This hotel has a top notch location, it’s very central and easy to reach from the airport. I was upgraded to a bigger room facing the street and even my bathroom had a big window facing the city. There’s a filtered water dispenser on ground level, which you can use to refill your personal bottle, it was a nice and eco-friendly touch. The amenity products smelled really good and the sheets were of great quality. I also loved the modern furniture and the fact that the floor was not carpeted, which provides more hygiene. The room had its own air con/heating device and it worked really well. However, I absolutely don’t recommend front rooms to guests with sleeping troubles, because the curtains are not blackout type and the windows are not soundproof. Powell street is very illuminated and noisy as well, due to cable cars running from 8am to 10pm (or later). During late night you can also hear trucks cleaning the street or picking up garbage. Housekeeping was odd, one time I asked for cleaning at the front desk when I left the hotel on late morning/early afternoon and, when I got back to the hotel on early evening, it hadn’t been done. One other time, housekeeping knocked on my door at 7 or 8pm to ask if I needed housekeeping, that’s not the usual time for cleaning! It’s a really nice hotel overall, but it needs to get double-glazed windows and blackout curtains immediately, for the comfort of its guests

It can get quite noisy because of tram

For the location it's not to bad. If your coming for work or have busy days out this isn't that bad. Definitely not so much of a hangout I'm your room if you have downtime. The TV is mounted almost towards the ceiling and is off center that makes is basically not watchable. You will have to check your own self in when you arrive also.

Excellent service. Late check-out helps me with my luggages and some rests before a night flight. I would highly recommend any solo traveller or couples to stay here during their San Francisco trip.

Great location so central to all activities. The breakfast was delicious. The room was small but well appointed with necessities. The design if very contemporary/fashionable and the hotel staff very friendly and accommodating. Loved the breakfast pastries.

Good location, comfy, will recommend to friends

Customer service was top-notch. The front desk staff were friendly, professional, and went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. They provided me with some great recommendations for local dining and activities, they also told me which neighborhood I should avoid which made my trip much more enjoyable.

The room was clean and well-maintained, with attention to detail clearly evident.

The hotel is located in downtown SF and it's pretty easy to get to most attractions I had on my plan.

All in all, my stay at Stratford exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay with excellent service, a clean room, and a perfect location. I’ll definitely be back!

The hotel is centrally located. The beds are hard and small and the pillows are very bad. The room has nothing but two nightstands. No other furniture not even a luggage holder. No closet, no iron, no refrigerator, no microwave not even on the lobby. For the price is not wirth it. Too expensive for what they offer. Not a hotel I will ever stay again. It doesn't take much to put a mini refrigerator, microwave, and a little table for extra things. Very disappointing.

Very good location but few amenities missing like gym, storage facilities and in house bar. Breakfast is also so-so as it’s just a drink and pastry from the cafe next door.

We got the standard queen bed room… it was about the size of a dorm, with the singular window facing right into another rooms window so absolutely no privacy. We also did not have AC, a fridge, a microwave and other standard things in a hotel room. We paid $500 for our stay for the weekend and felt unfulfilled. The aesthetic is very cute and the staff was lovely. But the rooms themselves were not comfortable for anyone staying longer than one night. The bathroom provides no privacy with the sliding door, and the sink is about a foot away from the edge of the bed. No space for suitcases or bags or anything you would have while traveling. Overall just very uncomfortable.

Dinner was great. Came back the next day for Wednesday pork chop special and told by new manager that had to wait an hour for menu to be available. At 3.30pm At the same time she went ahead with her staff and seated a couple that came after us. When asked why they said oh sorry and too bad for you and everyone else that was waiting to spend money have to wait til 4.30. She said she was new and unable to handle the job.
Wow. Never will go to daily grill again. Spent 300 first night in town. I have never written a review but because it popped up on my phone this is the first and it had to be bad. Daily grill is scratched from my list.

Came in at 11:00 am, we sat at the bar thinking faster service. We were told the kitchen is switching from breakfast to lunch, had to wait 10 minutes before they could make food. 45 minutes later we received our lunch. There was a bartender switch after our order was placed, and it was a shame, the bartender that came in had no care for his customers, stress on his face with every request. A couple came in and waited 20 minutes to even get a greeting...poor service.

Best option for good food on Union Square. We have been there for 3 times last 2 days. Breakfast and dinner. Service is good and food is delicious.

Had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner here with my wife. The place was packed but the food was still amazing and the server was very attentive and helpful. We loved it!
