Lovely boutique hotel in great location
With the varied previous reviews I was unsure how I would like the hotel, but I had nothing to worry about. It was modern, clean, with a great location and friendly staff. My room and bathroom weren't huge but were perfectly fine and modern. I had a room overlooking Powell street that was a bit noisy, but it didn't disrupt my sleep and I loved that the trolly stop was at the corner and union square was at the end of the street, not to mention the BART stop to the airport was just 2 blocks away. It was a lovely boutique hotel and I would definitely stay again.

Good but no luggage check
Overall this was a good experience, with just a couple of frustrations: I arrived early, before rooms were ready, and expected to store my luggage there while went to meetings. They told me they don't do luggage storage. What hotel doesn't do luggage storage for their guests?! Same problem on checkout. So I basically spent two days dragging my luggage around Union Square. The staff was also kind of unfriendly and mostly unhelpful. The rooms and common area, however, we recently remodeled in a pretty stylish way and the room was spacious and comfortable, albeit very basic. I would stay here again -- if I didn't need to check luggage.

Good location, safe and clean. It’s a two star….just be aware of that. Bare bones room but the price was right during JPMorgan when the Marriott courtyard is $1800 a night. Generally I would stay in a higher level hotel so just be aware.

It's great if you just want a bed and a private bathroom bathroom. Eighth floor had a weird stinky odor. TV was small and mounted near the ceiling.

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.

4/10 Fair

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.
