Back to Clift Hotel
I stayed at the Clift for three nights in late April. Though my room on the 14th floor was comfortable (though small), the walls are paper thin. I could clearly hear the person in the next room having a phone conversation, talking with their spouse and even their TV. Also, my room had a total lack of easy to access electrical outlets. Overall, I found the Clift to be highly over-rated. It's a "hip" place, but not well suited for business travelers

Only stayed for one night, but what a treat. My room overlooked an alley, but I didn't care. Service was professional. The valet parking- $45 a day!!!! A rip-off, but since I was a woman traveling alone, I did not feel comfortable in the parking garages in the neightborhood. The concierge alerted me to the areas close by that I should NOT wander into alone. Other than that, very pleased.

great location, funky, minimalist look. check a few rooms as they vary in size a lot. gorgeous lilac pashiminas in the bedroom!

Having heard firsthand accolades about the Clift Hotels decor, ambiance and style (from my boss and my cousin), my family and I were eager to experience the hotel ourselves. For privacy reasons, we booked 2 separate rooms.

I stayed at Clift in September 2004 and was impressed with their courteous staff, clean room, and lack of snootiness (even though we used Hotwire instead of booking via Clift directly)

My partner and I stayed at the CLIFT this past weekend and would definitely recommend the CLIFT to anyone looking to escape their normal life and enter an exciting hotel with buzzing public spaces. The bar atmostspire kept us drinking until 1:30am and we only drink wine at dinner when staying at the Four Season or Ritz-Carlton. They just don't have the bar scene that the CLIFT does.

Excellent stay at the hotel. The location is extremely close to union sqaure and the staff was always around to help out with recommendations. I'll stay again! You should try it, if you like a relaxed enviroment.

The Clift was wonderful. Since everything in the city is within walking distance for someone on vacation, don't bother to rent a car unless you're on business. The parking fees for both the city and the hotel's valet are too high unless you absolutely cannot live without a car. The service was great. We were given cookies and milk via room service at no charge, simply because the lady at the front desk really got along with us. The minibar was pretty pricey (More than $2.00 for a Snickers bar? I don't think so!), but I suppose that's to be expected in a trendy area. The hotel location is great, within walking distance of all sight-seeing and tourist points of interest. The room was ample space for four people, and the bathroom was beautifully decorated and just amazingly clean. The telephone in the bathroom was a funny/odd touch. Overall, a very nice place to stay.

ultra trendy entrance and bar area. rooms are very tiny and walls are like paper thin. service was excellent. was hard to get confortable in after spending a few days in santa barbara and carmel. also has morning issues with the garbage trucks on street level..and we were 8 stories up.

The crowd is always loud and large and the bar is always packed with beautiful, but slighly older urbanites. It can be fun if you are with a group but the drinks are pricey and the they need to open up a secondary bar
