Holiday Inn San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf050

The Holiday Inn Fisherman's Wharf Hotel is a terrific choice for families looking for reasonably-priced accommodations within walking distance of many popular San Francisco attractions. The 585-room hotel offers comfortable, clean, and spacious rooms within an atmosphere that is warm and welcoming for families.

Located just off of Fisherman's Wharf, guests can easily stroll over to Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square , and the Ferry Piers (heading to Alcatraz and circling the Bay) along the Embarcadero. As well, cable cars and trolleys provide convenient rides to downtown Union Square, the Financial District, Moscone Center, Chinatown, the Castro, and AT&T Ballpark. Public transportation is so accessible that families may choose to forgo the rental car (and the daily overnight parking fee of $37).

The hotel easily accomodates families of all sizes. Rooms are available with double beds (some with sofa beds), and for couples with teenage children, ajoining rooms are also an option.

One of the hotel's best family features is its heated swimming pool with a sundeck - plenty of room for the kids to splash and play, or for tired parents to kick back and relax after a day of touring. Another plus for families on a budget, or for those with picky eaters: the 24-hour Denny's located in the hotel. While probably a bit more pricey than Denny's in Nebraska, it's still bargain fare for San Francisco. And at the Bristol Bar and Grill, kids (12 and under) eat free when with an adult. Just half a block away is a Walgreens Store stocked with any forgotten or necessary items from first-aid supplies to sunscreen to baby wipes or snacks.

Other hotel amenities include a babysitting referral service, on-site laundry facilities, free wireless internet access in all guestrooms and lobby, a small fitness center, in-room safes, and complimentary cribs for babies under a year of age. Refrigerators are available for a rental of $10/day.
