This is a nice place to stay for the most part. I didn’t like the loud, squeaky cleaning cart and hallway chatter of the housekeeping staff late at night. My room was small, just as described. It was perfect for me, a single traveler. Be aware the shower stall is a bit small. Tall people or people with a larger body type may have a hard time showering. The complimentary coffee was also nice. I loved the location too.

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed for 5 nights. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location is unbeatable. It’s just steps from Union Square, right next to the cable car stop, and very close to subway station and bus stop. However, the amenities were quite limited for a queen room. No fridge or slippers, and the staff didn’t have any slippers available when we asked. The room was also not the same layout as the photos. I chose it because the dressing table was shown next to the window, but ours wasn’t, so the room was quite dark for doing makeup. The biggest issue was the lack of soundproofing. On our fourth night, someone in the next room was screaming all night, and we could hear every word and his footsteps. It was quite scary. I reported it the next day and appreciated that the hotel listened and said they would check if it happened again. Luckily, we didn’t have any issues on the following nights.

The check-in was quick and easy. The clerk was friendly. The "little Queenie" room was just what we needed while visiting the City. A comfortable bed and a large bathroom. The shower was large. The room and bathroom were spotless. Check-out was just as quick as check-in. I really like the nearness to Union Square and the bus lines. I will definitely return to Hotel Stratford.
