Very Impressed
My husband and I traveled to San Francisco on business and decided to give The Clift a try after lots of debate. We were extremely please with the customer service upon arrival. They accommodated us immediately with early check in. Our room had an beautiful view of the city and a peak of the bay. It was clean upon inspection and smelled sanitary. It was quiet and comfortable. We stayed 5 days and had an amazing time. We had an issue with our bathroom on the last night and they offered us a different room on the same floor. We will be returning in the next few months and plan to book the same room as before. I would recommend this property to anyone. It was one of the few with no active protest going on. Oh and concierge was the best.

The property was excellent. Experience does a poor job clearly explaining that the price I paid was not the total. I got hit with $30 /night in destination fees even to I searched and made my decision using the “total price” sort.

Gem of a hotel
Impressed. Recommend the avocado toast for breakfast. Near to everything downtown but still quiet. (For those who haven’t been to San Francisco, you may be put off by the zombie like homelessness but you would never know it inside this gem of a hotel).

Excellent stay!
Hotel was great and the rooms were clean. I would stay again. The hotel walls are notably thin. Regarding location, it’s close to union square, which is convenient if you’re a first-time visitor, but it’s on the edge of an area you don’t want to be in. We did not have any issues, but I wouldn't have wanted to be by myself in the area after dark.
