Our stay was wonderful. We could enjoy the view of the Bay bridge from our window. Just be aware that they do not have parking and it’s best to make arrange arrangements in advance.

Great location. Surprisingly quiet for an SF hotel. Staff super friendly and helpful. Room had a nice shower and a reading nook. Just beware the super mushy spring coil mattress and enormous, firm pillows. I slept ok, but your mileage may vary. Would stay here again if I was in the city for anything going on near the south end of the Embarcadero.

I loved the hotel, the design, the location, the restaurant, and the people who work there; they were very attentive. Perhaps the only thing to improve is the bed; the bed was sagging. Besides that, everything was excellent!
Thank you a lot :D

Location! Location! One block from the water, easy to walk to the ferry building and up and down the waterfront. I stay here quite a bit. The rooms are always immaculate. The beds are comfortable. The water pressure in the shower is good. But most of all the staff is always very pleasant to deal with.

Our room was very clean and comfortable! Staff were super nice and helpful too, and the location was fabulous. I wish we'd had more time to make full use of amenities like the gym. The only things I'd like to see to make this a perfect spot are a microwave in the room (but yay for the fridge!) and a wider range of complimentary breakfast options. Thanks Hotel Griffon!
