Hotel Griffon

Reasonable amenities and services. Pleasant staff. Free morning coffee and pastries.

My favorite place to stay in San Francisco. Always great.

The good: this hotel is very conveniently located and has character. The bad: don't go to it if you intend to sleep. I don't know how they manage to make it conduct sound so well, but my goodness they do. The sounds of laughter, clinking, and dropped plates echoes up the stairwell to a surprising height. The doors block out almost no sound from the hallway. I heard heavy footsteps from above, restaurant sounds from below, and hallway sounds until a late hour. And starting at 5AM you start hearing everyone's alarms. The one thing that seems to be good at blocking noise is the window in the room. It effectively blocked out street noise. But, the hotel staff kept opening the windows in the hallways, which let in street noise. Combined with the ineffective sound barrier in the doors, street noise was annoying JUST BECAUSE OF THE HALLWAY WINDOWS! My usual trick of dealing with noisy hotels - just set the room fan to constant on - didn't work in Hotel Griffon because it had no way to do so. I travel a lot, and stay in everything from roadside motels to high-end convention and business hotels. This is the worst sleep I've had in years.

Everything was wonderful. The location is fantastic, you can walk to almost everything. The room was very clean and quiet, that isn't easy in the city. Brandon and Regina at the front desk were so friendly and helpful. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Good place. Lack of parking was inconvenient

We had a wonderful stay at this unique gem of a hotel! Brandon and Autumn were extremely helpful and efficient upon checkin! Had a great time and highly recommend Hotel Griffon! If you find yourself in San Francisco and want to stay on the embarcadero this the place for you!

Staff was super friendly and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location for business travel. My only issue was the bed which was extremely uncomfortable. I woke up feeling tired and with pain every morning. 3 stars

Nicely refurbished older hotel in a fantastic location. We picked a small room, but it was fine. Clean, with a beautiful old brick wall. Great staff - both at the hotel and at Perry’s, their restaurant.

Overall great stay
