Hotel Griffon Receives a Wonderful Review from Hill City Bride

This month the Hotel Griffon had a lovely guest, Hill City Bride author, Jennifer Prince. After her stay, she wrote an amazing review for the 'Destination Wedding' segment on her website. Below is a quote from the article and to read more, click here. 

"As far as accommodations, the rooms are so cozy – yet spacious – and I dare say that the room pictured below was the one I stayed in as my view was exactly the same looking out towards the Oakland Bay Bridge and then looking towards the San Francisco piers. So gorgeous! Truly, the views from Hotel Griffon were a highlight, and I loved looking out over all of the scenery."

Congratulations to the Hotel Griffon for receiving such a wonderful review and providing top of the line customer service.
