The staff was wonderful. Mostly our concierge, Steve. He went above and beyond to make our anniversary so special. We are planning to go back to San Francisco later this summer and the main reason we will stay at Clift Royal Sonesta is the service level that Steve provided us. Thank you so much.

The hotel, room and bathroom were all very nice. The breakfast spot attached to the hotel was great. The only complaint is that the hotel itself borders the bad side of town. I left one morning and came across used drug paraphernalia 100’ from the front door (at another property). I would still stay there again for the price and considering how nice it is.
