Very noisy and clean
We came here for a staycation and it was not a great experience. The hotel is sandwiched between two hotels where the employees are on strike so we heard banging and sirens for 15 hours a day. There was also a dog on the floor above that howled and barked for two days. On top of that, the woman staying in the room right next to ours was loud and obnoxious well past 1 am. When we kindly asked her if she could keep it down, she told the front desk we threatened her and threatened to call the cops. Our visit was not at all restful which is too bad because we paid a lot of money to stay here. The one upside is that the room was very clean. Since Covid, I always wipe everything down upon arrival and I can attest that aside from one small hair found in the bathroom, the whole room was very very clean.

Loved the hotel. Staff was nice, hotel was clean and I believe was recently updated. The only downfall was the only garage was a 5 minute walk unless you wanted to pay $80 a day to valet park.

Location, history and luxury
The Clift Hotel is an historic prob=perty form the 1930's with the gorgeous art deco Redwood Room lounge/reatuarnt. The rooms are renovated and totally up to date as well as spacious.
