The rooms are very well furnished and the location is close to lots of places to eat and public transportation. The lobby is lively and seems like a happy place to be. It is very expensive though... try to get a good deal.

Spent weekend to see the chinese new year parade. Liked the large room, modern deco and good facilities. Service was good as well, though not superb, we reported that the coffee maker was not working, took several phone calls, and couple of visits to get a replacement. The location next to Moscone Center is perfect for business travelers, and its... More

Awesome room, nice interior, but washroom was typical american. Little bit outdated and was more like three star, everything else was top class. They gave us an upgrade, we had an awesome view. Few mins walk away from market street.

Stayed here on a biz trip. The hotel is in a great location if you are doing business at the Moscony Center. Otherwise, it's nothing special. Likes - Attractive, major corporate hotel, with easy access, nice lobby, friendly staff, a nice restaurant (a Michelin star no less), recently renovated rooms with great bathrooms, huge towels, comfy beds, in-room coffee, etc....

I was on a Business trip in San Francisco and the comfort of the InterContinental made the experience splendid. Proximity to Market St, BART and Cal Train make this an ideal place for a traveler. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Try to get that high floor for the spectacular view of the bay.

The hotel great, very modern with a nice looking bar in the lobby which was always busy. Very close to Union Square for lots of shopping. The rooms were nice, beds comfortable. We had a problem with our room safe but had security up within a few minutes to help get it going. The only thing to complain about would... More

We stayed here at the end of a business trip to the area, paying for the first night and using award points for the 2nd night, which was a very easy process. A very nice hotel, with the clientele being a mixture of business people with some vacationers. We had a no problem stay and the views from the higher... More

This hotel is overpriced for what you get and they charge you more for everything. The rooms were nice and bed comfortable, but not worth the cost. Many other hotels are nicer any less expensive. Extra charges: Park car $50/day, Wifi $16 a day Additionally they have exspensive mini bars that are on a sensor + Fiji Water Bottle on... More

We ran into quite a few problems at the Intercontinental. We called before arrival to confirm that early check-in would be possible, only to arrive and wait two hours for a room. Check-in experience was strange, in that others were greeted with maps and hotel orientations when we merely were given keys and sent on our way. Our room was... More

Loved staying at Intercontinental. The rooms are immaculately clean, and the bed was one of the most comfy beds I've ever slept in! Modern rooms with a big, flatscreen TV mounted on the wall in front of the bed and a beautiful bathroom. Great location as well. Only annoying this is that they don't offer wi-fi and charge a lot...
