The room was very clean and quiet. Loved having a balcony and watching the deer and turkeys. We were very close to all the venues and everything was a just a short walk. Shopping was close and the local restaurants were amazing. Am definitely coming back and plan on staying at the Bards Inn. Staff was amazing!

September 2025 stay

We love the Bard's Inn. It's so convenient for walking to the areas in Ashland that we like to visit. We had a mix up with one of our room reservations this time and the staff were very helpful in sorting it out. Our only concern was that we left our ipad behind when we left and it wasn't turned in to lost and found. We are still hoping it will be found.

Great except for the bed!

Everything was great except the bed was the WORST bed I've ever slept in! Room 792. It sagged in the middle and was uneven and lumpy. Felt like it was a REALLLLLY old bed. It was also squeaky.

The duvet cover was slippery material, so the duvet bunched up and ended on the floor after trying to pull it up. A/C blew Dow on our heads. Turned it off and opened the sliding door. Otherwise, it was clean and well-stocked.

The property doesn’t have even close to enough parking spots for the amount of rooms. We were told that we would just have to try to find a spot on the streets. This meant carrying our luggage down the street up a very steep driveway and up a flight of stairs because they don’t have an elevator. Also their street parking does not have proper lighting so felt a little unsafe. Also it is not dog friendly! Again had to go down stairs, down a steep driveway with no sidewalk on the side and limited visibility for cars pulling in. The room was also very crowded. We barely had enough space for a 10 pound dog!

It was wonderful to be within walking of everything in Ashland. However, the hotel needs work. The beds were horrible, broken down, back hurts. There was not adequate shampoo and conditioner for 2 people. The room was dark and depressing, needs light paint to make the space feel bigger and lighter. Getting hot water took a long time. We'd like to stay again in the future and hope these suggestions help.
