The Bard is always a great option for lodging when attending the OSF. It’s a five minute walk to all of the theatres, the area supports good food and shopping plus Lithia Park has a nice trail for a morning hike/stroll. I’ve stayed at the Bard a number of times and would choose it again in a heartbeat.

I really appreciated the free electric car charging stations. However, there were only two and there was demand for at least 4 or more. Also, there were not enough parking spots outside our room. It would be good to have had more information on where we could park if the lot was full. however, staff was great.

The room in the main building was quiet, small but comfortable, and equipped with all the basic amenities. An older and heavily used hotel that is a bit tired, the Bard's Inn provides acceptable and much more affordable accommodations conveniently within easy walking distance to downtown Ashland. All the usual Best Western amenities are--sort of--available. At the Expedia rate, we were content with our stay.

I really like the location of the Bard's Inn. It is very close to the main square in Ashland and all the restaurants and the theatre. That is the strongest point of the hotel, in my opinion. They have two chargers for electric cars, but there is no monitoring and non-electric cars park there, which is not good if you're trying to get a charge. It is nice that they offer breakfast, which is super basic, but yes, it's something... My room was the very basic one, with a king size bed and it was very clean and comfortable. With all that said, I paid $1,000 for 4 nights. I don't think the room I stayed in was worth that much. Yes, Ashland is sought after, specially at this time of the year, but again, $250/night for a very basic room is too much in my opinion.
