Fantastic location in downtown SF. Rooms were really clean, modern, and new. The windows were basically non-functional in my particular room, but YMMV. For the purposes of having a nice place to sleep each night, this was perfect.
Pros (+) The location is excellent. Near to most of the iconic places in SF.
Cons (-) The room is very small. The bed is not so comfortable, it could have been a better bed.
Pros (+) The location was great for my work trip in San Francisco. The price was great as well! It looks like it's getting an upgrade next year, that I think will be great! The room was clean and it was all I needed for my trip.
Cons (-) My room didn't have shampoo, soap or even a drinking cup for water, and the building didn't have any sort of drinks machine. I think with a little more attention to details like that, this hotel could be really great.
Pros (+) Good location, close to Bart Station. I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast.
Pros (+) Good location
Cons (-) Although we booked a room with a queen-size bed, we were given a room with a double bed. The bed was too small and the room too stuffy/hot, so we asked to change rooms. They were booked and refused to switch rooms, so we ended up getting a last-minute hotel room nearby. They gave us the appropriate room the next day - the bed was better, but the window along Fulton St. couldn't close, so it was no...

Pros (+) It was basically in union square. The hotel was cleanly and the front desk staff where friendly. Breakfast was minimal but appreciated.
Cons (-) It was excruciatingly small. I don't mind a smaller room but I tripped over the bed, chair, and cords many times! The cleaning staff knocked on our door at 9:00 am each morning! Come on, we wanted to sleep in on our vacation!
Pros (+) I booked three nights at hotel Stratford for a conference at the Hilton in Union Square. When I arrived, they informed me that there had been a bookkeeping mistake and they had overbooked for the second night. However, they had already reserved a nice room at the Adante hotel nearby and did not charge us for the second night. When I returned for the third night they upgraded me to a significantly ...
Cons (-) The elevator is a bit slow, but it's not really a problem--it encouraged me to get some exercise by using the stairs a few times :) The breakfast isn't much, but it did the job and the coffee was hot and fresh.

Pros (+) The location was excellent. Also offered a complimentary continental breakfast every morning. Great value.
Cons (-) n/a
Pros (+) Low cost for the area. Conveniently location. Overall my room was reasonably quite despite the proximity to Union Square.
Cons (-) Continental breakfast was pretty poor. Coffee was pretty watered down. I decided not to eat there during my 4-day stay.
Pros (+) The location was good just off Union Square and the staff were really pleasant & helpful.
Cons (-) As other guests say very noisy from the trams & also some construction work going on nearby which started very early morning. We had to have windows open as the room was small & stuffy. The rooms are quite shabby & need upgrading. Our room was very small & only had one small cupboard to hang things & no drawers apart from one very small shallow one. As we stayed for 5 nights this was really inconv...
