Review of The Grant Hotel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 16 Jan 2019via mobile
At first I was skeptical, as looks a bit shabby from the outside, and lobby very plain. However, I found this hotel very adequate. Clean room and bathroom. Good shower. Bed was very comfortable. Ceiling fan was nice. Price and location were excellent. Security seemed good, and I never felt any problem. I would stay here again.

Location was really good (very close to Union Sq and cable car passed close by), room and bathroom were comfortable (but fairly basic), staff were helpful, room was clean. Parking almost opposite. Wifi good. Great diners and restaurants nearby including Lori's.

Hotel prices is SanFo is staggering and Grant is no exemption. However, I agree to the other review that what you pay is what you get co'z this hotel will not qualify as a hotel but an appartel or may be a backpackers haven. The elevator is always failing and the staff are not well-trained. Rooms are also outdated and seldom you can see staff smile and greet you.

Room tip: Rooms in the lower floors are better in case the elevator fails

I made a reservation for Grant Hotel on booking.com two months before my trip to San Francisco.
Just three days before my flight to San Francisco, I received an e-mail from Grant hotel telling me the cancelled my reservation !
I called the hotel many times, they rudely answered me that they are overbooked and no available places.
I filed a complaint to booking.com customer service which offered me an alternate hotel with higher cost and paid for the difference.
CONCLUSION: bad experience with non-respectful hotel and rude, non-professional employees.

Upon arriving it’s safe to say we were disappointed with the customer service and our surroundings. The whole place needs a good refurb. Having said that... we did sleep well in a clean room and enjoyed the complimentary pastries before exploring San Fran during our visit. If you plan to only use the hotel to sleep and get ready it is in a good location and has enough basic facilities to get you through.

I found this place after a fruitless Airbnb search for San Francisco. I first looked into hotels, but man, hotels in this city command a hefty price. Then my eye caught the Grant Hotel. I will not advertise for them but the price quality ratio is just bingo. For a little over 100 USD they offer great stuff. My rooms was large, the bathroom was clean and everything was there. The room had a large walk in closet with an ironing set. Bed was good. My view was, yeah could have guessed from the previous reviews, a blind wall. The guys and girls at the reception were friendly and helpful. Breakfast, croissants and tea, for free what do I need to have more. Wifi runs fine, but the hassle to reconnect and type the password every time is just too much. But, I have to say that they still have vintage telephones in the room, so nineties. All in all great place to stay.
