Lovely stay in Union Square District
The hotel is centrally located and just a block or two over from the core of Union Square, making it easy to access shopping. It's similarly located near Market Street providing easy access to MUNI, BART, etc. for transportation around the Bay. A nearby garage off of Mason provides safe parking that is reasonably priced for the city. Overall, we felt very safe, and while the Tenderloin is nearby i… The hotel is centrally located and just a block or two over from the core of Union Square, making it easy to access shopping.

Perfectly fine
We enjoyed our stay at The Clift. The hotel is easy to get to and being able to pull up directly outside to load and unload the car was really convenient.At check-in we were offered an upgrade to a suite for $40 per night, which we thought was very reasonable, so we took it. The suite was spacious, comfortable and had a good city view, and we were very happy with the room.The main disappointment w… We enjoyed our stay at The Clift.

Great San Francisco Hotel
The Clift Royal Sonesta is a great hotel with excellent customer service. Our room was clean and comfortable. For us, the Sonesta's location near Union Square was ideal. We didn't rent a car, so we walked everywhere, including two Giants baseball games, the Ferry Building, Chinatown, and North Beach. The Sonesta's bar is located in the famous Redwood Room, which is historic and beautiful. Overall,… The Clift Royal Sonesta is a great hotel with excellent customer service.

It’s ok
The hotel is fine. The accommodation and cleanliness of the room was fine. The employees are pleasant. The rooms are not very soundproof. The decor in the lobby was nice but the sleeping rooms satisfactory. There is no restaurant/room service. However, for the price point, it lacks many items. It took me awhile to accept that I was paying to be in Union Square.I will be honest and say that my expe… The hotel is fine. The accommodation and cleanliness of the room was fine.

Not the same upscale vibe as previous experiences
I have been coming to Clift for over 20 years however this experience was not exactly as luxury as past experiences. They remodeled and the lobby with large chair is now very bright and doesn’t have the same ambiance as the last. The Redwood room no longer has the changing digital art and less food options… Many past famous chairs have been removed throughout the hotel and replaced or seemed to be… I have been coming to Clift for over 20 years however this experience was not exactly as luxury as past experiences.
