Reviews and Ratings
Hotel Griffon is a lovely boutique hotel in a prime San Francisco location. Our stay was enjoyable overall, thanks to the clean and comfortable accommodations. We appreciated the easy access to local attractions and the fantastic restaurant nearby. However, the lack of some storage space in the rooms was a small inconvenience. Despite this, the value for money and the unique atmosphere made our visit memorable.
I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Griffon, located right by the Embarcadero, which made it easy to explore the area. The staff was incredibly attentive and went out of their way to ensure my comfort during my visit. The room, while not massive, was well-designed, and the beds were particularly cozy. However, parking can be a bit tricky, and there were some updates needed in the room's decor. Despite that, I appreciated the value for money I received during my stay.
I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Griffon! The location is outstanding, right near the Embarcadero, and the service was exceptional, with staff who truly care. The bed was the best I've ever slept on, ensuring I woke up refreshed. However, the dining options could use some extended hours, and while my room was comfortable, it lacked a view, which was a bit disappointing.
I had a great time at Hotel Griffon! The historic charm of this boutique hotel offered a unique experience that we loved. The staff were incredibly attentive, making our stay enjoyable. However, I was disappointed when my husband left his iPad in our room, and it was not turned in by housekeeping, leading to a frustrating experience with follow-up. Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives, and I would happily return to this charming spot in San Francisco.
My stay at Hotel Griffon was a mixed bag. On one hand, the location right along the waterfront is fantastic and perfect for exploring, while the service was truly exceptional and made me feel valued. On the downside, the room I stayed in was a bit on the small side and not very bright, which affected the overall ambiance. Additionally, while I enjoyed the dining options, I think they could add more variety to the menu. Overall, I found decent value for the price paid.
