First time in San Fran and everyone told me I have to stay at the Clift. They were right! Could not be happier with our experience. Very cool design. Awesome room. First class service. Loved our weekend in my new favorite city. And we will definitely be coming back to the Clift! More

It took me a while to decide on a hotel in San Francisco but I finally decided on the Clift and it was a great decision. The location is great - very close to Union Square, Westfield Shopping Centre, Cable cars, Chinatown, sightseeing buses and shops and restaurants. I had read some reviews which mentioned it was in the Tenderloin... More

ask for a non smoking room. Also try to get a room on high floor levels as the hotel has a night club on 1st floor which make it a bit noisy... but very nice hotel, boutique stylish one. breakfast was very expensive, better get a coffee near by. More

Great location in San Francisco. Close to union square, the great shops, and excellent restaurants. The hotel reminds me of the Delano in Miami. Very trendy and with modern flow. If you want to stay at a great hotel with easy access and for a incredible price, Clift Hotel is the place to stay. Additionally, grabbing a taxi and or... More

The Clift is truly a treat. The hotel is classic boutique design and unique in every way. From the grand lobby to the elevators, this is one of the best design experiences you will have anywhere. Rooms are simple but great, and the people watching is exceptional. Great location right downtown. More

booked because of really good ratings on this page. was a bit shocked though when I arrived - building looks a bit like a factory building from back in the 50ties. But I assume this must just be my perception... Enterred the building and there was it, my first "WOW!" Hard to describe what I felt - it someting between... More

Fantastic service from hotel staff, rooms were nicely decorated but a bit sparse - if you've stayed at other Morgans Group hotels you know what to expect. Common spaces were lovely and the bar was cozy and stylish. Location is nearly as much Tenderloin as Union Square, bit of a stroll from things. I'll definitely stay again. More

I stayed for 4 nights in July. I was in one of the top floors and had an amazing view of the city. The location is great, walking distance from China Town, Union Square and very well connected to other areas of the city. The rooms were very clean, and the beds were huge! The decoration is very extravagant, I... More
