First of all, free breakfast wasnt mentioned. We ate out 2 of our 3 mornings. Ate breakfast and dinner at hotel once. Breakfast was good. Kids Linguine and Alfredo was bland and my son only ate a few bites, restaurant comped his meal. Pool and hot tub were great. Room was also great. Shower seemed to have endless hot water 😍

We really enjoyed our stay in a Queen Suite. The fireplace provided a cozy ambience and there was lots of room to read and play cards. The coffee machine in the Lobby was much appreciated and the staff was helpful in arranging a taxi downtown. Our only suggestion would be to improve the pool. It was too cold and did not appear clean. We would stay here again.

Liked the free level 2 EV charger. Rooms were a good size and comfortable. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Dining room was fine. Dinner options good - food on the breakfast buffet was average but off the menu was great. Couple things showing their age: creaky elevator and thin towels. But these are minor - overall excellent hotel if you’re going to the Stratford festival.

As per usual, we enjoyed our large comfortable suite, the pool/hot tub, fitness centre and fabulous lobby all decked out for the holidays! Though we didn’t utilize the restaurant for breakfast upon checkout, we did for dinner the day we arrived. Unfortunately, dinner (salmon bowls) were more like a rice soup… have to say though… management offered a 50% reduction from each bowl meal, which we found acceptable. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We did cancel breakfast reservations the next morning.We find the restaurant, as lovely the decor is, still needs work with the actual meals ( temperature and taste). Until next time, The Wauthier’s After nearly a decade of staying at the Best Western Arden Inn, we still love it!

I do not like leaving negative reviews but for the cost of the room it should have been better, much better. Clean towels in bathroom but a bar of soap left in the shower and a used towel hanging on the back of the door. Gross. I have doubts regarding the bed sheets. They should be pressed but ours had a rumpled appearance. The hotel double charged us but with 48hrs corrected the charges.

Our stay was enjoyable for the most part. We wanted two queen beds which were comfortable. The air conditioning didn't work in the sitting room and the fan was very noisy. The bathroom fan was so loud that you would never enjoy taking a leisurely bath. Maintenance is definitely needed in room 310 . It was great that we could open one of the windows for fresh air. Hotels should discontinue using deodorizers when cleaning the room. Staff were friendly and allowed early check in which we appreciated. Check in was fast and effortless.

The hotel never got the booking change from hotels.com. While I appreciate that I was refunded for my hotel, it was a staff party so my staff and I had to wait an hour in the lobby only for everyone to say, you can get a refund in 7-10 business days and rebook now. The disconnect never got fixed and giving me a refund for a room that I can’t stay in that will take 7-10 days to hit my card and asking me to shell out more money (as full price) to get my staff party happen feels exploitative.

Beware of their policy’s that they do not state or share before you arrive. Must have a credit card to stay for a $200 charge for accidentals. They will refuse your stay and deny your refund because of their policy. We placed our reservation thru a 3rd party, which had no mention of any such policy. They allowed for our non credit card payment for room but demanded a credit card on file. The staff was so unhelpful, didn’t care that you’d be stranded and later on found a lady crying in the lobby having the same issue we came across when arriving. This place seems like a scam. The room was clean but had no hand soap? Would never ever give them my money or service. This hotel needs to work on their customer service and hospitality, Terrible experience

Terrific hotel in Stratford, ON. Staff are wonderful - Vanessa at Reception was very helpful, friendly and professional; Margaret (probably Housekeeping) noticed my difficulty in using my room key to enter (made the mistake of having it right by my cellphone) came to see how she could help and assisted me in getting into my room. Our room is clean and inviting - slept very well on the king bed. Especially love the self-serve coffee in the lobby - nice and generous touch for guests!

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars overall was the restaurant. Fora hotel this size the restaurant is very small and reservations needed to be made. We ended up eating at the bar and the bar man was great doing his best to look after people who wanted drinks and food as well. It was a bit slow so maybe extra staff would be of help. Koodos to the Bar Man.
