Conveniently set in San Francisco, The Clift Royal Sonesta San Francisco provides air-conditioned rooms, a fitness center, free WiFi and a shared lounge.

A very nice hotel at a very reasonable price. Frederick's restaurant was GREAT for coffee & breakfast and the Redwood Room was classy and comfortable. We were treated so well there, by bartender Jackie in particular.

    This is a beautiful old hotel, designed by Julia Morgan. The courtyard is a great place to read a book. The breakfast was excellent, especially the two types of quiche. We didn't have enough time to explore everything we wanted to at the hotel, including the indoor pool and the small Julia Morgan museum. We will stay there again on our next trip to Berkeley.

    The staff is very helpful and friendly. Very clean room, new furniture. Very comfy bed. No need to explore the room to find an outlet. The bathroom is updated, the towels by the shower! You don't need to be a gymnast to get the towel... The place is very quiet. The room is not big but it has a very clever design.

    The room had space, and the room design and bed quality were excellent. I found some professional worker who was room cleaner and breakfast staff. I liked the way they worked.

    Cool design, decent sized room with a small walk in closet - perfect for storing luggage. Bed is comfortable and WiFi good enough for video calls. Loved having a tea kettle in the room!

    It's a stunning place to stay at. Everything is so beautiful. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Breakfast is vegan friendly-ish. There is fruit, milk alternatives for coffee and vegan oatmeal. The room came with a clothing iron (with steam - very convenient), ironing board, fan and heater. There's extra pillows and a blanket in the closet. I'll have to hunt down the lotion they are stocking the rooms with, because it is so creamy and smells lovely.
