My stay at Holiday Inn Express San Francisco-Airport North by IHG was overall average.
The hotel is convenient for travelers due to its proximity to the airport, which is definitely a plus. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff was polite and professional.
However, the property feels a bit dated compared to other hotels in the same category. The room was clean, but some areas could use updating. The bed was comfortable enough for a short stay, but nothing exceptional.
Breakfast was decent, with the standard options you would expect from a Holiday Inn Express, though the variety could be improved during busy hours.
Overall, it’s a practical choice for a short stay near the airport, but there is room for improvement in terms of modernization and overall experience.
