"We stayed the weekend of 9/27/26 and we loved our stay. It is very convenient, walking distance to Levi's stadium. We had the buffet breakfast and enjoyed it. The room was very clean and spacious. I liked the fact that there was plenty of light and areas to set your belongings down. Felt safe. Everyone we encountered from front desk to security was very friendly. Highly recommend. We will definitely stay again!"

Grand Bay Hotel San Francisco

8/10 Good
"Overall nice hotel, nice rooms, good food. I booked rooms with breakfast for 1 (per room). Same rates same booking. The front desk seemed confused about it but after printing my booking off said it was ok. In the morning 2 breakfasts were covered and two only had $15 vouchers. Hotel staff were very unhelpful trying to sort it and said “it’s a third party booking you have to deal with them” and seemed satisfied with that. It’s been a week now and lots of back and forth with Expedia. Still unresolved. Will be considered a great stay overall if this breakfast is covered as it was advertised, booked and paid to be all included. But still the hassle is no fun."
