Pros

Tennis courts and golf course access for active guests

Three distinct dining venues with lagoon and mountain views

Dedicated multilingual staff for business meetings

Premium in-room sound systems and dual TVs in select accommodations

Cons

40-minute drive to San Francisco city center

Seasonal outdoor pool availability

“Grand Bay Hotel San Francisco, though holding a AAA Four Diamond award, seems to be missing the mark; while the waterfront views and eco-friendly intentions appeal, reports of malfunctioning room keys and thin walls raise concerns. The extra fees tacked on further detract from its value, leaving me hesitant to recommend it wholeheartedly.”
