"Housed in a historic former Civil War barracks perched above the bay, and set between the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman’s Wharf, this is a choice option for outdoorsy travellers."
Fodor's "After years of dust, the hotel has finally completed a slew of enhancements, making this property a good choice for families and business travelers wanting to be on the fringes of Fisherman's Wharf."

Splurge on a wharf-facing room on floors three and above for a quieter night's sleep.
DK Eyewitness "Poised precisely between Fisherman’s Wharf and North Beach, the Marriott offers above-average accommodation in a central location."
Star Service "This hotel may lack the colorful local flavor and epicenter location of the superior Argonaut, but it is a dependable bet that easily bests the Holiday Inn." Full review
Gayot "This understated beige-stucco hotel is one of the largest in the Fisherman's Wharf area."

Rough Guide "The epitome of swish sophistication... Pricey, ultra-cool and almost disarmingly self-aware."
Michelin Guide "Irreverent, unexpected, and surreal, its mind-bending and modern design is a little bit Alice in Wonderland and a whole lot of cool."
Frommer's "Young trendsetters now flock here for overpriced monochrome lavender streamlined rooms with often-minuscule bathrooms, glamorous atmosphere, and a heavy dose of attitude." Full review
Fodor's "The entrance is so nondescript here, you could walk right past it without a hint of what's inside, and that's exactly how the clientle—a mix of hipsters, music-industry types, and celebrities—like it." Full review

Some visitors have remarked on the thin walls and advise booking a room on an upper-level floor to avoid street noise.
Lonely Planet "While the Clift is deliciously notorious for its penthouse parties, tough design critics might find that some rooms are too cramped for sleigh beds, and some cabinets might've been bought at IKEA."
Travel + Leisure "A dimly lit lobby littered with art furniture, lavender-hued corridors, and guest rooms done in restful beiges, grays, and more lavender." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The dramatic Clift is a striking example of modern design, with a lobby created by Phillippe Starck."
Time Out "This Schrager-Starck property is still the hippest hotel in town, and doesn't it know it." Full review
Star Service "Located in the heart of the city and next to the Curran Theater, across the street from Marriott's Hotel Adagio, this hotel may bear a name closely associated with San Francisco's old..." Full review
Gayot "Once the most traditional of San Francisco's grand hotels, this historic building was remodeled in 2001 by avant-garde designers Philippe Starck and Ian Schraeger."
