Please do not take rooms next to the elevators. The noise from the moving elevator cars is pretty bothersome.

Excellent!

We were in San Francisco on vacation and stayed at the Holiday Inn on Van Ness. It was beyond our expectations. The staff was exceptional in every way. The food was very good and the coffee was excellent! We will definitely be staying at Holiday Inns in the future. Thanks for a great stay!
