Editorial Review for Clift Hotel - Book Direct – by Daniel Liszt

The Scene
Oversized arching doorways lead fashion-forward visitors into an alluring lobby that's dimly lit and appointed with leather chairs, velvet sofas and toy animal photos (courtesy of France's Jean-Baptiste Mondino). The property, now part of the Morgans Hotel Group, was redesigned in 2001 by world-famous Philippe Starck (along with Studio 54's Ian Schrager) and this is most evident in the main floor lounge, the sleek and chic Redwood Room. Celebrity sightings are common here, whether these out-of-towners are enjoying signature cocktails or eating at adjacent Asia de Cuba.

The Details
All 374 guest rooms feature modern color palettes (ivory, grey, lavender) and boast city views, 400-thread-count sheets, high-speed Internet access and cable TVs with DVD players. Visitors can also work up a sweat in the hotel gym, replete with fitness equipment and flat-screen TVs. Three rooms on the mezzanine are available for private events or business functions.

It's okay

10/29/2007 Posted by beanie77

Stayed at the Clift for a work event so I'm not sure how much they go for. The rooms were okay, nothing exciting at all. Our room was a decent size but can't think of anything to rave about. TThe location is nice and close to restaurants, shopping and bars. The drinks downstairs are over priced and the scene can make you wonder where these people come from. The customer service was very friendly. I wouldn't stay here again and hope there are better hotels in San Francisco.

Pros: Location

Cons: Value, quality

Not all it's cracked up to be...

The Clift Hotel is located at the corner of a very busy street and this makes their car service horrible (we had to wait almost 20minutes for our car even when we called for it 5 minutes in advance from our room). There is no option for parking except for Valet for a nightly charge of $45+tax (but I think this is pretty customary for hotels in San Francisco). Once parked, you are greeted by pretty helpful people. The lobby decor is uniquely modern with many different sized/shaped chairs everywhere with low lighting. The rooms are relatively small, even for a suite. The tiny 20-inch old style television was the biggest disappointment for my bf who was excited to watch a baseball game on that night. Our bathtub was cracked and not wellkept...this was a no-no for me. Internet was about 10bucks a night when it's normally free at most nice hotels we've stayed at. At night, the lobby area gets REALLY noisy and crowded because the restaurant and bar is open to the public. For the price we paid, I think I would have been much happier else where.

Pros: helpful service

Cons: parking, tiny room, noisy
