    “PERFECT + SERENITY”

    We celebrated our 15th Wedding Anniversary in SF & I chose Hotel Griffon as our romantic getaway, being from HI. As my husband said, Hotel Griffon was perfect! We enjoyed this little boutique hotel. $25/day amenity fee includes use of YMCA next door, unlimited use of purified water (bring your hydroflask), luggage storage, local calls, coffee, tea, and pastries made readily available every morning to begin our day. The staff were super friendly from check-in to check-out. Hotel Griffon sent a bucket of ice + Champagne & a letter of appreciation for choosing them to share our 15th Anniversary with them shortly after check-in. This special touch made our stay here even more special. The view from this room is spectacular. The view of the SF Bay Bridge & Embarcadero after returning from long adventures, & waking up to this view, was just relaxing, soothing, and allowed you to reset for the next day. The room is not your average-sized hotel room, but overall very cozy & sets "the vibe" I was trying to achieve for our anniversary trip. The bed + AC was super comfortable. The overall bathroom is small but enough to do what youʻre supposed to do in there. The shower is wide enough for two. Also included in the room were shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, lotion, hair dryer, and iron & ironing board. Location of the hotel is on one end of the Embarcadero and all the must visits (Fishermanʻs Wharf, Pier 39, Alcatraz tour) when coming to SF is on the other end. A nice long walk of the Embarcadero to get to the tourisy stuff but possible. We took a bike cab back to the hotel on one of our days. This is a must do experience, it goes with the romantic vibe. Hotel Griffon is directly across of the Ferry Building if needing to take the SF Ferry (to Vallejos for a Wine Tasting in Napa Valley with Platypus Wine Tours, like we did-another must). We walked to STK located across the street for our anniversary dinner. Walking distance to many attractions. We used Uber eats for the late night meals (because our timing was off & places close around 8 PM in SF) which were pleasantly quick with delivery (under 10 mins) both times. Hotel Griffon was perfect! The price & amenity fee is definitely worth it for the coziness, peace, Serenity sums it up well. We will definitely be back & highly recommend staying with Hotel Griffon, they will make your stay here extra special.

    “Excellent location & Staff's good efforts ”

    My husband and I stayed in the standard queen room for 7 nights. I chose the Hotel Griffon as every sightseeing place is within walking distance. If you prefer to walk and don't mind 3-5 km per day, the Hotel Griffon is located in a safe area, and visit major museums and parks pleasantly on foot. You don't need to worry about bumping into homeless people or druggies. Hotel Griffon provides fresh coffee, tea, and delicious pastries every morning from 7 to 10 am. It was free of charge and good quality. The hotel staff are kind and friendly. Particularly the hotel manager, Ann does her best to listen to hotel guests and to provide the best service possible. Her communication was always prompt. Having Perry's Embarcadero restaurant on the ground floor was convenient. The quality of food and services was very good. A piece of information to share with future customers, 1. if you prefer a spacious room, room 405 might not be the right choice for you. It is quiet but small. 2. Please don't think that Agoda offers the cheapest price. I found that Hotel Griffon can offer a better price than Agoda. Please check and compare both websites. 3. Be aware of a daily amenity fee which is not mentioned clearly. Many hotels in San Francisco charge an amenity fee. I have to say that the Hotel Griffon charges cheaper amenity fees than other hotels. Overall, we enjoyed staying at Hotel Griffon.

    “Good hotel with excellent staff (and no worries about parking)”

    I stayed here for two nights (though I had to leave early on the second night for personal reasons). 1) The location is great—close to the Ferry Building and FiDi, with lots of restaurants nearby. 2) There are plenty of third-party parking lots. 3) The room was clean enough for the price; the bed and pillows were comfortable. 4) Most importantly, the staff at the front desk was incredibly friendly and helpful. Juan, in particular, was the best I've ever encountered—super nice, professional, and attentive to customer needs. He truly made my stay pleasant. I’ll definitely be back as long as Juan is at the desk!

    “Wonderful experience - twice! ”

    A wonderful location that is clean, safe, and quiet yet next to so many great sites. We have stayed in both the executive suite and bay view suite as a family with three young children, and these rooms are very spacious, comfortable, and beautifully appointed. This is now our go-to SF hotel.

    “A great night stay”

    It's a nice small boutique hotel but the bed and pillows were very comfortable. They also have free breakfast and coffee/tea in the morning. Front desk stored my luggage before checkin time of 3pm but you can pay extra to check in early. Very quiet, room was cool and I slept well. There are many restaurants nearby (one on property), my favorite is the dim sum restaurant Yank Sing across the street. Near water, the view is great from the pier!
