Corporate, clean and safe
Convenient place to stay if you want something near to the airport or if you want to rest before you hit the city. Very corporate and not very charming, but it’s fine for a one night stay

Family Get Away
Our room was clean and smelled fresh. We had a junior suite which was perfect because we had our son with us. There’s a pony wall dividing the small living area with a fold out couch, where our son slept, from the bedroom area. Both areas had TVs. It was the perfect set up. Also, they have a little marketplace dining area for snacks, breakfast sandwiches and coffee/tea. It was a perfect grab and go before leaving for the day. We were close to the train station, so it was easy to go to the city.

Overall, I am very please with my stay at Grand Bay Hotel San Francisco. A very quiet, safe, and secure place to be. I had no worries about my vehicle being vandalized ir broken into because of the area the hotel is located. Next trip to SF, I would definitely stay at this same hotel.

Spacious hotel and lobby with nice bar /pool area. Lots of functions going on in function rooms. No shopping areas in close proximity. Pool is much smaller than pictures but still was nice.

For the area, the location was nice along the waterfront. Beautiful view and walking area. Staff was wonderful. For a pricey hotel many things didn't add up. broken shower curtain, wrapped up Scott toilet paper, Dirty pillowcase and bedding cover and broken refrigerator that had a giant frozen chunk inside.
