Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG
Good location in Nob Hill. Our room was on the 20th floor and the views were breath taking. Loved that they had a bell man to help with luggage. He was waiting for us with the door open and did a room tour! Not expecting that at a Holiday Inn.

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco
The staff was great, and I liked my room. They still use Chromecast devices instead of having SmartTVs, and mine only worked once in four nights. Other than that, it was a great stay.
