Holiday Inn Express - Fisherman's Wharf

San Francisco, California

3.5 stars

In the middle of Fisherman's Wharf, you'll find yourself in a great spot, close to PIER 39 and Ghirardelli Square. The famous cable car turnaround is just outside too, so you can easily get to other neighbourhoods. There's a smart, maritime theme throughout the hotel making it a warm, relaxing respite from the city. And an American breakfast will fire you up for the day. Why not head over to the notorious ex-prison Alcatraz, wander around vibrant Chinatown or take a walk down to the Golden Gate Bridge.

“Central to most attractions in the city”

Apr 03, 2026Zeec201457

We stayed here for 3 nights. It is walking distance to many attractions such as the fisherman’s wharf, pier 39, street cars, Ghirardelli square, Lombard Street, and pier 33 Alcatraz. Check in and check out was very quick and efficient. We were not offered Expedia VIP upgrade but it was fine. Staff are very nice. Valet parking was great ( we got a package deal through Expedia). The breakfast was basic but decent. Elevators can be a bit of a wait. Overall a decent / central place to stay.

“WARNING ⛔️ Booking . Com fraudulent”

Mar 26, 2026Robert S

Subject: Public Awareness Report: Fraudulent Practices by Booking.com and Holiday Inn Express To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to bring attention to a distressing experience I recently had with Booking.com and Holiday Inn Express, which I believe constitutes fraud and theft. My intention is to warn the public and urge regulatory authorities to investigate these practices to protect future consumers. On March 20, 2026, while driving from Ontario to Calgary, my Fiancée and I sought a hotel for the night just before arriving in Calgary. After finding availability at the Holiday Inn Express through Booking.com, we proceeded to book a room online. Booking.com immediately charged our account. However, after payment, we were told we needed to download the Booking.com app to access our reservation number. We attempted to do so, but were unable to download the app on our phone. No confirmation email or reservation details were sent to us, despite repeated checks on my fiancees phone. Since then, we have been unable to contact Booking.com by any means — there is no accessible customer service, no email, and no phone number to resolve our issue or request a refund. As of today, March 26, we have neither received a refund nor any communication from Booking.com. Our money has effectively been stolen, and we have been left without accommodation or recourse. This experience raises serious concerns about the business practices of Booking.com., the HOLIDAY INN, as both have connived to this fraud, They both collect payments without providing confirmation or customer support, effectively defrauding customers. Furthermore, Holiday Inn Express bears responsibility for associating with a third-party company that conducts business in this manner. By partnering with Booking.com, they are complicit in enabling such predatory and fraudulent behavior. I urge all travelers to avoid using Booking.com for hotel reservations, and I call on the authorities to investigate these fraudulent practices. Such actions disproportionately harm vulnerable people — including the elderly and those with disabilities — who may have limited options or resources while traveling. Companies must not be allowed to exploit customers and escape accountability. I encourage anyone who has experienced similar issues to come forward and file complaints so that meaningful changes can be enforced. Together, we can ensure that businesses are held accountable for their actions, and that consumers are protected from fraud. Sincerely, Robert S]

“Clean and comfortable.”

Clean, comfortable room and breakfast with room for a crowd. About two blocks walk to Fisherman’s Wharf with plenty of restaurants, the aquarium, bus tour meeting place, ferry across bay and boat to Alcatraz. Not too far to cable car route and certainly felt safe. I thought it was a bit pricey but most places were. I got what I expected from Holiday Inn- consistently satisfactory.
