Foster's Inn

Beautiful clean room, great staff, hotel had lots of character. Lovely restaurant and bar.

The welcome was great, the staff were very helpful. There is no on site parking but we were given directions to a nearby free municipal lot. We got dinner reservations at the Inn and we had a lovely meal. The hotel is old but clean and next door to the Avon Theatre so great walkability. Close to the heart of the action!

Good rooms, parking off site but not far, breakfast included, clean, and perfect for what we needed

Access to our room on 3rd floor from front entrance difficult. Had to navigate past a narrow area along the bar to get to the back & open a very heavy door to access the elevator. Separate front entrance had very steep stairs to climb. Not ideal for older guests with luggage.

Really enjoyed our stay- dinner was incredible. Only suggestion is a coffee maker the room would be nice.

Didn’t know that we’d be in an apartment and not adjacent in the Inn. It took us a while to figure out where the free parking lots were but staff helped. There was a steep long staircase up to the flat which we could just manage but anyone with mobility issues or heavy luggage would find very difficult. The premises were clean and well maintained and very close to the theatres.

Everything was great. New management so a learning curve to some of the smaller details. It would have been nice if there was a mini fridge in the room. Wasnt clear about room service but easy to order and pick up from restaurant area. A few details on expedia don't match up ie breakfast hours.

Great location for walking to Avon theatre. No on site handicap parking but desk person gave up his spot at the back door where the elevator was located. Very kind.

Great location, nice property, friendly staff. However, we wish we had known that we were staying at the apartments and not the inn. I'm still recovering from a long illness, and thought we would be at the Inn and thus have an elevator. There are quite a few stairs at the apartments.

Nice large room with 2 queen beds & lg bathroom. No fridge or microwave. Parking is free, but 3 blocks away. room is up a long, steep flight of stairs, no hotel lobby - check in at restaurant next door; elevator is inconveniently located and only within restaurant hours.

This is a fantastic place if you just need a convenient place to stay downtown Stratford and are only going for a night. The room was really neat but just needs so more love. What got us most is that there is a smell like you visited your grandmas house and she has been a smoker for 40 years. Some air fresheners, more attention to cleanliness and a fresh coat of paint will go a mile. Parking is a bit of a walk which was not what we were expecting because it’s not right on the property. The last concern is the noise. Not that people were making a ton of noise but the hallways are so lively and there really isn’t any sound dampening material in the hotel so you hear everything! This makes it a bit difficult at night or in the morning when you want to sleep and you hear people talking or turning on the shower or knocking on doors. Stay here for convenience but it has some issues.

Fantastic place to stay! Spotless and comfortable (and cool!) rooms and wonderful, friendly service. Perfect location. Will definitely stay again when in Stratford!

Clean room, eclectic setting, fun staff.

Liked location & quaintness of hotel. Friendly and pleasant staff. Disliked permeation of cigarette smoke and stale cigarette odour. Employees smoked under room window. Due to allergies, caused congestion every moment in room. Disliked looking out window into open garbage dumpster

The Inn is incredibly clean and comfortable.

The staff were lovely and check-in seamless. Our room was in the third floor. The hallway smelled like cigarette smoke. The room needed to be aired out. The odouts were unpleasant. There were small ants on the bathroom sink/vanity from the night we checked in, killed them and next morning. There was someone else's toothpaste on the wall to the left of the vanity. The bed was terribly uncomfortable. Would not recommend. .

Clean room, great restaurant.

it okay. no hot water for shower.

Room was very clean. Front desk staff member (a lovely New Zealander) was super helpful. We had a great stay, an amazing dinner at Mercer's and a wonderful breakfast.

Located centrally. The room had no windows, only a skylight so even during the day it was darkness in the room however the skylight had no coverage so early in the morning the room was lit up. Also, the bathroom had a large window so if someone uses the bathroom at night and turns on the light, it lights up the sleeping area. Parking is not at the hotel but in a free public parking lot several blocks away.

The staff and location were great. Parking is a problem. You have to park behind YMCA where there is free public parking. The room was very clean and spacious. There was a neat window at the top of the wall of the bathroom. It was neat until it was time for bed. The kids didn’t want the room dark so we put the bathroom light on. It was crazy bright. So bring a nightlight. Beds were very very hard! I have never slept in a bed so hard. All in all its a nice hotel. But for the cost I don’t think I will be back. It would have been nice if we got a breakfast voucher or something for the restaurant. For the price we paid.

Liked that it was so close to town. Nice high ceilings making the room appear very spacious. Would liked it to have a bath tub, but otherwise, excellent stay.

