A few little suggestions to make things even bette

Comfort and food was very good. Unfortunately my room was not cleaned during my stay but I had come back for a nap at 2:30. There was a barking dog next door. If comserving water is important a hand held shower woild be appreciated. The bathtub had grab bars but was not used but the shower did not. Might be a reasonable part of the planned update.

We had a great stay. Restaurant on site was outstanding! Their signature stir fry with soy sauce sesame seasoning was SO GOOD! Comfortable pillows & bed. Don’t recommend jetted tub. Uncomfortable, noisy and even with safety bars I needed help getting out. Otherwise loved our stay! We’d definitely go back.

The employees on property are always friendly, professional and polite. Had a very good meal at the in house restaurant. The hotel itself is starting to look its’ age, but I believe they’re doing a refinish this year (carpets, walls, etc.) so that will be a welcome improvement. Stratford Festival theatres are all within a 10-20 minute walk so the location is great.

I do not like leaving negative reviews but for the cost of the room it should have been better, much better. Clean towels in bathroom but a bar of soap left in the shower and a used towel hanging on the back of the door. Gross. I have doubts regarding the bed sheets. They should be pressed but ours had a rumpled appearance. The hotel double charged us but with 48hrs corrected the charges.
