Good, but with some reservations
The Hotel Griffon, in the Embarcadero area of San Francisco, is conveniently located for a variety of needs and interests. Most importantly for us, it was not too far from the South Beach section where our daughter lives. The hotel is fine if you do not mind exceptionally small rooms. This was the feature that I did not much care for, though my wife was not bothered by it. The hotel is an old one and so small rooms are to be expected. But I really could have used a bit more "elbow room." The restaurant Perry’s is right there in the hotel. In the rear of the restaurant one could have a perfectly acceptable complimentary breakfast in the mornings. An excellent Mexican restaurant is right next door, and several other restaurants are within easy walking distance from the front door of the hotel. For a modest fee, we got a very comfortable limousine from the hotel to the SF airport, much better than taking the Super Shuttle or a taxi. We enjoyed our stay and the service was very good indeed.

A little small for the money
The rooms are served by one tiny elevator that takes a while to arrive. In one side, out the other when going to main floor. The cost is high relative to the size. I much prefer the Fairmont. We stayed at the Griffon to be near AT&T Park to watch the series against the Dodgers. Will try another place next year.
