5. On our second stay we paid extra for a room with a view over the Bay (12th floor), which was wonderful, although we hadn't allowed for the loud noise from the air conditioning units on the low roof opposite us which made sleep almost impossible.

10. The location of this hotel is great for cruises and bayfront activities, but if you plan to spend most of your time in the lively Gas Lamp entertainment district or in the wonderful mecca of shops, restaurants and cultural attractions in Old Town, then the Holiday Inn on the Bay is not the location you are looking for, as it is not within comfortable walking distance for most people.
