Older building with not quite enough parking.. Soundproofing between rooms and floor above not up to today's standards. Airi conditioner very noisy. Location is good to old town. Perhaps $50.00 a night more expensive than I would expect.

Of course, this property is rightly known for it's location a few minutes walk from Lithia Park and the Shakespeare Festival. The staff is friendly & the rooms are clean & comfortable. But the parking is tight, the included breakfast is fair at best, and the rooms are expensive on the weekend. There were far cheaper options elsewhere in Ashland. And I understand this is high season. Most importantly, having a disabled son in a wheelchair was more than unfortunate for this stay, no elevator, no ramp access to the breakfast room, only a steep set of stairs. Not sure why ADA compliance was not necessary in bringing the property to code.

Though it’s not the newest property, (we stayed in the original building) it’s been upgraded and well maintained. This is a prime location if you’re attending OSF and have ever parked on a back street far, far away. No fee for parking, thank you. Affordable. Nice staff. Clean. Above average breakfast ( it’s says Continental, but there are eggs and a pancake machine!) A/C works and the fan creates a moderate white noise for sleep, which we appreciate.

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.
