My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Griffon in 2009 - had a wonderful experience there -wonderful staff, comfortable and tasteful decor - and extraordinary location - just crossthe street - you will see the Bay Bridge and find yourself on the Embarcadero - fantasticwalking area right on the Bay - We loved it so much that we booked it again for thisyear and will each year for our annual San Fran vacation - as we have 2 kids that liveout there - we are so happy that we have discovered this hotel - everything was wonderful - can't think of one thing to change.
