I stayed here with my fiancé, mother and 1 year old daughter. When we first arrived it looked very nice and check in was simple. We reserved the 1 bedroom suite and the room was really nice! However, the internet was out in our room and maintenance had to come to figure out it wasn’t going to work. They switched us rooms which was fine. My fiancé went downstairs to grab some more items from our car and the front desk staff was making him feel rushed to move his car. As if they aren’t the ones that just made us move to another room. And if you have a toddler I’m sure you know how much stuff you have to bring when you are traveling.. That was a little frustrating and I felt kind of rude. It was a nice place overall and the beds were comfy but we just unfortunately got unlucky with this experience.

I had an excellent two night stay at the Grand Bay Hotel SF. I was greeted warmly and upgraded upon an early arrival. Excellent gym and great food choices at the property. Room was adequate if not a bit outdated. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely return next time I need a hotel on the peninsula.

$30 parking per day. I never had to pay for parking there before and my stay was 30 days. TERRIBLE!!!! Elaine. the counter clerk is VERY RUDE not only to me and my wife, but 3 other couples I recommended staying there for my 80th birthday. All other staff members and cleaning staff were courteous and excellent. Because of Elaine, neither I nor my friends will ever stay again at the Grand Bay Hotel. She is a detriment to the hotel. I heard other guests complain about her.

It was a good stay. They kept having issues with their computer systems. Ironically, they are located in the heart of Silicon Valley. This property was quite understaffed as well. Parking needs to be more resonable and they need to provide EV chargers.

The property was clean and the staff were lovely. The rooms were fine, but needed updating. Our bathroom mirror was broken. The bathroom was fine but definitely dated. There was no fan in the bathroom which made it difficult to defog the mirror. With that being said, the beds and pillows were amazingly comfortable.
