    Pillows were a little on the big side.

    They were happy to store our bikes for us! (Call ahead first) Made it a great weekend. Very nice staff. Comfy beds. Quiet room facing the street. Awesome location near tons of great food, bars, coffee, bike lanes and chase center.

    Pillows - the most difficult part of the stay. The pillows are far too big, and are very uncomfortable. Sleepin on them was difficult, and I ended up sleeping on the bed with no pillows. Could have been more comfortable I also asked staff if they could replace the pillows with other sized pillows, but they could not. Wifi - my laptop had a lot of difficult with the wifi - it kept being flagged as 'malicious' because I am a traveller with an overseas laptop. Breakfast - breakfast didn't look very appealing / was very basic - I skipped it each day and got breakfast elsewhere instead.

    Location was great. Rooms were nice. Staff were helpful. Having amenities + a gym was very appealing.

    The view of the Bay Bridge with lights at night. The staff were very efficient and pleasant. The Griffon was very convenient to the ferry building and fisherman’s wharf.

    The hotel was near Embarcadero and the Ferry building. It was only a short walk to Fisherman’s wharf. Lovely views of the Bay Bridge.

    A very well located and budget friendly hotel by the bay

    Style could do with some minor renovation, but it is still very nice. It would also be great to have the kitchen open for a bit longer. I feel breakfast should be included, but these are all minor things. A great option and rather budget friendly!

    The hotel was as described. Staff was very friendly and kind. Check in and out were very smooth. The location was great. It felt very safe to walk there at all times, and it was surrounded by all sorts of attractions and very importantly, the bay. The room had all essential facilities. There was a mandatory resort fee which included filtered water, tea/coffee and pastries in the morning.

    No valet parking available. We were able to find parking nearby using a parking app. Hotel could have provided a bit more information on parking, especially for in/out privileges.

    Great location along the Embarcadero, especially for taking the ferry home the next morning. Hotel was quiet and they upgraded us to a room with a view of the water and ferry building. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    Only real problem was that wifi disconnected and had to log in each time I used my connection. Rooms are a bit dated but fine for me.

    Amazing location - 1 block from waterfront, close to BART, business district, and many restaurants. Rafael was super friendly and helpful at front desk.

    This hotel is located in a perfect location. Very traveller and business friendly. The water purification system is the best I've seen for my travel around the US. Local restaurants are great as well although they are a bit pricy (but probably as expected in the CBD area). Also very friendly staff members.

    Cruising from San Francisco? Start your vacation at the Griffon!
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple

    • Stayed 2 nights

    Our room wasn't as nice as the room I booked for our friends (although both were fine). Neither room had a view: we stared at a brick wall from both rooms. The elevator is TINY! It was a struggle to get luggage up and down. Also, I hate when the sink is in a different space from the toilet--no washing between the potty and the door (although I guess one could turn-on the shower for handwashing).

    I booked two rooms--one for me and my wife, and one for an older (~80yo) couple who were cruising with us. The rooms were very small (particularly mine, as the other room was somewhat larger and nicer) but comfortable, quiet, and attractively appointed. They were approximately the same size as our cruise cabin would be! I was concerned about the hotel choice: given the location and the price, I feared it would be a dump, despite the photos/videos/reviews. The outside of the hotel isn't particularly reassuring either, but the inside is VERY NICE! The staff members were also VERY NICE and helpful. The continental breakfast was also much better than expected. The water dispenser and vending in the lobby were handy, as you otherwise face a quarter-mile or so walk for a store. The hotel is adjacent to a restaurant, which we enjoyed very much, and has views of the Bay Bridge, the Embarcadero, and many other excellent restaurants. Parking across the street was secure and easy, albeit pricey (of course!). I would definitely recommend and return, particularly for people cruising out of Pier 27. It was super convenient and a great place to start our vacation.

    The location while great, is really hard to find parking. Either difficult and/or expensive.

    Love that it was close to the ferry building, and the room was amazing, especially for the price. Also amazing and helpful staff.

    the mattress wasn’t so comfortable, but I was exhausted so didn’t care. the entire hotel floor is tilted it felt a little like being in a fun house but didn’t really affect things too much I guess. definitely noticeable though. just a quirk I suppose.

    amazing location. Saturday farmers market at the ferry building, bay bridge views, easy public transit from airport. even parking wasn’t so bad nearby on the weekend. staff are very friendly. I liked the aesthetic of the rooms. nice coffee and pastries in the morning.
