Very comfortable hotel. We had a suite, which worked extremely well. We were traveling with friends and the sitting area in the suite worked well for us to get together for a glass of wine before the theater. We will definitely return.

It was a very nice stay, with a lovely restaurant that was very convenient—delicious breakfast. If I had to say anything concerning room for improvement, the toilet (super small) and shower were a bit old, but clean.

Reasonably priced hotel to see Stratford shows
Location was great for the Festival Theatre and very walkable to the Avon Theatre. The other 2 theatres we did not attend but I think they are close by too.
The room was a little dated and while it is nice to have the little bottles of shampoo, conditioner, lotion ... I know in most hotels nowadays, they are trying to be more eco-friendly with mounted toiletries amenities.
