“Good option for south San Francisco”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

There are two Holiday Inn Expresses in Redwood City. This is the one further north and the exterios is not quite as nice as the one closer to Palo Alto. It is close to the CalTrain station into downtown SF and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast room was small, but good selection of items. Nice rooms, but I thought the price was a little high for what we got. An average Holiday Inn Express - nothing exceptional.

“Affordable, clean, comfortable lodging”

I was really impressed with the place. The rooms were really nice with lots of space, very comfortable beds, and even a DVD player. When I walked in there was a bottle of water and some snacks for me, a very nice touch. There was a also a microwave and refrigerator in the room. The staff was friendly and extremely accommodating and gave me a "later" checkout. I felt safe even though the doors opened up directly from the outside. Great value for a the quality of room and service. Overall, would highly recommend the place.

“Clean, quiet, comfortable bed; great price”

Very comfortable, nice sized room; very comfortable bed. Place seems to be pretty new. Very attentive service in breakfast bar. Easy check-in, check-out. It's a HI Express, so it's a motel, but the rate was very good for such a new, clean place.

“Not at all what I expected from a Holiday Inn”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

First of all, this is a motel, not a hotel. You enter your room from the outside and not through a lobby. The motel is not in the best part of town, the area is dark and the stores surrounding a bit questionable. I did not at all feel comfortable staying in a place where I did not have the protection felt when accessing your room from inside of the hotel. As for the room itself, it was acceptably clean, though the rug seemed quite old and in need of cleaning. The linens were the quality you would normally find in a Holiday Inn Express and the bed and pillows were fine for a few nights. It you're going for a few nights, you will be able to tolerate it, however any longer than that, find another place to stay. If you are a woman traveling by yourself, I suggest you find an alterative place all together. Keep in mind if you have trouble climbing stairs you will need to ask for a room on the first floor as there aren't any elevators. There were choices for breakfast however the choices weren't that appealing, The employees were friendly and tried to be helpful though they didn't appear to have alot of expereince.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the first floor if you are unable to climb stairs.

“Holiday Inn Express-Redwood City”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

I've stayed at this hotel several times. It is clean and has a good breakfast. The outside rooms can be a little noisy because of the way they face the busy road El Camino. Wish there were more dining options nearby.
