Based on recent posts (May 2023) the Grand Club is open with a nice-looking evening spread and is accessible via room key at other times.
AirTrain is generally recommended, but if you really want to walk from the terminals to the hotel, it's entirely possible (pictorial instructions in post 344)

1. GH Union Square being sold out.
2. GH Union Square having exceptionally high rates on any particular night.
3. GH SFO having exceptionally low rates on any particular night.
4. Combination of the above. E.g., New Year's Eve.
5. Early morning flight.
6. Late night arrival.

7. Would rather be poked in the eye with a sharp stick than give a nickel to GH San Francisco.

Oh, and there's also the destination fee. First properties in SF to impose one I believe.

The property itself is decent (though the lounge is too small). It's management's attitude toward program benefits I have a problem with. Same at HR. Though very much YMMV, as some regulars report better treatment.

Cat 5 / 20k per Night
Looks like the property is classed as a cat 5. Not surprised but would have been nice to see it as a cat 4 to use 1-4 certs at.

They appear to think quite highly of themselves. Checking mid-week far out (Jan and February 2020) rates are around $500 and up. Would people -or businesses- really pay this for an airport hotel?

I've seen Springhill Suites Belmont over $700/night.
But I wouldn't expect to see those rates for non-conference dates. If that's all you're seeing, they probably haven't loaded the real ones yet.

Yes. January is a big month for conferences in SF, including JPM Healthcare. And the airport hotels serve both the city and the Peninsula.

I doubt it will; those prices should get adjusted lower once they determine the rate the market will bear.
One can debate on comparable properties, but I can find the nearby Westin on some weekends under $110. The HR goes for less than $100 on some weekends.
