    Needs a little more attention to cleanliness. The bathroom was borderline grungy with a stain on the sink; the brush holder for the loo cleaner was just about overflowing; and there was a stain on the carpet leading up to the first floor.

    Location is great, and the room is a good size

    Could have more lighting, especially the kitchen area. Dragging suitcases up to the 3rd floor is a challenge. Carpet and shower could be cleaner.

    There was no toilet roll holder. It’s a pretty minor issue but stacking toilet rolls on the lid of the tank risks them falling on the floor and getting wet from the shower.

    Location was outstanding! Instructions from the staff re access, check-in, check-out and wi-fi password was clear, timely and excellent.

    Stairs going up to the room is unclean. Door to the bathroom does not close. No towel racks to hang wet towels. No view from the room; just a rooftop.

    The location was close to the theatres and restaurants. It was very central to parking and shops as well. The location is excellent.

    No towel racks. Our room was clean but I noticed two bits of paper refuse near the bedside table that did not get picked up. The room could use some updating and replace the carpet with LVP floor. I noticed our friends room had the new floor.

    Great location and good price. It had good blackout blinds and drapes that blocked out the street lights very well.

    Even though the bathroom was in very good shape, I needed to clean toothpaste spatter off the walls around the sink. The carpeting going up the stairs and in all the hallways and our bedroom was not in good shape and in some places dirty. The walls need a new fresh coat of paint. Everything else was great.

    The location was wonderful right around the corner from the theater we were going to and downtown Stratford. The room was nice and spacious. It had every amenity we needed. It overlooked a parking lot where we kept our motorcycle. The bathroom was lovely. The shower was fantastic. The bed was comfortable. Even though there wasn’t a real person on site, the staff was very helpful on the phone and clear instructions on how to get in and out of the building.

    When we viewed the photos of the property we were aware that there were stairs, but unfortunately there were 21 of them and very steep, due to a mobility issue it was a major challenge to negotiate them. The very small entrance hall from the street was filthy, the wallpaper was peeling and the carpet was very dirty. We understand that entrance areas can show wear and tear but this really needs to be addressed.

    There was no breakfast option but we were aware of that at the time of booking. The location was ideal for both the Festival and the Avon theatres, the actual room was fine, bed very comfortable,

    Nothing other than aforementioned carpeting.

    Great suite, they could probably pull the carpeting, hardwood floors would suit the period building better.

    We couldn't turn on the hot water tap in the bathroom and there were no extra blankets. The "pull out couch" was only a cot, although it was comfortable.

    The location was so perfect for our show at the Avon and for shopping. It was a self check-in, which we liked. It was very quiet and cozy.

    We didn't know there would be a second email and it was in my spam. So I had to call to get the information and then of course, I found it later. That's a bummer with all this texting and no front lobby etc. Also good thing we were mobile and could go up 3 flights of stairs, which could be a problem for some people. I will definitely checking reservations more closely through Book it.

    Room was nice and modern, and close to the centre of the Town of Stratford. It was within walking distance of the main dowtown and we liked that.

    Overhead lighting could have been brighter. Body wash in shower was empty. The two corners on the bed frame need a little padding. Ouch!

    The bed was firm and comfortable. I wasn’t expecting the kitchen setup. Otherwise I’d have packed some food items. This would be great for a longer stay: I only stayed overnight.
