Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"We had a corner king room on high floor (20th) with beautiful views of the bay. The room and bathroom are quite small, but the beautiful views make up for it. The staff was friendly and professional. The buffet breakfast is over priced. Paid parking in advance with in and out privileges. Good location. Overall nice. Recommend it."
