The Bard is always a great option for lodging when attending the OSF. It’s a five minute walk to all of the theatres, the area supports good food and shopping plus Lithia Park has a nice trail for a morning hike/stroll. I’ve stayed at the Bard a number of times and would choose it again in a heartbeat.

The room in the main building was quiet, small but comfortable, and equipped with all the basic amenities. An older and heavily used hotel that is a bit tired, the Bard's Inn provides acceptable and much more affordable accommodations conveniently within easy walking distance to downtown Ashland. All the usual Best Western amenities are--sort of--available. At the Expedia rate, we were content with our stay.

The pros: Friendly staff. Decent hot breakfast. Walkable location to shops and restaurants. The downsides: 1) the place has multiple buildings (our room was across the street), so it's a tad inconvenient to go to the lobby and breakfast lounge when you're in a separate complex. (2) The room is quaint but some may consider it slightly outdated. Bottom line - As a family, we wouldn't mind staying here again.
