I like how it was close to public transportation (Cable cars) and block away from union square. The room was extremely clean and nice.

The hotel is located in the center of downtown with plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop. The area is very walkable and had ride share options available. A Walgreens and CVS were close by in case you forgot to pack something.

Stratford is a classic older downtown hotel. Very retro feel to it. They have fone a very nice job refurbishing this 50's era building. Just steps from Union Square and convenient for cable car and electri bus options. 20 minute walk to the ferry terminal with its bustling market. You must have the meatballs from the Fatted Calf! Hotel room is small but nicely appointed. Perfect for 1-2 people for a short week in the city. Pleasantly surprised.

The hotel had very limited amenities. My window view was facing another room. The three days that I stayed there, no one came in to clean my room. The location was close to everything but because the hotel faced the street trolley, it made the car drop-off and pick-up is very inconvenient. The hotel was ok if you don’t have too many expectations.

This place is the worst hotel I have stayed in. The first room they gave us looked out on a filthy wall. I will admit that after I complained we got a room that looked out on Powell which was fine. I thought that this place was three stars. Only stay here if all you want is a bed. It was nicely located close to Market st. and the cable stop was in front of the hotel. The staff overall tried to be helpful. The only nice thing about this place. Oh god the toilet seat wouldn't stay up to pee and no wash cloth by the sink to hang a wet towel no door to close when taking a shower so the bathroom floor gets wet when walking out of the bathroom. I really wasn't happy Staying here.
