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.
