Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG
Hilton San Francisco Financial District
Many of the base rate room are on the same wall as the elevators and you can hear everytime the elevator goes by as if it is a subway going directly through your room. Walls are extrememly thin so even if you are not next to the elevator, hope you bring headphones and can sleep through a lot.
