“Stepping back in Time”

When my wife and I stepped through the the front door we were surprised to by the look. It felt like you were going back in time. The check in person was courteous but lacked knowledge in what was showing at any of the festival theatres. Being a first timer in Straford I was not sure which theatre was playing the show I was attending. (Did not know there was more than one) She had to look it up on the web for me. She did! Then we walked up the stairs walking on the creeky floor to our room. All I could here is that little voice in my head saying what did you get us into. When we arrived at the room it was a little surprising to see how cozy it was, old looking, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom a little small but for the price I guess it was alright. Restaurant was a friendly place and relaxing. Food had a variety to choose from. Would I go back, probably it was conveniently located to the downtown and if your stay is longer than 1 night don't ask for much amenities in the Inn. The one thing I did not read in any of the reviews that around the corner was the tourist bureau and we were able to get free parking for the day. Just go in and ask for a parking pass.

“Albert Street Inn”

This was the most interesting hotel I have stayed in. The room was very small, but this made it feel cozy and with very high ceilings you did not feel cramped. There are really no services to speak of, we were even given a key to the front door as there were no staff on duty when we returned from the theatre.

“Old style, if you like it that way”

Clean, but no electrical outlet in bathroom. Floors creeked all the time, in room and halls. Front doors and office is closed during the night; no one around after 10pm. Felt like I was stepping back into early 1900's. Needed more than one small wastebasket, especially in bathroom. Beds were extremely comfortable and clean. Great location.

“Apart from the carpets, a pleasant stay.”

The Albert St hotel is in a very old building. As such, it has slightly odd hallways, and slightly creeky floors, but the rooms are very clean, and the bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever had, and I travel quite a bit for work. Most of the reviews I had read before had to do with the cleanliness of the carpets, but that was only a problem in the hallways, and the overall cleanliness and condition was very good. With a coffee maker, free Wi-Fi, and a comfortable bed, added to the amazing (yet quiet) location in downtown Stratford, I would definitely stay here again.

“The place to stay if visiting Stratford”

When you consider location, price, staff friendliness, rooms all recently re-done, and great restaurant, it is the best choice for those visiting Stratford.

“Older hotel, great location. clean comfortable clean rooms”

I was hesitant to stay there because of some horrible reviews, the ''slightly better than sleeping in your car'', comment had me worried... However it was already booked. So here it is, yes the hallway was poorly lit, there is no elevator and you do have to carry your things up 3 sets of stairs, the hallway carpet has had its day BUT, When we opened the door to out room we were plesently suprised. Couldn't believe we were in the same building! The room exceeded my expectations. Brand new carpet, new windows, king size bed with douvet, lots of pillows, seperate dressing room, large bathroom, plenty of towels as well as sitting area with pullout couch. The room was very clean! The parking was dissapointing, you can get a free parking pass from the tourism office, but if you get a good spot , stay parked. You are walking distance from most attractions. Great location. Only 2 blocks to the water, and another block from Tim Hortons. We will be staying there again.

“Great experience”

Great service, warm welcome and very helpful! Room was spacious. Bathroom was very small and dated but bed & linens were new and modern. I would definitely stay there again. Oh, and great location!

“loved the location”

This is a very old hotel in downtown Stratford, within easy walking distance of the major theaters, good restaurants, and the park along the river. Unfortunately the room was very small and the toilet rocked on its base, a symptom of a serious plumbing problem. The hall carpets were old and dirty, but the main staircase of carved oak was grand. The restaurant did not serve breakfast, but the dinner was very good if pricey. I would recommend this hotel only because of its location, and I would stay there again because I could park my car and forget it until I was ready to go home.

“Not impressed”

The location was good. The staff was pleasant and friendly. The room seemed clean and the beds were comfortable. However, the bathroom was awful. It was in need of upgrading and it wasn't cleaned very well.

“Location, location, location”

Perfect location. A block from the main shopping & restaurant street. Easy walking distance to all four theatres.
