This is hotel is perfect for sight seeing. The location is just right if you want to ride to the bay on the cable car. The hotel is a small size, quiet, clean and comfortable. I'd aboslutely stay here agin when no doubt I come back to visit in the future. There are breakfast options in the hotel but plenty of eateries in the area.

I was in San Francisco for a conference at a different hotel. Hotel Stratford was within a few minutes walk. I knew I would be at the conference throughout the day. I just needed a place to sleep. For <50% the cost of the conference hotel, Hotel Stratford was clean, convenient, and comfortable. There was no refrigerator in my room but that didn’t matter. I was able to get chilled water or hot water from their dispenser in the lobby (less waste). WiFi was fast. The room was small but functional. I didn’t choose the breakfast option since the conference had breakfast. Their coffee was reasonably priced and good. Shopping was just outside as were dining options. I was able to walk to Little Tokoyo and the waterfront (1-1.2 miles away). I did have athletic shoes because San Francisco is hilly. The bed was comfortable, the desk was suitable, there was no shortage of electric outlets, and the bathroom was fine. The staff were friendly and helpful. I like staying away from the conference hotel if I can to get a break from it. Hotel Stratford allowed me to do this comfortably.
