"We just completed our stay at the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway. Our room was very comfortable and clean with a beautiful view of the San Francisco skyline. The hotel is right at the start of the cable car route on California Avenue which made it a fun way to get around the city."
"What a charming hotel! All the staff were welcoming, kind, and very accommodating. As a VIP member I received a chilled bottle of white wine and some delicious popcorn! The room was spacious enough to hold 5 luggage bags!! I was traveling for between two work conferences. I traveled with my sister and we had two queen beds. The queen beds were so comfortable, it made some mornings difficult to get out of bed and head to our work conference! I never made it to breakfast but did have a cup of coffee one morning and it was good. The restaurant downstairs looked charming. The hotel is about a 5 min uber drive to the convention center. Traffic is bad in the mid-afternoon. Otherwise uber everywhere. The Hotel is located around a safe area however 2-3 blocks wandering you could end up in uncomfortable territory. The front desk staff is amazing at helping out with directions, recommendations, and are even kind enough to bring your door dash/UberEATS to your room. The cleaning staff are prompt and meticulous. Overall, this charming hotel was a great stay. I would Definity recommend this hotel to anyone (family, couples, or singles). I will definitely be staying here my next visit! "
"With the exception of the shuttle ending at 11pm and missing it due to a flight delay it was fine. Other local hotels have shuttles operating after this, Bay Landing why dont you?"
"Tv didn't work
Wifi required me to drop my PCs firewall
Curtain rod fell off
Hangar hook came off
Surprising but still my favorite value hotel in NY and SF"
"The Handlery has maintained some of the original character of the hotel while updating for modern convenience. The staff are polite, helpful, and very accommodating. The rooms are comfortable and quiet, and the convenience and proximity to downtown and restaurants makes it very walkable inconvenient. Half a block to the trolley on Powell Street. Half a block to Union Square station.
We would definitely stay here again for both business and pleasure."
