It just seemed really run-down and not taken care of. It was okay, but not worth the money that we spent.

Very Basic

Handy to Stratford Festival and economic. But a very basic, plain motor inn. Front appearance odd with fountain in a parking lot. Staff friendly.

We had a wonderful stay. It was an easy 10 min drive to the theatre we went to in Stratford. The room was very clean, well maintained, and the AC worked perfectly. We also appreciated the coffee in the morning. What really stood out was the hospitality... The management went above and beyond by surprising us with balloons and a thoughtful setup in the room for my mom’s 70th birthday. It really made our trip special.

We liked the Shakespeare Inn but …

We booked a Queen sized bed, but we were given a room with a double bed. We did not complain. We did not understand how to work the TV, but the lady came at my request and got it to the channel that we wanted. The day was very hot and the room needed A/C which it had but I was surprised that I had to set it up, as opposed to it being already set up for us. There was a frig which we did not use. There was no microwave but we did not want it anyway. There were only 2 pillows on the bed. I should have asked for more pillows as we like to have one between our legs when we sleep. It was late by the time I noticed so did not want to disturb the family running the Inn. The password for the internet was there and worked. They have a room with tea/coffee and Dad’s cookies that everyone can access. Would I stay there again? Yes, but I would not accept the double bed, and would ask for more pillows.
