Hilton San Francisco Financial District
the website said there was a shuttle at the airport, called to find out they hadn't had one in years. Also the door to the bathroom goes off the track and gets stuck and is very heavy to move. Scary if you cant open the door and get stuck.

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG
I parked in their secure parking garage from $55 dollars. I parked up 3 levels from the ground floor. Within hours my car rental window was smashed out and my work equipment was stolen. All the receptionist could do is waive the parking charge. Which still showed up on my bill.
