We have stayed at the Griffon many times over the past 30 years, even though the rooms are tiny, but this was our last. Room was not as clean as in the past, with some accumulated dust/dirt in corners, etc. Some kind of insect bit me in bed the first night; when I grabbed it was full of blood, apparently mine. I am sure the housekeeping staff does its best, but it is an old property that has deteriorated over the years. Helpfulness of staff varied significantly depending upon who was on duty, one person was unable/unwilling to help, even to the point of providing incorrect information, the next was very helpful. No parking other than suggested offsite and expensive, and area is not safe for street parking. Checking out we had a large restaurant charge on our bill but the only thing we charged was a cup of coffee. When confronted, clerk said it was a service charge for staying at the hotel. Just not the good feeling we have had here in the past. We'll be looking for our next favorite place to stay in SF before we visit again.

Nice hotel with limitations.

The hotel is very nice and quaint. It is clean and well maintained. However, the mattress was like a marshmallow and it was impossible to control the temperature in the room. The lack of delivery to the room from the hotel's own restaurant downstairs was not possible and was very disappointing. Also, there was no microwave in the room, the Executive Suite, which was also both surprising and disappointing.

I really liked my stay at Hotel Griffon. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The location is perfect—right downtown, so you can walk to lots of places and public transit is close by. Everything you need is nearby, which made getting around easy. Definitely a solid choice if you want to be in the center of it all.

We had a standard queen…the bed was super comfy, everything was quiet and clean, staff was very friendly and helpful…. but the room was incredibly small…so small it was hard to find enough space to put our luggage and stuff. To turn on the bathroom light you had to enter…squeeze between the shower and toilet, close the bathroom door to get to the light switch. And there were no bedside outlets for phone chargers. No desk/table/chair. All limitations of the neat old building, but not set up for any easy stay. But I would definitely stay here again, just anticipate a longer phone charger, smaller luggage.

Front desk clerk didn’t seem like he wanted to be there. Didn’t tell us much, like parking or the fact we could use the YMCA.m next door, or the check out time. We left early anyhow. Breakfast offering was incredibly weak - pastry and bad coffee creamers. Pillows left me with a horrible creak in my neck, very little sleep. We stayed at Harbor Court last time and will go back to it.
