Grand Hotel
Wonderful impression from first to last. Early check was convenient- while we waited we had lunch at the nearby John's Grill @ 63 Ellis Street (must try their signature drink in a souvenir glass & lobster ravioli to die for). We stayed in room 719 - Superior Room with king bed. Room was clean, bed comfortable. Bath amenities were lovely, including bathrobe. Hair dryer not great but handy. Complimentary hot coffee & tea available in lobby on Sunday morning. Can't speak to the exercise room and pool as we did not visit either. Customer service is excellent from the door man to the front desk to the concierge. The concierge helped my husband arrange a suprise car hire and assisted in mapping our day trip to Monterry along the Pacific coast to Pebble Beach and 17 Mile Road. Taxi from airport to hotel $46+ tip. Limo from hotel to airport $49+tip. Hotel is located in the Financial District. Hotel to Fisherman's Wharf is approximately 20 minutes via streetcar which is conveniently located just steps from hotel. Walk to shops and restaurants nearby. Although the hotel is located downtown, from our room we could not hear any street noises at night which afforded a great nights sleep after an exhausting day of walking and touring. Historically beautiful hotel. Enjoy your stay!
