My husband and I arrived at the Clift on a Friday evening around 6pm, after a long day of wine tasting. Valet informed us that parking was $57 per night, which was much higher than I expected (if we hadn’t been so tired we would have drove around and found cheaper parking). Check-in was smooth, the lobby is funky. We... More

I had been interested in staying at this hotel for a while thanks to its modern, cool style and I always appreciate it when hotel staff takes time to respond directly to Tripadvisor comments, as Tyler Schroeder does for the Clift. We were in town for a birthday treat and so I contacted the hotel in advance and both Andrea... More

Stayed here for three nights, on a solo trip to run the Bay To Breakers race. This is a Morgans hotel property, so trendy decor is a given, and that is indeed what awaits in the lobby. The doormen are attentive. The lobby is dark, as others have mentioned, with a fireplace and wood paneling and oversized furniture. (Like everyone... More

We had very beautiful weather in the city, sunny skies for the 101st Bay to Breakers race. The hotel lobby is so dark that is takes a while to get your eyes adjusted. Once you do, you will see a very hip and chic space. The superior room was a good size but the bathroom and closet are a bit... More

Just spent a wonderful 5 nights here. From checking in to checking out every member of staff we spoke to was first class. We were lucky enough to get an upgraded room on the 13th floor and it certainly met all our needs and made for an extremely comfortable stay. Location was also great with easy acces to public transport... More

The service and attentiveness of the staff set this hotel apart. It is a modern hotel with business like rooms; very clean, quiet and comfortable. The location was great: close to restaurants, shops, transport. I agree with other reviewers who have commented that it is a rip-off that the hotel charges for internet WiFi connection -- this charge was waived... More

Clift is a lovely hotel. Rooms are very nice and modern and all staff really friendly. The bar is not only a good place to grab a drink but has amazing decor. Would come back and stay again.
