“Holiday Inn Golden Gateway impressed me with its recent renovations and prime location, particularly given the absence of a resort fee - a rarity in San Francisco; proximity to cable car lines and major attractions like Fisherman's Wharf and Chinatown sweeten the deal. For families, the 'kids eat free' policy is a notable perk, alongside the spacious meeting facilities that cater to business travelers. Overall, it strikes me as a practical choice for visitors seeking both convenience and value.”
