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.

Fine

This place is clean and well kept, but very basic. Think motel… parking in front, plastic-like bed covers, very loud window a/c unit, but at least it worked well! Ashland rooms are expensive for what you get!

This is our second time staying here and both times have been great. Friendly staff and clean spacious rooms. It’s just a few minutes walk from several restaurants and if you’re here for the Shakespeare Festival, just a 6-8 minute walk to the theaters.
