We stayed at Hotel Griffon May 31 to June 2. I chose the hotel largely based on it's proximity to the Ferry Building. We stayed in Room 410 and loved it. The only odd thing is having the sink in the bedroom area rather than the bathroom but this is actually a benefit if you want to blow dry your... More

Had a great trip and although I did not stay long, this was the perfect place. I didn't really need anything at all for my stay, but felt like if I did, the staff would have been right on top of it. They were so friendly and efficient, always smiling and acknowledging your presence when you passed the desk. The... More

I came to San Francisco for work and found this lovely little hotel. The room was surprisingly spacious, well appointed, quiet and comfortable. The lobby is beautiful and the service at both the front desk and at the bar were top notch. I'll definitely stay here again.

I LOVED this hotel! Great location: Just a 2 min walk to the Ferry Building and a few blocks away from Google's SF office. Friendly staff, eco-conscious toiletries, nice rooms. I'll definitely stay there again :)

Was in SF for the weekend and thought this was a great place. Location was beautiful and was walking distance to AT&T Park, Fisherman's Wharf and Union Square. Room was smartly decorated and clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. All in all a wonderful place to stay.

This small 'boutique' (is that descriptive term dated now?) hotel fitted our needs very well for a short stay in SFO. As noted in other reviews, the rooms (and the elevator) are on the small side, but that's not an issue ... we're not large people. The room was tastefully furnished and made a pleasant change from the usual cookie-cutter... More

As noted by other reviews, the rooms are quite small. However they were nicely decorated. We were given a room that didn't not have a view out (faced another building) but since we booked on a discount site, we weren't expecting the best room in the house. The staff was friendly and helpful. The attached restaurant (Perry's) was quite good.... More
