This hotel is centrally located, which was very nice. Walking distance to many different activities. But was saying that there is no air-conditioning. There were no ice machines or vending machines at all. And there were generally old men that stayed there which was kind of odd. It would be nice to at least have an ice machine to make a drink or two in the evening to relax. And you must keep your windows open all the time otherwise it is uncomfortable. I would definitely consider other options.

No one at the front desk I had to register and check in at another hotel up the street,kinda weird. I was told that the company ran other hotel's in the c Surrounding area. Check in was painless except for having to give them a copy of my physical credit card. Anyway the hotel was ok nothing outstanding. Room was small but ok,sheets were short fitted. Room had no amenities except a coffee pot. It was very close to restaurants and public transportation.

The check-in procedure was terrible. I had to walk uphill one block to another hotel with three items of luggage. There were no cups in the room for water, no Kleenex, no replacement towel service, no coffee maker. The staff I spoke to at the Stratford were lovely, but informed me if I wanted the trash removed or other attention, there would be an extra charge. I was told to take the trash to a receptacle near the elevator.

There is no staff at the front desk which is inconvenient bc you have to walk a block (with luggage in tow) to another hotel to check in. Then, when you check out, there is no place to store your luggage for the rest of the day. There is no air conditioning in the room. Very basic room. The things it has going for it: clean, good location

Absolutely LOVED IT! Got one queen bed and the room was cozy. It wasn’t huge but trust me it had everything you need for you and another person. You have to check in at another hotel which was kinda odd at first BUT it ended up being really good because you use the key to open the door into the building, elevator, you need the key to go up to the floor on the elevator… which is GREAT if you think safety!!!! It was quiet, clean and didn’t have to talk too much to people which is amazing in my opinion! A very nice parking garage is nearby (walking distance) as well as a lot of options for food, transportation, and night life! Overall great experience! 10/10 recommended and I will be booking again when I visit San Francisco in the future! Love to be in the middle of all the fun while feeling safe!

I liked being right at the beginning of the cable car line, it made the location very convenient for travelling around downtown and seeing all the touristy sights. The room was very clean, i had a top floor corner unit and enjoyed the 5 night stay, would reccomend for the price.

I love the location of the property for a hotel room it was decent. We were only using the room to sleep. I think the only thing I would want from the room is a mini fridge or an icemaker of some sort in the lounge area so that I could’ve had a cold drinks when I got back from visiting the city.
