What Happened to Stratford Court Hotel After Hotel Impossible?

Hotel Impossible (Travel Channel) featured the Stratford Court Hotel in Cedar City, Utah, in the episode 'To Be or Not To Be,' which aired 2015-09-22 (S6E4). The Travel Channel series, hosted by Anthony Melchiorri, profiles independently owned hotels and motels working through operational and guest-experience setbacks, and the Cedar City property appeared as one of the small properties the show worked to turn around. The building sits at 18 South Main Street in Cedar City. Since the episode aired, listings for the address have changed.

According to a Yelp business listing updated in 2026-09, the property now operates as Stratford Court Apartments. The operator's own Squarespace website, checked 2026-09-09, describes the address as Stratford Court Apartments, marketed as Cedar City, Utah student housing, with listed rates and contact information for prospective residents rather than overnight guests. Google Places likewise carries the address under the Stratford Court Apartments name rather than the Stratford Court Hotel name used on the show. No dated source reviewed across the show identifies a specific month or year when the conversion took place.

Older travel-booking pages, including listings on Hotels.com, Expedia, and Travel Weekly, still reference a 'Stratford Court Hotel' at the same 18 South Main Street address, but none of those pages carry current 2026 content, hours, or reviews confirming ongoing hotel operation. Taken together, the current Yelp listing and the property's own student-housing website indicate the building's use has changed from a hotel to residential apartments.
