I had read many reviews about the Stratford, the results of people’s stays had varied. I was happily surprised when I got there. The outside looks a little outdated, though the inside is going through a remodel to make everything more updated. The rooms are small but very nice. I, personally, found it very cute. I did read that the hotel was noisy, I assumed it was from outside noise... I was wrong. The walls are very thin, you can hear other people’s conversations and when they turn on their showers. It can be a little annoying if you are trying to sleep. I suggest ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay very much.
