    The staff is incredibly friendly, especially the helpful blonde woman at the front desk. The cleaning staff is always willing to go the extra mile to assist with any requests. I also love the amenities, like the in-room safe and the thick, luxurious towels. The hair and body wash they provide is a nice touch. The complimentary access to the YMCA is a fantastic perk of the resort fee.

    No refrigerator. I also wish they would provide better sugar like a honey or raw sugar. Also two times I've stayed her my room was in front of the ice machine, it wakes me up.

    Property response:

    Warm greetings to you dear Gmoney111 from our beautiful little Hotel Griffon by the Bay!!! What a pleasure it was to have you as our guest! I am delighted to see that you had such a wonderful time with us and how grateful you are for the exceptional and old fashioned hospitality you received from all of our beloved team – your recognition of their hard work is truly motivating and inspiring.

    Staff tried to rectify the issues and worked hard to address them

    The blackout curtains are inadequate to address the external lights near the windows. Light shines in during the middle of the night when it is dark outside at the top nd sides. The light coming in the room is very bright despite putting blankets on top of the curtains. The staff switched rooms, and the issue still existed. I hate to leave negative reviews, but as a business traveler, it is imperative to have honest feedback.

    Property response:

    Dearest Theresa, Thank you ever so much for staying with us and for sharing your experience with fellow travelers and we are grateful that you have shared the significant issues you experieced with our outdoor lighting seeping in to you room through the blackout curtains which prevented you from having a restful night's sleep while you stayed with us. I have shared this issue with our maintenace team so they can investigatge the position of the lighting and ensure it is not bothersome to future guests. We humbly ask that you consider returning to us, to give us another chance, we would be so very pleased and honored and truly welcome the opportunity to make it right and provide you with the exceptional experience that you so deserve. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Booking.com so they in turn can contact us on your behalf; we will do everything we can to regain your trust and confidence in our hotel.

    Great location and the staff was very nice.

    For the high price I paid, I got a room with a small window out to a light shaft and nowhere I could sit in the room to eat something or relax. A shame as the view out the hallway window was spectacular. It was hard to relax in the room because it was so ill appointed and sad. I couldn't even tell what the weather was like outside from my room. The "fresh" pastries and coffee they charge you for automatically were also not great. That should be optional in my opinion. I didn't even finish my cup and went to a nearby coffee shop. Its fine if you will be spending no time at all in the hotel itself, but Im sure you could find a better option for less within a 15min walking radius.

    Property response:

    Dearest Cat, Thank you for your recent stay at our beautiful little Hotel Griffon by the Bay and for sharing your impressions. We strive so very hard to provide all of our treasured guests with an exceptional experience which can only be ensured if our guests share any displeasure they have while they are with us so we may have the opportunity to make any necessary changes and decisions to satisfy our discerning travelers' tastes and expectations.

With regards to our rooms please know we have more spacious King rooms, City View King Room and Bay View Kings which are more spacious and have views and we have our Suites which are more spacious still have either lovely view or outdoor terraces. With regards to the Amenity Fee you reserved through Booking.com or one of their affiliate which list he Amenity in the price break down when you book and it can also be found on the site itself and it can also be found under "policies", "fine print", when clicking on the nightly breakdown, and also in your confirmation letter. Our wonderful team also discloses this information upon check in, in case the guest misses it during the confirmation process. We also think it is a great value as it covers the freshly baked croissants, scones and pastries made from a local bakery, coffee and tea service , use of a full service and fitness facility, luggage storage during your stay, in room safe, unlimited local phone calls, unlimited access to our purified water station, however, we appreciate your feedback and we'll be happy to share your thoughts with our operations team as we strive to keep improving and providing great experiences to our guests.
