This was the perfect location to enjoy walking around the town, great coffee shops, convenience of restaurant on site with wonderful food, as well as an in house intimate bar area and cozy couch nook, as well as recently opened patio for the season! The room was spacious and recent updates were evident including new bathrooms, pull out sofa, mattresses and loved the sprinkle of antique furnishings! I would definitely recommend this Boutique Inn in Stratford!

Staff at check-in were very friendly. Room was fine, spacious. Bed was less than great, but did the trick for one night. The location is great, near so many interesting places to explore.
The biggest disappointment was the shower. The hot water lasted less than two minutes and for the remaining time was ice cold. Tried at two different times of the day, hoping that it might have been a fluke the first time, but the results were the same. I hope that they resolve this in the future, for the sake of future quests. I know, for myself, a hot (or even warm) shower is appreciated at the end of a long day.
I will not be considering this location again in the future.

Keeping in mind this is a boutique hotel, which to us means different or unique, this hotel is excellent. You enter into the restaurant which also is the front desk, so we had to wait for service and it was of course busy. That said, it's a unique experience. The room was great, clean, and comfortable. Easy access, and the area around the hotel has many food options and is walkable to many places in Stratford. Would highly recommend this as a nice little place, that is not your typical hotel, to stay.

The room was okay nothing special and smelled slightly of cigarettes. The bathroom had tiny ants.

We had dinner at the inn and we were not impressed at all . First, they had a daily dinner special and the Yorkshire pudding wasn't cooked properly and the said dessert wasn't available so I got an alternative and I was charged more than the 59 dollars. When we addressed the issues no compensation at all. I was told they were not expecting many orders for the special, my god then don't offer it! The food also was drowned in salt! I definitely will not recommend or go back to the inn or the restaurant.

The staff were lovely and check-in seamless. Our room was in the third floor. The hallway smelled like cigarette smoke. The room needed to be aired out. The odouts were unpleasant. There were small ants on the bathroom sink/vanity from the night we checked in, killed them and next morning. There was someone else's toothpaste on the wall to the left of the vanity. The bed was terribly uncomfortable. Would not recommend.

I would like to start by saying that the room was very nice clean and quiet. There was a half bottle of water left in the fridge which I’m assuming was from another guest. The people doing the check in and out were very pleasant and welcoming. We also had a very nice breakfast the next day. The disappointing part of our visit was dinner in the restaurant our first night. I made reservations and were seated on time. I had indicated that it was our anniversary (30th) and I did see it on the notes for the reservation. Our waiter seemed very flustered and not particularly focused. The main issues I had with dinner were the lack of attention from the waiter, and A very disappointing main course. I ordered the pork porterhouse and when it came it was not what I expected. It was very thin and dry, my wife wanted to to send it back but I don’t like doing things like that so I eat it. A couple next to us ordered the same meal and when the pork came it was what you would expect (thick and juicy) as well they were given steak knives to cut the meat. When our waiter returned we pointed out that the people next to us received a much better quality meal then we did. His response was that he just serves the food they send out from the kitchen and he doesn’t control the quality. He said he would let the itches know but I’m pretty sure he never did. There was also no recognition of our anniversary which was disappointing. this wasn’t our 1st visit but will be our last.

Everything at the hotel was very satisfactory. However the bed mattress Was deeply grooved in the centre. it caused us ( in a queen ) to constantly roll into a valley and bump into each other.

Located centrally. The room had no windows, only a skylight so even during the day it was darkness in the room however the skylight had no coverage so early in the morning the room was lit up. Also, the bathroom had a large window so if someone uses the bathroom at night and turns on the light, it lights up the sleeping area.

It was an okay stay.....decent sized room and good price for being downtown Stratford.

There is a bar/restaurant downstairs. We did go in there for a drink but staff didn't seem overly attentive.....so left and went to other places (The Starlight, The Relic Bar, Chuck's Roadhouse) which were great!