Everything at the hotel was very satisfactory. However the bed mattress Was deeply grooved in the centre. it caused us ( in a queen ) to constantly roll into a valley and bump into each other. Thus repeatedly disturbing our nights sleep. A new mattress is suggested. We were in the “Skylite” room 3 rd floor.

Loved the room as it was spacious, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Had dinner on the patio - great wine selection and the food was delicious. Staff are very friendly, helpful and efficient. I would highly recommend having breakfast, lunch or dinner there as well as an overnight stay. Parking is close and it is right down the street from the Avon Theatre.

Location excellent! Across from the Avon theatre. Nice cosy room. Not much sound proofing (could hearing running around upstairs ). Confortable bed. Good food at restaurant below. Great friendly staff Would stay again

Great overnight stay one minute from the Avon Theatre. Nice to be able to walk around town. Staff are all warm, friendly, professional and very helpful. Rooms are large, high ceilings, clean - mattresses on beds are on the firm side. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent - steaks and wine by the glass are fabulous, apps, salads delicious. A great stay. Would recommend. Thank you!

Room was a bit dated and hot water was not the greatest

Room was neat and tidy but quite dated!

Foster's Inn exceeded our expectations. Serious friendly and helpful staff.

Staff is amazing. They bent over backwards to accommodate us.

Hotel, bar and restaurant staff were very polite and friendly!

This is a truly artistic, friendly and fun place to stay!! It is right in the heart of downtown!! Ryan checked us in and was extremely helpful and welcoming! We are looking forward to returning.

Great location. Nice & clean. Our bill was different (more) than what we were emailed beforehand.

Great staff. Fantastic location.

When I voiced my concern about no onsite parking staff were very argumentative and unprofessional. I was also double billed on my credit card and was unable to contact the hotel directly. I have had to waste time and effort to get the issue resolved. As of this time the money has not been returned to my card!

Room was very clean. Front desk staff member (a lovely New Zealander) was super helpful. We had a great stay, an amazing dinner at Mercer's and a wonderful breakfast.

I would like to start by saying that the room was very nice clean and quiet. There was a half bottle of water left in the fridge which I’m assuming was from another guest. The people doing the check in and out were very pleasant and welcoming. We also had a very nice breakfast the next day. The disappointing part of our visit was dinner in the restaurant our first night. I made reservations and were seated on time. I had indicated that it was our anniversary (30th) and I did see it on the notes for the reservation. Our waiter seemed very flustered and not particularly focused. The main issues I had with dinner were the lack of attention from the waiter, and A very disappointing main course. I ordered the pork porterhouse and when it came it was not what I expected. It was very thin and dry, my wife wanted to to send it back but I don’t like doing things like that so I eat it. A couple next to us ordered the same meal and when the pork came it was what you would expect (thick and juicy) as well they were given steak knives to cut the meat. When our waiter returned we pointed out that the people next to us received a much better quality meal then we did. His response was that he just serves the food they send out from the kitchen and he doesn’t control the quality. He said he would let the itches know but I’m pretty sure he never did. There was also no recognition of our anniversary which was disappointing. this wasn’t our 1st visit but will be our last.

It was an okay stay.....decent sized room and good price for being downtown Stratford. I was told I would get my receipt for my stay via email but that never arrived.....so never did get to see a final "bill" for my stay. We stayed on the second floor which was fine. There is a bar/restaurant downstairs. We did go in there for a drink but staff didn't seem overly attentive.....so left and went to other places (The Starlight, The Relic Bar, Chuck's Roadhouse) which were great! There is free parking for Fosters but it is 5 - 10 minutes away. I would stay here again if the price is right.

Close to shopping downtown

It was close to the theatre

The place was amazing, super clean and quiet. Avon Theatre is just right across the street. Walking distance to everything even Via train, about 6-7 mins walk. Awesome stay!

The Avon Theater was just across the street!

Excellent dinner menu with very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was not included, just a free mimosa, coffee or juice. The fact that it’s steps away from the theatre was a bonus.

If you are going to the Avon Theatre it is within steps. Farmer’s Market a block away on Sunday mornings. Rooms are large and clean. Parking is not on sight.

Loved the room as it was spacious, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Had dinner on the patio - great wine selection and the food was delicious. Staff are very friendly, helpful and efficient.

Very well located downtown Stratford. Parking was in free public lot around the corner. Not a huge deal because very safe area. Was a little inconvenient from a luggage standpoint. Great restaurant in main floor of Inn. Lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Very quick walk to River and walkway along River. Very beautiful little town. The Festival Theatre a quick drive or 20 min walk.

Quaint, charming hotel in walking distance to everything!

Lovely stay, great location

Great downtown spot for the night. Food was delicious too.

While the breakfast isn't free, they do offer a free beverage with your meal. The food is amazing and the staff wonderful!
