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.

Very comfortable hotel. We had a suite, which worked extremely well. We were traveling with friends and the sitting area in the suite worked well for us to get together for a glass of wine before the theater. We will definitely return.

Really enjoy staying at the Arden Park Hotel when we go to Stratford for our “theatre” weekend. It has all the amenities, plus I really like that we can park right at the hotel. Plus, if you enjoy walking, you can walk to all of the theatres.

Our hotel room was decent. It was fairly large and comfortable. In particular, the bathroom was particularly big and the bed linens were clean and a reasonable quality. Having said this, it was far too expensive - $300 for one night and no breakfast included? I wasn't impressed with the AC in the room because it was so loud! I felt like I was sleeping in a cement mixer. The amenities were questionable too. The pool was a disconcerting yellowish green colour. Also, when we checked out, we were not even asked if we enjoyed our stay. Isn't that standard? All in all, it was convenient location wise to go to the theatre, but that's all this place really had going for it. I would not stay here again.
