    cleanliness issues

    great location but could improve on cleanliness

    The location is truly ideal, making it easy to access main attractions quickly. I found the rooms spacious and comfortable, which made my stay more enjoyable. The excellent customer service at the front desk left a lasting impression. The city view from my window was great, providing a picturesque setting to start each day.

    However, I noticed some areas of the hotel could use a more thorough cleaning, which detracted from the overall experience.

    Just a smart choice for a lightning stop in San Francisco with good price value. The friendly check-in with Paul was a highlight. Just know that the rooms show some wear and tear.

    spacious room
    cozy vibe
    limited dining options

    We had a fantastic time enjoying the 24-hour fitness center, especially with the Peloton bikes! Our spacious room was perfect for our family of five and beautifully decorated. The kids loved the Living Room's cozy vibe, where we played board games together.

    My kids wished for more kid-friendly menu options in the dining area.

    The room was spacious with a seating area and a flat-screen TV. Loved the modern bathroom with a shower and complimentary toiletries. Front desk staff were super helpful and always friendly. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious, especially the California-style omelet. The fitness center had good equipment too. Cool bar with great cocktails too!

    I truly enjoyed the elegant ambiance of The Clift Royal Sonesta. The stylish decor and comfortable seating areas in the lobby made it a perfect place to relax. Easy accessibility throughout the hotel impressed me as a senior guest.

    Improved accessibility features for seniors would be beneficial.

    vibrant bar
    thin walls
    noise disturbance

    We recently had an incredible stay at The Clift Royal Sonesta! The stylish decor instantly caught our eye, making the atmosphere chic and welcoming. Our room was spacious and beautifully designed, featuring a lovely seating area that was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The vibrant bar was a highlight, where we enjoyed some delicious cocktails in a lively setting.

    The only slight downside was the thin walls, which made it easy to hear our neighbors.

    Couples seeking a unique stay

    Had a very pleasant stay with a fantastic view from the 16th floor. The folks at the front desk were super nice, and they even proposed a room upgrade when we arrived.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but for what we got, I'd say it was acceptable.

    well-appointed room
    stylish decor
    attentive staff
    high price
    limited accessibility

    I had a positive experience at Sonesta during my recent business trip. The room was well-appointed and notably clean, which is essential for a productive stay. The hotel's stylish decor and vibrant atmosphere contributed to a refreshing environment. The bar offered an excellent selection of drinks, and I found the staff to be highly attentive, ensuring all my needs were met promptly.

    The price per night felt high compared to other options.
