The check-in was quick and easy. The clerk was friendly. The "little Queenie" room was just what we needed while visiting the City. A comfortable bed and a large bathroom. The shower was large. The room and bathroom were spotless. Check-out was just as quick as check-in. I really like the nearness to Union Square and the bus lines. I will definitely return to Hotel Stratford.

The hotel itself was pretty, clean, and well located. The room was small like you’d expect in a downtown area but the bed was comfortable. Maybe this is typical in SanFrancisco but there was no parking on site and the street in front of the hotel is for street cars and deliveries only. We had to pay $45 in the garage a block away and haul all of our stuff through the rain to the hotel.
