The hotel has a perfect location, just a short stroll to the center and within walking distance of all the town center's attractions. The rooms were very clean but show signs of aging. The service was not professional overall, although we did receive a complimentary bottle of wine. The dining options were fantastic, offering a variety of choices including vegan and gluten-free. The pool area is disappointingly small. The price was reasonable for the value offered.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean, were a bit humid and not as well-maintained as expected for the price. The staff's service was slow at times and lacked knowledge on local attractions. However, the location was ideal for exploring Stratford, and the dining options were mostly good, though inconsistency was noticed. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The room was extremely comfortable, providing a good night's sleep, but the noise level was quite high, and the space felt a bit small without a couch or bath.
