I recently stayed at the Grand Bay Hotel in San Francisco, which has just transitioned into a Marriott property—a promising change that I think will only enhance the experience moving forward. From the moment I arrived, the staff stood out. They were incredibly attentive, accommodating, and genuinely pleasant throughout my stay. Their professionalism and warmth made a real difference. Although I didn’t get a chance to dine at the restaurant in the evening, I did try the breakfast. It was decent—nothing extravagant, but fairly priced and in line with local standards. The same goes for the drinks in the evening: good value and a relaxing atmosphere. My room on the 9th floor was very comfortable. While the decor felt slightly dated, everything was spotlessly clean, and the view over the water was absolutely beautiful—definitely a highlight.
One of the unexpected joys of my stay was the nearby boardwalk. I happened to visit on a gorgeous day, and it was perfect for a long, peaceful stroll. It added a lovely touch to the overall experience. All in all, I would happily stay here again. With the Marriott transition underway and such a strong team already in place, I’m confident this hotel is only going to get better.
