Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was beautifully decorated with a wonderful waterfall shower and floral toiletries, but it was a bit noisy in the morning and not ready upon arrival, plus the view from the window was disappointing. The service was exceptional, with incredibly friendly and thoughtful staff despite some noisy corridor issues. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of everything Stratford-upon-Avon offers, although parking required an additional fee. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some delicious options but also a few letdowns. Overall, it's a decent stay but with some room for improvement.
