Breakfast: The available foods for the breakfast buffet were excellent! Perfect for me, and my 13-year-old niece, both of us picky eaters. They also provided Iced Coffee on those 101 degrees days! Whew! SOOO very needed! Front Desk staff: So very friendly and helpful. My niece didn't have her iPhone charger, so they looked through their Lost & Found box & gave her one. Also - when another guest made an online Booking.com reservation at the same time as I did for the last room, the reservation person, Gaia, called me right away and rearranged the room choice.

I didn't understand the TV, but we were there for the OSF productions so that's not a big deal.

The breakfast options included yogurt and steel cut oats with multiple toppings, a variety of breads with butter or cream cheese, coffee, a variety of teas, juices, and dried cereals and fruits. The staff was exceptionally warm and friendly. The rooms are inspected after cleaning. The grand room has many sitting areas and is available for gathering to play a game or bring in food for your guests. The pool and hot tub were well cared for. Safeway is right across the street. The price was very reasonable.

I honestly have no complaints.

The room and beds were comfortable, with an easy to manage heating system. The location was convenient to both downtown and our son's house. Hot tub nice and hot, staff very friendly and accommodating, and surprisingly affordable.

One way I judge a hotel room is whether it has Kleenex (facial tissue) in addition to toilet paper. You made the grade, except that the tissue was very thin. More plies! I might suggest that someday you install a card system to replace the old-fashioned keys -- one advantage would be after-breakfast use of the door from Siskiyou Boulevard.

Very welcoming, helpful staff. Steel cut oatmeal for breakfast, and several other healthy choices (yogurt, hard boiled eggs, granola, wheat bran cereal). Took advantage of the indoor hot tub (open late, thankfully), great way to relax after driving all day and it's saline, so no awful chlorine fumes! Handy to have mini-fridge and microwave in room, and refillable toiletries in bathroom (no disposable single-use containers, yay!). Nice that I could bring my dog. Safeway across the street was useful when we needed to buy some things. Easy 5 minute walk to city center for restaurants, etc.

Didn't realize when I reserved this pet-friendly motel that there was an additional fee for a pet (probably overlooked on my part), but it was not unreasonable.

Big comfy easy chair for reading by the window with a view of Mt Ashland. Down comforter on the bed. Awesome breakfast with lots of toppings for the oatmeal and Greek yogurt, yummm. Air filter in the room. Perfect ambient temperature for me - I didn't get too hot while sleeping. Just a few blocks to the shops and theaters. This place has a great OSF vibe with posters from over the years in the stairwells and it's clear that they have a long history of providing solid hospitality. It just feels good to stay here.

Only thing was that the sink in the bathroom was slow to drain.

The room was clean, spacious, and quiet despite there being at least a couple of boisterous groups on the same floor with us, but the surprise was breakfast. The Stratford Inn has a continental breakfast buffet that we really enjoyed. I had granola with additional walnuts, vanilla yogurt, and FRESH BLUEBERRIES (where did they get those in November?). We didn't use the pool or the Wifi, but what we experienced was all good.

Okay, I'm stretching here, but the TV channel choices, as with most places we've stayed, were numerous but unimaginative and disappointing, Happily, the bed was very comfortable (who needs TV?).

The staff at all levels was excellent! Positive, welcoming and informative. I was surprised by the showers -- open front, humid and sloppy. Maybe more of a new customer"warning" is merited? Parking was very good. I wasn't there long enough to need to use the Safeway across the street but it is VERY convenient. All in all it was a great place to stay except for the messy shower. In good weather it is a reasonable and apparently safe walk to the OSF grounds. The television remote in my room was useless. The cheap remote wasn't self explanatory and there were no instructions in the room about how to use them, and I was too tired to bug the front desk for instructions. I'm not a great fan of TV's so this wasn't a make or break issue for me. I'm a "senior citizen" so next time I'm going to ask about ADA compliant rooms before I make reservations. Please notice I said there will be a next time!

More notice about the showers.

I have stayed there before a couple of times -- always excellent and comfortable. (I wish I'd had time to enjoy the pool and hot tub on this visit.) The location on the main road leading into Ashland makes it easy to find, and was perfect for my meeting just a few blocks in the other direction. With the supermarket right across the street, it's easy to pick up snacks and save a little money (so you can splurge on dinners). I've stayed there before when attending plays, and it's easy to walk or drive to the theater, with some nice restaurants along the way. I was impressed by the breakfast offerings (and by the staff who monitored the food/supplies/cleanup).

I couldn't figure out whether I could turn off the light in the coffee and microwave nook -- it probably is a safety feature, but some of us like to sleep in dark rooms.

The air purifier/dehumidifier in the room was a nice surprise and made it feel less like the typical hotel experience. The decor of the room and building was nice and homey, sort of old world style; the bathroom was clean and spacious, and the breakfast (and breakfast area) was lovely! The staff was also pleasant and helpful. The front desk person even went up to the kitchen to get me some tea bags after I inquired if they had any in the evening. So nice!

The one thing we found odd about the room was the bed. It was a sheet, then something that was either an uncovered duvet or a plain white comforter that was very stained, and then another sheet on top of it, just sort of tucked over the comforter thing. I thing having a sheet over the duvet is a nice idea because then the top of the bed where people sit will always be washed between guests, but it’s strange that they’d leave an uncovered and stained duvet easily visible when you peel back a little of the top sheet. Seems like you could still put a nice cover on it, or just get a cleaner comforter, and continue to do the sheet on top for hygienic purposes.

. Staff were very accommodating with me. I loved that I could get fresh filtered water and that they lent me a container for this.

My first stay of a few days was a little uncomfortable with the noise of the main road but everything else was good. . My second one night stay was in the carpark side and I loved the big armchair in my room. I am a meditator and this made it confortable I only lacked a jug for water and a teaspoon for eating my own food which was duly lent to me.
