The staff was very helpful on how to get the airport. The location just off Union Square, great shopping area. The rooms are fresh and contemporary. I stayed two nights, I did not have a problem the cleaning lady did not come by because of the value I'm getting for the hotel. I will stay at Hotel Stratford again.

The staff was super friendly and so were all of the guests I came across. The elevator is different, and a bit slow... but the location is rather nice with good options in all directions and I liked being right off the cable car line. There is room for easy improvements but I'd stay here again and would recommend it if you are looking to stay around Union Square.

I work in San Francisco but live 2 hours south in Santa Cruz AND this hotel is super close to my work! I felt safe and comfortable and was able to be at work extra early due to store maintenance. It was so nice not having to drive and be able to just walk over there and go right to sleep!

quiet and convenient, the room is clean and cozy, the only thing dislike was we stay at 8/F, once you came out the elevator, there had a very strong urine smell in the right hand side of corridor area. I do know why.

We were given a room at the 8th floor and we absolutely loved it! It was newly renovated and was so clean. The space was just right, but the design was sleek, it gave an airbnb vibe. Location was so convenient to all the places we’d like to go and also, given the nice view of our room, we felt like we’re in Europe. Had they included a refrigerator and microwave in the room, it would’ve been perfect. Overall, it was only supposed to be a simple overnight stay in the city but it gave us an unexpectedly pleasant experience.

Property is like European hotels, small and cozy. I had single room, everything modern and remodeled, super clean. Tea/coffee only in lobby. No lotion in room. Big bottles of body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Sink outside of bathroom. Room didn't had thermostat, I requested portable heater as they suggested to use radiator, and I didn't know how to use it. Check out is at 11. Checking out between 11 and 12 results in a few. I slept well and no complaints for 1 night. Would stay again. Excellent location. No carpet in room, hard floors. Took off one point because soap at sink was unwrapped. It was hard to tell if it was used or new. And hallway near elevator on 8th floor was stinky. But room super clean.

Convenient location, basic services only
Easy to find. A short walk from the Powell BART station straight up the cable car street with a large sign visible from a distance. Lift & rooms are key card access. Check in was straight forward. Reasonable size room with a clock, sink, bathroom along with power sockets and USB ports. The bathroom door slides but doesn't seal so it's not particularly private and I found the light went out about every 4 minutes whilst in the shower with the slide closed. The sink is in the room rather than the bathroom. No air conditioning, just a ceiling fan. One small window into a courtyard area. No tea of coffee making provided. Quiet all night and property is right next to Union Square. No luggage storage facilities in the hotel - this is available at a shop across the street for about 20 dollars but only till 7pm. Good hotel wifi, but these are not the sort of rooms you'd want to spend time in other than for sleeping.

The sink is outside the bathroom. The room is so tiny. Good location but that’s about it. It is not worthy the money we paid.

The room is very clean, and location is excellent. My only request is the room needs have a closet or an extra table for unpacked clothes. The room only has a very small table, no other furniture, very hard to place unpacked clothes.

The rooms were the perfect size for what a single traveler needs. If you’re the type of person who prefers to live in your hotel room it’s not the best, but if you just want to sleep and get ready in it, it’s perfect. Clean, modern and adorable. The location is great as well despite being near the “bad” part of town, because it’s at least one block away from where that part of town starts so it’s not obvious in any way.
