The hotel was fine if a little dated. It was clean and quiet. The receptionist was efficient but not friendly. We went to see the Stratford plays and the hotel is about a 20 min walk to the centre. We would stay there again as it was quite convenient.

Rather tired property although room was a good size and bathroom had been redone and is spacious. Breakfast at the restaurant was mediocre. First room smelled heavily of smoke. Second room had the smoke smell faintly, and a malfunctioning smoke detector at 4:00 a.m. Would rate between 3 & 4 stars.
