    Great location; poor sleep; unresponsive management--stay elsewhere.
    • What did you like most?
      The hotel's proximity to the Embarcadero and the view from the room were outstanding. The room was clean & felt very private. Coffee/tea/pastries in the morning were appreciated. The day manager was polite and friendly, but could not adequately address my concerns about the 2nd bed in the Suite....which is why my review is both positive and mostly negative.
    • Was there anything you didn't like?
      I explicitly booked a more expensive King Suite to have a 2nd, separate bed. Unfortunately, the sofa bed in the suite was completely useless. It did not lie flat (the head area was approx 45 degrees higher than the rest of the mattress); and, worse, the springs noticeably protruded from the mattress, rubbing and scratching throughout the night. When I could not sleep through the discomfort, I got up in the middle of the night to contact the front desk to request a room change. They were, unfortunately, sold out and could not switch us. The next day, when I discussed the issue with the Day Manager, she stated that she would have to check with the GM before being able to offer any compensation--since they could not provide another room. I requested that the hotel provide a discount, i.e. to be charged the rate equal to a King Room (without a sofa bed) since we could not use the 2nd bed (the hotel does not have any rooms with two double mattresses). Apparently, the GM refused. I only received an apologetic phone message from the Day Mgr who said they could provide a small gift card ($50) to the adjacent restaurant. This was a fairly disingenuous gesture since it was offered to us on the evening of our departure--and we could not really utilize at the end of our long day. What is so irksome is that this was my second visit. I am a repeat customer and would have likely returned in the future, if the management had made a sincere effort to make me feel welcome and understood. If the hotel provided a reasonable refund or credit for another stay, I would consider the Griffon an elegant, friendly place to stay. Unfortunately, their lack of sincere effort to help their guests be comfortable, makes the Griffon a cheap and unfriendly place. There are 100's of hotels nearby. Next time, I will stay elsewhere.
