Just got back from our trip to SF and I am very happy we opted for Hotel Stratford. The room is old and small, but it’s perfect if you just need a bed to sleep in and a shower. It was clean and the staff was friendly. I was happy that they allowed us to check in a few hours early! The hotel is undergoing renovation to make it really modern looking but we did not hear any construction (granted it was the weekend). Right next to union square and the cable car stop is right outside the door. Uber’s and Lyft ride shares are all over the place so it wasn’t difficult to get a ride to different parts of the city. Not mentioned in the listing is that there is a blow dryer, smoke detector, and sprinkler system in the room. If you’re just visiting and not high maintenance, then this hotel is perfect.
