You get a lot of bang for your buck
My friend and I stayed at this hotel for the entire last week of September. All the other Union Square hotels were almost or completely booked. We ended up paying $140 per night for two single beds. For the location, and the season, I thought it was a steal. Overall the rooms were comfortable and clean without to many bells or whistles. They have all the basics that you need and they offer a free breakfast. The only thing our room lacked was air conditioning. We actually stayed in two different rooms. One that faced the street and one that faced a very narrow alley. The street facing room was fine with an open window but the alley facing room got warm because the lack of airflow. The staff were friendly, helpful, and able to answer any questions that we had. Overall the hotel experience was fantastic. You truly cannot beat the location. If I head back to San Francisco I will be staying at the Stratford again.
