Good location, steep climb from the nearest subway station though. Nice large room we got at the back side, so we got a little less street noise I guess. Room was clean and was well cleaned daily in our 4 night stay. would recommend it for people on a budget and not looking to spend a lot of time in... More

We stayed here nine nights and we very pleased. It isn't luxurious but you can't expect that either from a two star hotel or for the price. The best part was location: 5-10 minutes to Union Square but still on a quiterer street. Also cable car stop is very close. The room and other areas were clean; there was a... More

I may have been luckier than other guests posting here, but we had an excellent experience. I preferred a better hotel, but SF was very busy and classier hotels were very high for this period. We reluctantly booked the Grant and were quite pleased. Yes, you get what you pay for, but we had a good rate and a larger... More

They make you pay for internet service in your room, only free net in lobby, place was cute but real old, someone along the way took a shot at renovation and failed, missing tiles in bathroom, mold in tub, ( see pics) . The free wifi thig is a good reason to avoid, the front desk was no help, all... More

This is just a very basic hotel in a good location in San Francisco. The free breakfast was pretty plain and boring and the front desk were not very welcoming. The walls were also paper thing (we heard a fair bit of 'noise' coming from within the hotel). The room was nice, clean and quiet. I enjoyed my stay, but... More

I know I'm just adding to the choir here, but the words that best describe the Grant are "basic", "functional," "clean" and "reasonably-priced." I paid less than $100 a night. What I got was a fourth floor room that was about 12x12 with a basic queen bed that could probably use a new mattress. Not sure I wasn't sleeping on... More

We got the good deal for this hotel, located in the middle of China town, walking distance to all the shopping centre in San Francisco downtown, definately is perfect for shopper, the room is small with bed bubs !! can't have a comfortable sleep at all.

This is a basic no frills hotel on the edge of tenderloin and union square. Hotels aren't cheap in th city centre so this is a good choice for those on a budget. We stayed 4 nights in early april. The hotel looks quite old but very clean. Our room had no view but had a newly renovated bathroom to... More

The Grant Hotel is an older hotel but it is clean and well kept. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Yes, the rooms have little to no extras but the rates reflect this. The big plus for this hotel, other than the reasonable rates, is location. Two blocks from Union Square in the heart of San Francisco, close to... More

I loved San Francisco: the entire city's essence is of history and days gone by. Hotel Grant was no exception. San Francisco lodging is difficult to find in July and it's invariably expensive. We were already on our way through CA when we realized we needed to book a room somewhere in San Francisco. Hotel Grant was the second place... More
