This was my second stay at the Stratford, which shows you that I liked it well enough to stay there again. The rooms seem to have gotten a minor upgrade since last year. There was a new LCD television on the wall. This bathroom was nicer than the one I had last year - I'm not sure if it was... more

This was our first stay at The Stratford ( & in SF) and we would definitely book here again. The location is excellent, so close to Union Square, the cable car, restaurants, shopping, theatres, MUNI and BART...I could go on and on. The room was small, but we expected that after checking out the hotel's own website. It was clean... more

We stayed here for 1 night before heading home. The location of this hotel is fantastic - probably less than 30 second walk to Union Square, and a couple of minutes to the cable cars. We were given a room on the 7th floor (no view) and the room was so small that we couldn't actaully open the door properly... more

From the moment I walked in the door at 1am, the staff there was welcoming, friendly, and very very helpful. The reception area is really small, and no the rooms are not very... more

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and were very pleased overall considering the price, paid only $79/night through a special they had going on. The location itself is perfect, walking distance to restaurants and the trolley stop, we even made the trek on foot all the way to Fisherman's Wharf. The rooms are very small but clean... more

I can't say enough good things about this little hotel. My two girlfriends and I decided to do a mini tour of California and this was a wonderful place to start. Sure, it's not a luxury hotel but then it was also incredibly good value for money. It's in a great location right on Union Square and brilliantly located for... more

We stayed at the Stratford for four nights last week and found the hotel to be very good value for money. To be honest, for the price that we paid we weren't really sure what we could expect. The rooms were very clean, with newly decorated and spotlessly clean en-suite bathrooms. Beds were comfortable and the hotel staff were very... more
