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!

I went with this as it was the perfect location for my meetings, and rated "excellent"...I'm not sure where that rating came from: it's an old property, decadent with some thin layers of make up applied, and border line bed bug scary... don't, just don't.

Old drafty rooms. Room was directly above the restaurant on the warf side, which is a nice view, but someone came to riffle through the restaurants recycle bins, and was throwing glass bottles from their bins into the back of a truck for hours in the middle of the night.

This is a really nice place. It's a 1920's era hotel in excellent condition so the rooms aren't large but they're definitely adequate. All sorts of dining, shops, the ocean, and a trolley line are in walking distance. The trolley stops at all sorts of attractions. The hotel staff is very pleasant, efficient, and accommodating.

The location is perfect for Embarcadero walking and FiDi nearby - that's basically the only plus. The stink is noticeable in the lobby and bad in the room. In the elevator you feel asphyxiated. I didn't mind the tiny room because they were pretty clever arranging everything. Only one outlet in the bedroom; it's an older building. The bathroom fans are loud - especially in specific acoustic spots at the sink and shower. The staff try, but I think they know what kind of place they work. My room keys stopped working at 10am, even the new key reception gave me didn't work so maybe it's a suddenly wonky electronic lock? Next time I'll try elsewhere.
