There was no screen on the window, the safe didn't work (dead batteries possibly), there was no seal or weatherstripping on the door to the adjoining room so when the person in the room next door uses the bathroom, the room floods with light (and noise from the bathroom). No AC so it was balmy in the room. No rod in the closet for the (only 3) hangers to actually use. Had to find ways to hang clothes from the dusty door hinges, doorknobs (ew) or light fixtures (unsafe). There are outlets in the room with no coverplate (unsafe), the door sticks so you have to make sure to pull it into the jamb so that it locks. And most of all, there was no fitted sheet on the bed so when it comes loose, the icky raw mattress is exposed, which is gross. There was no way to dim the lights, so either the room is 100% bright or 100% dark. Maybe the room was cheap by San Francisco standards, but there are junkies shambling around the door, no hotel staff in the lobby, and human feces on the sidewalk outside, sad sights really. Would not recommend.

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.

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.
