Not too Grand
Hotel is located in a serene neighborhood with a pond and is spacious. However its noticeable vacancy was concerning and the hotel felt eary and ghostly (noticed not more than 2-6 guests in the hotel and restaurant combined during our 3 night stay). Hotel needs to upgrade their carpet flooring which has had its share of spills and stain marks on it. Room was clean, however upon arrival we found a pair of sucks laying on the floor inside the room and in front of its small refrigerator which presumably belonged to previous room guest. Central air conditioning makes constant clunking and jerking noise every time it starts or stops which prevents a quiet sleep also. Front desk staff was friendly and accommodated us for parking.

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.

A great hotel
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. Staff are all friendly and accomodating. Thank you.

6/10 Good

While the room was clean, the mattress was old and very uncomfortable, there was no control on the AC/Heat Fan which blew high speed day and night. At least in the room I stayed in, the bathroom was okay, but no towel bars near the tub/shower, the tub bottom was higher than the floor making getting out of the shower a bit difficult. Overall, the hotels if okay, the staff are friendly, however, just be aware you are charged a $20 Amenity fee/Resort Fee on top of your room and food charges and also $30 a night parking fee. While the room per night charge is enticing, once you add all the additional fees, the rate defiinitely goes up.
