As much as I want to leave a positive review there is some negatives which we experienced. The hotel is clean and quiet but we were there for 5nights and the room dont allow for any unpacking. Consider this if you stay longer than a night or two. The room was not cleaned once while we were there. I asked mid way through for new towels but they never came. The safe in room was a plus but then after locking it we could not open it again. We had to call down twice to reception with the receptionist not having much care to assist. Finally when my husband visited reception did she call for some help which took another hour to get to our passports and money. The reception also acts as a check in for what we assume is the backbackers around the corner. The hotel itself is tidy and is very central and we cant complain if it was for a night or two. Just felt that it was an effort for the girls behind the desk to be there.

This was my first visit to San Francisco and I have read reviews extensively for various hotels. The Stratford had incredible reviews from everyone and I can see why. The staff is phenomenal and incredibly friendly. From the moment I checked in I felt great. The room is immaculately clean and serves the purpose for a visit to this city. I will be back!
