It's all about the location. Hotel Griffon has a lot to offer within its vecinities, either you want to walk or drive around the area, most of the points of interest of San Francisco are close to the hotel. Something positive about the hotel is that it is connected with a great restaurant so in case that you want to chill before bedtime, eating within the facilities comes handy. Also, departing / arriving to the area is quite easy since a lot of routes are connected to it. The only element that I would point out is that some rooms are a bit small, yet liveable.

The staff was very well-intentioned and pleasant. I stayed here for work and the location relative to the office was great. Unfortunately, the noise from surrounding rooms (sounds in the pipes, ice machine, etc) were distracting from a good night's sleep. The property also seems like it needs some maintenance. For example, they have one lift that seems older and slow, and had many burned out buttons. Additionally, the toiletry pumps in the shower did not work.

Great location and historic building

Charming and quaint for the area; close to Embarcadero

No breakfast. Liked access to YMCA.

Property is located by the water. Great views with walking ability on the waterfront. Can walk to piers. Great view of bridge.

it was clean

The property was historic with a nice vibe. The room was a little hot and stuffy but nice. The parking access is ridiculous and is not very cost friendly.

Was ok. But I did not get the room i had paid for

Nice hotel, friendly staff. I wish there were more breakfast options walking distance. The adjacent Perry's is excellent but doesn't open until noon. I don't know if these are COVID hours or the normal plan.

It was pleasant n great view of the bay bridge nice

Hotel Griffon was a pleasant surprise! The location was perfect for all you SF sight activities - most importantly my sweetheart was in Love with view of the Bay Bridge At 5:00 when the sum is coming up, I have never seen a painting that captures the beautiful of a moment like that - the view out of room #506 was simply spectacular!

It is a lovely, waterfront/pier access able property. We had a good stay.

Rude front desk people! Believe Carlos and Editha Saun the manager was nice at least! Lol

Great location, friendly staff, cute hotel. The elevator is small and a bit annoying to cram into with bags. The rooms are tiny which is expected but well laid out. I would recommend this hotel.

My room was barely larger than the queen bed. TV didn't work. Desk was too tiny to be functional (was a work trip). Had a nice view of a brick wall. Expensive. I will not stay here again.
