Beautiful Hotel lacking at the Front Desk

Booked room with chase lounge for young daughter to sleep but were given a with a king bed with chair. FD agent informed me that king bed sleeps three and cared less to accommodate my family. Brought my daughter to tears. Upon cancelling our five night stay reservation, a different FD agent offered an upgrade with higher price point but we declined. Booked a spacious room next door at the Marker where the FD agent corrected the wrongs at the Clift with complimentary drinks, snacks, and even called us to make sure we enjoyed the room.

I recently stayed at The Clift Royal Sonesta in San Francisco, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The hotel perfectly blends historic charm with modern luxury. The moment I walked into the elegant lobby, I was impressed by the stylish decor and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going out of their way to ensure my stay was comfortable. Check-in was smooth, and every interaction felt personalized and genuine. My room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, with a comfortable bed and large windows offering a great view of the city. The amenities were top-notch — everything from the plush robes to the high-end toiletries made it feel like a true boutique experience. I also appreciated the central location. Just steps away from Union Square, it was easy to explore nearby restaurants, shops, and attractions. Despite being in the heart of the city, the hotel was peaceful and quiet — perfect for relaxation after a day out. The Redwood Room bar is a must-visit — chic, vibrant, and a great place for a craft cocktail in a stylish setting. The vibe was upscale but unpretentious. Overall, The Clift Royal SF exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay in San Francisco.

This has always been one of my favorite San Francisco hotels and we always try to stay here for at least one night. When we checked in last night we were notified they no longer offer valet so we were forced to park around the corner for $70. NOT A FULL SERVICE HOTEL any longer clearly. We won't stay here again. Sad to see that is has gone downhill with Sonesta.

The beds were comfy but the walls are thin. Could hear next door occupants sneezing and other things… also, from 7-10 am could hear upstairs noise, maybe our room was below housekeeping storage? Room was nice size, beds were comfy and staff were polite. Fredrick’s was delicious choice for breakfast next door. Would I stay here again, probably not. I can’t say location was fabulous bc of union square, two blocks over, lots of homeless and sketchy for the family to feel safe.

The hotel itself was great. The room was large and clean; the staff was friendly. The only issue with the property is its location. It’s in Union Square, just on the inner perimeter of the Tenderloins. Walking a block or two in most directions will place you squarely in unsafe territory. The streets were filled with unhoused individuals, many of whom appeared to be on drugs. There was human excrement on the streets, etc. I would not stay there again for that reason.
