Had a great stay at Hotel Griffon! Bay facing room that was surprisingly quiet despite being above the Embarcadero. Staff was great and overall vibe was cozy, private, quiet, and welcoming. Area was great, too!

Very beautiful and great location (just a strange porta potty smell when you first enter into the lobby area-think from lack of ventilation).
