Buy the parking pass that the hotel offers. It is worth the price, and you can come and go as you like. The hotel is located in the center of town, and you can walk to all of the best restaurants and the Stratford Festival theatres from there. The hotel also has an excellent elevator (a big plus in an older building). The downsides are the shower can go from a comfortable temperature to scalding in 3 seconds (act fast - this happened more than once to me), the rooms were in need of modernization, and the laminate floors needed a good cleaning.

Pro: The central location is excellent, easy walking distance to the Avon theater, downtown restaurants and shopping. The staff was as accommodating as it could be, given the limitations of the facility. Con: The room and en suite bathroom are small and cramped. Our room had to be accessed by half a flight of stairs. We bought air freshener to combat the musty odors in the room and bathroom. We loaned the air freshener to friends who were in the room next door who were having the same experience.Compared to the Arden Park Hotel or The Parlor, The Windsor Hotel has a long way to go before it can be equal to them. Given the state of the facility the room charges were grotesquely overpriced. Overall not a good experience.

This hotel is in an excellent location. It is within walking distance of great dining and shopping as well as the theatres. It is clean and the decor is nice. The parking was very difficult to get into and out of. The wi-fi was sketchy at best, and non-existent the rest of the time. The bathroom had a sink with 2 separate taps that meant you had to fill the sink to wash your hands as the hot water was too hot to use without mixing with cold. There was absolutely no counterspace in the bathroom and it was very small. If you are a larger person, the toilet would be difficult to access.

After we had booked the room, we were informed we had to book our parking separately. We immediately contacted the hotel and found no parking was available. The hotel offered that we could park at a place over a quarter mile away. The alternate parking proved to be an issue as the hotel does not have an area for unloading luggage from automobiles near the entrance and the long walk back from the alternate parking proved “unpleasant” on a hot and humid day.

Had a terrific time staying here on my first trip to Stratford. The knowledgably, kind, and approachable staff were always open to help and chat about their lovely town. Really love the classic features of the building as well. Close to all the theaters by foot. Only thing was that the walls of the older units were pretty thin so if someone opened the conjoining doors between hallways it sounded like your door was being opened as well as hearing a lot of chatter. light sleepers-bring ear plugs. Thank you for the otherwise wonderful stay!
