Hotel Griffon

While driving up for a spur of the moment trip, I happened to see a special for this place. It was an amazing stay for the value. The room was small but super cute. Great robes in the room. The staff was incredibly helpful and nice. fyi, parking is not included and if you allow them to valet it, it is an extra cost of 40 bucks

We chose this hotel for 2 reasons: its location just off the Embarcadero and the $1.00 valet parking on the weekend. However, the Griffon Hotel was even better than I had anticipated: quaint, comfortable, charming and clean. My sister and I had requested early check-in and for our luggage to be held after check-out time; both requests were cheerfully accommodated. The view from our window wasn't bad, but if I were staying here again, I would request a room with a view of the bay (although that would probably cost more). The only reason I gave 4 stars for room comfort was that it was quite small - but ok if you're not spending much time in your room. Amenities had 4 stars due to only fruit and coffee for breakfast. Everything else was outstanding - we loved it, would definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to friends. Oh - another plus is it's close to all forms of transportation and even offers a ride to the Financial District on weekdays!

Nice hotel, rooms a bit small but a good location.

For the money, I thought the room was too small and the ac didn't work very well, thankfully it is SF so it doesn't get that hot. Our view was literally a building wall with privacy glass on the window so it isn't as obvious. Thought the staff was less than helpful when asking for anything. Overall for the money, I would rather pay extra or be a little further from the water and have a nicer hotel room.

Very nice, clean, and spacious! Staff was very, very helpful

Great stay- comfortable room, loved the architecture of the hotel and the exposed brickwork. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful- especially our valet. Free parking for hybrids!

location location location....nice clean rooms, friendly staff.

After a long day of travel the quiet and unobtrusive front desk process was a welcome change from the usual hubbub. The room was cozy and well appointed, the dining was casual and delectable, the front desk knowledgeable and helpful, the location safe and picturesque, and the overall experience comfortable.

Rude and most unhelpful staff I have ever encountered. Don't expect them to know ANYTHING. So that was disappointing. Though the room was very small, it nice and clean. The view from the hallway window was the Bay Bridge - pretty, of course. I would not stay here again.

The hotel is in a great location, as we'd intended to explore the Embarcadero, and this was a block away. Excellent restaurants abound nearby, and most other tourist locations were easily walkable within 20 minutes or quickly via public transportation. From the moment we drove up to the front entrance of the hotel, excellent service from hotel staff took over; we were quickly processed and helped to our room on the third floor, and our vehicle valet-parked. The room we booked was the smallest we've experienced in the city, but it was tastefully decorated, and amenities new and complete. As our window faced into the center of buildings, outside noise was non-existent, so we had a good night's sleep. Our 2.5 year old had fun playing on our queen bed, and went to sleep early in the portable crib that we brought. Very nice place and staff; was it worth the $199 we paid? We haven't decided yet... but very possibly considering the great location.
