My husband and I had a great experience at Hotel Griffon. We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary in the Bay Area and were greeted in our room with a personalized note of congratulations, chocolates, and a complimentary bottle of wine. Great touch! The room was on the smaller side, but that is to be expected from a boutique hotel in an older building downtown. Very close to the Pier and tons of restaurants. The only down side if you are driving is the parking accommodations. There is a garage about a block away that can be costly for overnight parking. Again, that was described in the description when we booked. Great time and would return!
