces). If you cannot find parking there you can park here at the main location.
Our hotel stay was good. The staff was very helpful, especially with directions to attractions. You are only one street over from the pier. I would certainly stay there again.
My complaint is that we had to pay $41.00 a day for parking that was blocks away from our hotel. I think it is bad that the hotel charges their clients more for parking than public parking charges. The kicker being that the parking may not even be at your hotel.

1. the hotel should warn customers on its main reception/check-in desk. otherwise there was no staff on duty in another building, as well as no warning at its garage gate. and we ended up draging our luggage b/n different hotel buildings.
2. why?why?why? summer/very light bedspreads in mid-February? and noisy AC/heater ruined the night sleep.
Comfort and convenience.

My wife and I stayed at this Holiday Inn for a week at the end of January 2009 and found it to be an exceptional value. The room was large, clean and the king-size bed was most comfortable. The bathroom was clean but could have used some type of separate heater - it always felt cold in there. The restaurant was way over-priced, so we never ate there. Disappointed that there was no free continental breakfast or even free coffee. The staff was friendly and helpful. The concierges were outstanding. We traveled the city on public transportation and never had a problem getting anywhere thanks to their helpful directions and recommendations. The location is ideal for doing the "wharf thing" or heading uptown on a bus, trolley or cablecar. An excellent choice of lodging, especially for the traveler on a budget.
Simple but good

The people working at the hotel were very friendly. The only thing that was a bit of a bummer was that parking is $39 a day, plus tax. Other than that the only other complaint we had was that there was no water in their vending machine on our floor and there were quarters jammed in that same machine. The hotel is in a great area since it is just about walking distance to many shops and a short walk to the trolley! I would definitely stay here again. Its very clean and surprisingly quiet.
Location trumps so-so quality

You can't beat the convenience if you want Fisherman's Wharf at your backdoor, but the parking fee is very steep (cheaper options are available nearby in public garages) and when we were there only one elevator was working in the "Beach street building" where our room was. No complimentary breakfast, but having Denny's in the building is a plus Concierge very helpful.
Would stay again if using public transportation.
