Only 2 bath towels, no was cloths or hand towels. Room was very hot. Had to leave un screened windows open all night to cool room. TV didn't work initially but was resolved by maintenance. Rosemary of the Strafford was awesome once again. Thanks Rosemary for smiling and making me feel welcomed. -Anthony Zinn.

Location is good, right on the union suqare. Small rooms, for checking in you've to go to sister hotel Stratford. You've to pay extra for house keeping. But overall a nice experience on a budget.

Good rate for a very centrally located hotel but you do get what you pay for. Intermittent plumbing and elevator issues, no in unit fridges or really anything but bed desk and bathroom. Would stay again but probably not more than a few nights.

Better than you think
I booked this on the basis of price. I was expecting a sub-par experience. I was very pleasantly surprised. Great rate in the heart of San Francisco. I was warned about the homeless problems in this area and while there was a bit of that, it was small in comparison to store owners cleaning the sidewalks in front of their stores. The room was small, for sure. But it had every basic that I needed. Also, the room was clean.

Good location, close to transport/cable. There’s not a fridge in every room, you can ask based on availability. Apart from that a good hotel.

Perfect for the price. They don’t clean your room daily. The front desk is only staffed on weekends, but they have someone at a nearby hotel that can take care of things. Very clean. Very quiet.

Had a great time sleeping here. The room was clean but the building was pretty old and a bit dirty. There were many homeless people around the area but they kept to themselves and respectfully asked for money. I would stay here again.

No frills, check in and front desk staff located in nearby hotel. Building is early 1900s, but with updates to important things like beds, bathroom fixtures. I liked the retro ambience and attention to the important stuff. Location is both good and bad: right near both the best and the worst of SF. This place won't suit everyone, but it's great value and I would be very happy to stay here again.
