What guests think

At Rodeway Inn Festival, guests often praise friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and the indoor pool, while many note a dated condition, inconsistent housekeeping, and facilities like the restaurant, sauna, gym, and hot tub often closed or needing maintenance.

Many find the location convenient for Stratford Festival theatres and nearby shopping and dining, though a few mention outdoor odors and that it feels far without a car. Room experiences vary: some report comfortable nights, while others cite thin walls, small or sagging beds, loud HVAC, and spotty Wi‑Fi in distant rooms. On‑site dining is limited and breakfast is generally not offered, and although parking is plentiful, sections of the lot need work. Overall, expect a basic, budget‑minded stay in an aging property.

Good value for a busy town. The hotel pool was big but needed some freshening up / updating. Some debris in the water.

The staff were wonderful. The parking lot was falling apart. Construction areas made access inconvenient. The rooms were somewhat dated and there were incomplete cosmetic repairs in places. The room was nice and clean. People were drinking alcohol, smoking, and congregating by the entry doors. Security should have cleared them out.

The pool was out of service due to chemical issues. We booked the hotel for the pool, so we were disappointed to learn it was closed at check in.

Front desk staff was great. Bathroom fan was insanely loud but light and fan on the same circuit. TV was dated and poor quality. Pool area was very suspect, didn't clean up area after hot tub was removed and sauna was out of order. Better like Indian food as that was the restaurant option.

Though this is an older property it had ample parking, the rooms were large and well equipped, the beds were comfortable, the property and rooms were clean and the staff were both friendly and helpful. This is not the Ritz so if you are looking for high end, this isn't your property however if you are looking for a reasonably priced stay, this one a chance. (As other guests have mentioned, I would suggest bringing your own toilletries).

This property it’s decor and furnishings are dated but with that said it was very clean from the bathroom to the bedroom with adequate towels, bedding and toiletries. The beds were very comfortable. It’s just unfortunate that they no longer have a hotel bar/restaurant access as it is permanently closed.

We were staying for 3 nights to attend the Stratford Festival. The property is conveniently located a short drive to downtown; about 7minutes. The Stratford Mall is across the street and there are restaurants on the drive, though we ate in town. The beds were comfortable. The hotel was clean and staff were friendly. The hotel does appear outdated and that is my only criticism but it did not effect our stay.

The facility was not clean. Bathroom smelled like rotten garbage. Bed sheets were stained. Towels were stained. Bathroom sink wouldn’t drain. Parking lot was riddled with garbage and pot holes. I will not be staying here again and do not recommend this one star motel. Maybe if they charged $120 -$150 , but $220 a night, what a joke. Do not stay here.

The front desk staff were polite and helpful. Our room was dated but clean. The mattress was somewhat past its expiry date and should be replaced but was not terrible, in fact I slept well. The only negative was the loud hum of the in-suite refrigerator, so much so I had to wear my ear plugs all night. Compared to other hotel prices in town it was good value for money.

Nice place to stay, would go again. Just wish they would keep thier pool warmer in the colder months. As well the sauna didnt work for us. The room heater would constantly turn on and off for VERY short periods and be very loud. As well the room bathrooms need better lighting, very dark in there. The rooms were good and well equipped and the whole building was very clean.

Service

Staff are frequently praised as friendly, accommodating, and efficient, though periods of understaffing and a request-only approach to housekeeping lead to slow responses or missed service, and some check‑in experiences were disorganized.

We came into Stratford at the Quality Inn Festival Conference Centre from October 22 to 24. Upon arriving we were asked to review and sign a checklist one of which was to ask if we wanted our room cleaned daily for which I checked off yes and signed. On the 23rd in the late afternoon our room had yet to be cleaned. I called the front desk who told me they had a bus come in and forgot so they would send someone right away. Nobody came. I went to the front desk an hour later to be told they had a big bus from Quebec City come in and they forgot to clean our room. The best thing they could do would be to offer her us another room which meant we would have to move all our already unpacked belongings or they said they could give us fresh towels. I did not feel like a valued customer. I had to contact the front desk twice and they forgot to send the maid. I was very disappointed with the way they handled the situation. I would not stay there again. The hotel is very dated and smells musty. They have plastic cups in the rooms. The rooms are not expensive to stay in and I guess you get what you pay for. I would stay away from this hotel that doesn’t seem to care about customers that are not part of a group tour.

I had 4 rooms for 4 days over the weekend to go snowmobling with friends. The hotel is great for snowmobiling. It has easy access to the trails and lots of places to load/unload your sled from a truck. The rooms are outdated but large with lots of space to hang out after we returned each day. I called before I booked online, to make sure they had a pool and sauna. They do. They did, however, neglect to tell me that it was closed, along with the restaurant/bar. The room was clean when we checked in, but there was no cleaning service after that. That's okay but the room only came with two bath towels. That's a long time for no clean towels. Twice, I went to the front desk to request towels but no one was there. I think the hotel is geared to summer, when the plays are on. In short, if want bare bones, just to get to the trails, it works well. If your are expectng more, in winter, you will be disappointed.

The property is outdated. Keys did not work initially. Check in clerk initially stated I did not have two rooms booked which was incorrect. I presented my drivers license and visa upon request and she insisted my visa was a debit card and not a visa (again untrue). Very unimpressed with the propound the staff. Will not return.

Quality Inn was perfect for our stay. It was very clean, spacious and easy to access from the parking lot. The beds were very comfortable and had lots of pillows. The Inn was just a 6 minute drive to the Stratford Theater for our play and the Avon River gor our Dragon Boat Race the next day. Shopping and dinning were either across the road, next door or a few minutes down the road. We will be back next year!

Good location, easy access on way in to Stratford. Very comfortable, spacious room. Great beds. Two Queens with plenty of nice pillows and good covers. Shower needed a shelf for soap and shampoo. Towels were rather old and rough. The sink was plugged. The restaurant is a separate business from the hotel. Breakfast was not the best. Would not reccommend.

The rooms were ok, but the air conditioning in one of the 3 we rented for our family was very loud. We had to shut it off to be able to sleep. There was also a very loud drinking party going on one of the nights. We called staff to complain. We would have also liked to have a restaurant. This was closed which was inconvenient.

The property is definitely past is peek, but it still shows its former upscale bones. Rooms are decently updated and the pricing was fair. Only real gripe was that there was zero breakfast option, which seems crazy in this day and age. Also, our room windows were right by one of the rear entrances, which proved to be a real annoyance as it was an area where people congregated to smoke cigarettes and talk loudly, in one case at 1:30am waking us up. Given the hotel was not full, I would suggest to the hotel staff not to put guests in that room unless they have no other options.

They should make it clearly known that the restaurant on site serves Indian food, not what is usually expected. Even breakfast was poor ...no bacon or sausage available, burned eggs, undrinkable coffee. And expensive. No clean towels at poolside. Will not be recommending this place. 😔
