I stayed at the Clift for three nights in late April. Though my room on the 14th floor was comfortable (though small), the walls are paper thin. I could clearly hear the person in the next room having a phone conversation, talking with their spouse and even their TV. Also, my room had a total lack of easy to access electrical outlets. Overall, ...
Only stayed for one night, but what a treat. My room overlooked an alley, but I didn't care. Service was professional. The valet parking- $45 a day!!!! A rip-off, but since I was a woman traveling alone, I did not feel comfortable in the parking garages in the neightborhood. The concierge alerted me to the areas close by that I should NOT wander into alone. Other than that, very pleased.
great location, funky, minimalist look. check a few rooms as they vary in size a lot. gorgeous lilac pashiminas in the bedroom!

Clift Hotel a Major Disappointment
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/04/06
Having heard firsthand accolades about the Clift Hotel’s decor, ambiance and style (from my boss and my cousin), my family and I were eager to experience the hotel ourselves. For privacy reasons, we booked 2 separate rooms.
I should have known our experience would not live up to our expectations when we first arrived. The lobby and ...
I stayed at Clift in September 2004 and was impressed with their courteous staff, clean room, and lack of snootiness (even though we used Hotwire instead of booking via Clift directly) Speaking of Hotwire, you can save about $100 per night if you book through them (hotel & flight) If you already have plane tickets, you can still use Hotwire ...

Escape to CLIFT
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/17/06
My partner and I stayed at the CLIFT this past weekend and would definitely recommend the CLIFT to anyone looking to escape their normal life and enter an exciting hotel with buzzing public spaces. The bar atmostspire kept us drinking until 1:30am and we only drink wine at dinner when staying at the Four Season or Ritz-Carlton. They just don't ...

Posh Treatment At A Hip Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/13/05
The Clift was wonderful. Since everything in the city is within walking distance for someone on vacation, don't bother to rent a car unless you're on business. The parking fees for both the city and the hotel's valet are too high unless you absolutely cannot live without a car. The service was great. We were given cookies and milk via ...

Hip, Small Rooms, Located in the heart of downtown
ultra trendy entrance and bar area. rooms are very tiny and walls are like paper thin. service was excellent. was hard to get confortable in after spending a few days in santa barbara and carmel. also has morning issues with the garbage trucks on street level..and we were 8 stories up.
The crowd is always loud and large and the bar is always packed with beautiful, but slighly older urbanites. It can be fun if you are with a group but the drinks are pricey and the they need to open up a secondary bar
