Full-Service Hotel Close to SFO

The Grand Bay Hotel offers spacious rooms with comfortable chairs for reading or watching TV and ample desks for working. I particularly appreciated the restaurant, which offered a variety of dinner options so I didn't have to venture out. The service was good, the staff friendly. The hotel is close to SFO, convenient for catching a flight.

We were there for a family wedding- we liked that there were areas to gather to sit with family. The dining options were a bit limited by time and menu. The staff were mostly unwilling to offer separate checks to our party. The wedding itself was wonderful.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
When I checked in, I walked into a room that appeared to be occupied with shoes, a bag and towels on the ground. When I went back to the front desk, I was told "oh that's weird". I was given another room down the hall, but it was a terrible experience overall, and I was shocked there wasn't more empathy or at least an apology for such a shocking and poor experience.

Check in began well. And the pool was great. Kids had a good time. However it went downhill from there. The cleanliness wasn’t great in the room. There were hairs on the bed. Also, the door for the connecting room wouldn’t shut and lock. Had to push with force to finally get it to go. Last the staff at the restaurant was beyond rude. Will not be staying again

The only thing I was disappointed with was having to pay $30.00 per night for parking and $20.00 more per night for a resort fee. That added $50.00 per night to the room. I'd rather be told the real price up front. Other than that, the employees were great and the room was fine.
