Pros +

  • The location is perfect! I can easily walk to Chinatown, Union Square and all great restaurants the city offers. The rooms are very clean, spacious and comfortable! Staff is AMAZING!
  • The room was very comfortable and nicely designed. The lobby was also very nice and the service was prompt, professional, and friendly.
  • The Clift provided the best staycation I could have hoped for. Spotless room, spectacular dining, the most accommodating staff. I was especially grateful for the doormen since I'm disabled. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Cons -

  • There are a lot of unhoused people in the neighborhood who don't have access to bathrooms.
  • The door to my room was so heavy it required some finesse in opening while I was using my cane. But the heavy doors contribute to the virtual soundproof environment.
  • Lobby smelled like weed they need to use air refreshners
