Grand Hyatt at SFO

Grand Hyatt at SFO

10/10 Excellent
"Finally caught a reservation that was under $500 a night and the place did not disappoint. I will be back when the algorithm offers it again. Best of the best for SFO hotel choices. One caveat- I observed some IDF soldiers checking in and that was very upsetting. What business do they have here and who is funding such an expensive itinerary? If this is something that might trigger you as well, you are warned."

"Clean room. Good facilities. Location is fine for local transport. Only one close restaurant which is ok. Breakfast very good Didn’t use the pool as jucuzzi not working. The outlook was disappointing as the image of the room shows boats in the marina. This marina is now empty and a bit of an eyesore. Our room wasn’t cleaned one day and we don’t know why"
