The Festival Inn is not actually IN Stratford technically, but about 3km outside. This isn't a big deal if you have a car, but if you anticiapte walking around Stratford easily to the theatres, make sure you call your hotels first and determine exactly where they are in reference to the theatres. The rooms were clean - which is always... More

We usually stay at the Festival Inn to celebrate our anniversary in conjunction with opening night of the Stratford Festival. The king rooms in the Annex are very roomy and spacious with a fridge and a sitting area and this suits us just fine. I just find the attitude of the front desk staff lacking in overall customer service. Last... More

We had a good experience at the Festival Inn. We had a spacious room with a queen size bed in the main building and everything was clean and fresh. The rooms had obviously been renovated recently, and the furniture and decor was lovely. We used the pool area and were impressed with how roomy the space was and how much... More

We have stayed at the Festival and their sister hotel, The Arden Park many times over the past 10 yrs. We have had a few miss-steps along the way. This visit was another family event finishing our day at 6, we decided to spend the night rather than driving back to Toronto... We selected the Festival as the restaurant, pool... More

A group of us stayed here for a weekend in Stratford, and it was alright. Close enough by car to the downtown area, but not by foot. The hotel is large, with lots of rooms and space - but very outdated. Feels very old, and rundown. Pool area wasn't the greatest, needed some work. Rooms were a good size, but... More

No surprises here. Good value for the price. Clean and Tidy rooms. Checked in with a reservation, cards and paperwork were waiting. Looks like a wedding was going on when we arrived. Nice large indoor pool area with hot tub in the corner. Restaurant catered more to fast easy food menu.
