Hotel Stratford

The Stratford is a very reasonable option for basic accommodations. Although it’s probably a ‘60s vintage motel, the rooms have been renovated. Very clean, and the staff is excellent. They were very helpful and accommodating.

This place was not what it looked like online. I was willing to give this a less than purely negative review because the front desk staff was nice. So, if that's all you need out of a room and a decent price go for it. Let's start with the front door when I arrived that looked like it had been kicked in and patched. Two of the hinge pins weren't even in the whole way. The door did not shut on its own and you had to put all of your weight into it to get it shut from inside. It was a constant worry that it had not locked properly. From there, the room was dated, but they tried to lay a cheap layer of new over it, of course skipping the bathroom which was a little nasty. The shower head as so much calcium buildup that I'm surprised it worked. It did have pressure though, which is good for an old property. The most glaring was the lack of cleanliness. The room had dirt on the floor and there were some stains on the comforter as well as the towels. 50% of my towels had stains - not good odds, especially since I got extra from housekeeping. The bed was not comfortable, but I could have made it work if......they did not clean right outside my room starting at 5 am the last day. They start early and don't seem to care at all, just smiling as you wander to breakfast. That plus they allowed roughly 10 guys to have a tailgate party in the parking lot right outside the downstairs rooms. It was impossible to sleep here. Not worth it even for this price!

My stay here was good got some great sleep just wish it was better breakfast choices on the complementary breakfast .

Large room, clean, comfortable and quiet. Nicer than I expected.
