This property is on Main Street and walkable to the historic Main St. Our room smelled like urine and I realized that I had booked a pet friendly room without knowing it. The front staff graciously upgraded us to a pet free room.

Great location - old smelly room.

The room smelled like dog urine. The pillows and bedding were old and lumpy. The bed had hair in it. The room was small despite it being an upgraded King room. The location was great, close to downtown and parking was easy.

Staff was great! The lobby was nice, but the guest rooms in the main building are very old. It was hard to tell this from the online photos. BW bought a 60+ year old motel and did some minor updates. It was fine, but would stay here again, especially at this price point.

Four Out of Five

The room was very clean. The check in staff was friendly and thorough. There were a lot of breakfast choices available. The only area I gave it a 3 is the room itself. It was definitely dated, and the balcony sliding door didn’t lock. It had a wooden dowel on the inside so someone from the outside could not open it. However, the bed was very comfortable.

Just returned from my 3rd stay at the Bard's Inn and it will not be the last. I absolutely love everything about this hotel. The location is prime. Very close to downtown shops and restaurants 1-3 minutes. 5 minute walk to Lithia Park. Staff is very friendly. Extremely quiet. I saw other guests but I didn't hear a peep from them the entire time from within my room. I traveled with 2 children this time around and they loved the pool and breakfast options. I've also stayed here solo and with my husband. It offers something for all travelers. I feel extremely safe and secure. The rooms are clean and as photographed. Parking is plentiful and secure. Highly recommend. Looking forward to my next stay already!

This was a great little find for us. Its part of the best western family and we've always had very pleasant experiences with the brand. Its very walkable. So much to see within a few blocks. Great place to stay if you're attending a show for the Shakespeare festival. Our only issue was the spiders. So many spiders, outside on the car and in our room. We only stayed one night but managed to get jump scared by spiders a few times.it wasnt a terrible experience, just a note if youve got a fear of creepy crawlies. Overall though a great stay and the complimentary morning breakfast was such a comfort.

Great location, needs a few changes

There are several buildings in the Bard's Inn complex, which has one of the best locations in Ashland for enjoying the town and a short walk to the theater. Location is excellent! The building we stayed in was the London, and it was clearly a renovated older building. The room was very clean, but it had an odd odor. The mattresses were lumpy, and the AC is super loud, going on and off all night. This might be a bother if someone is a light sleeper. Also, the second bedroom had minimal air circulation and needed a television. It worked well for the two nights I was there, but I suggest focusing on freshening the air and addressing these other points. Perhaps rooms in their other buildings are somewhat better. However, I would stay again for the location.
