BEST WESTERN PLUS THE ARDEN PARK HOTEL REVIEWS

The hotel staff was very hospitable. The manager was super nice and accommodating as after prepaying online, we didn't realize the deposit fee was not automatically taken or accounted for . The manager let us put a smaller deposit fee which was definitely in our interest. The hotel suite was nice and big and accommodated a family of 6 and the amazing pool was awesome and super warm. All around it was a good hotel for a really good price.

Highly recommend anyone who is looking for a nice small town wedding experience to check out Arden Park! It's always been one of my favourite places in Stratford, but Lori and the rest of the events team went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day. The suites we had for getting ready in the morning were also so perfect. Lots of space and beautifully set up. Thank you.

Great hotel! Check-in was fast and staff were pleasant! The hotel is within walking distance to a park, stores, restaurants and a theater. The restaurant in the hotel is absolutely delicious! Would definitely stay here again.

THE PARLOUR INN ASCEND HOTEL COLLECTION REVIEWS

Big shout out to the Parlour staff—Cathy Graver and Chef Kevin Hallman—for the excellent food and service at my husband’s big birthday party this past weekend! We were in the Churchill room, which was the perfect size and layout. The staff were very helpful and accommodating from set-up to take-down. They made the event run very smoothly. A large majority of the party guests came from out of town, and those wanting to stay overnight were able to reserve hotel rooms upstairs ahead of time which was so helpful given the nature of the party! It’s an easily accessible location with lots of parking available. I will definitely recommend to friends and family looking for an event space Thank you.

What a great stay in Stratford! The Parlour Inn lived up to my expectations and more. The customer service was unbeatable! They have a free shuttle to the festival (which is amazing), and Kristen who drove us there (apologies if I got your name incorrect) was so friendly and accommodating. Housekeeping even gave us a rose during our stay. The rooms are a bit older but clean and really show Stratford’s history and charm. Parking is free and right next to the hotel. Check in and out was fast and completely hassle free. We didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant but it looked good. We will definitely stay here again the next time we’re in town.

Food was delicious. Our waitress was amazing. She gave great recommendations and even told us about upcoming events in the area. Loved the atmosphere.

FOSTER'S INN REVIEWS

We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary at Foster's Inn Restaurant. Our dining experience was superb. Not too busy at the time we dined (5:30 p.m.). The ambiance and artwork created a most pleasurable backdrop. Susie, our server, was skillful and attentive. The food was probably the best we've tasted in a long time, I ordered the pork tenderloin, and my wife enjoyed her vegetable chow mien. The ingredients were fresh, the food cooked to perfection, and our dessert was a beautifully decorated cup of lemon custard with berries and a vanilla cookie. We highly recommend this restaurant. A gem of Stratford cuisine.

My daughter and I stayed at Fosters Inn and saw two shows. We found everything very good.. Craig was very helpful with a room issue and moved us to a room that was better for us. Our bed and pullout were both comfortable. We had planned to eat different places during our stay but found the food and service so good we ate all three meals there. Will definitely stay there again.

Fosters Inn is located just a few blocks off the main strip. We had a delicious dinner here with really friendly and patient service. Would definitely return/recommend this gem to anyone looking for a lovely dining experience.
