Clean room and good breakfast options. King bed was small king, very lumpy and the comforter shifted down to the bottom of the cover and therefore slid off the foot of the bed. The room was so small we could barely walk around.

The best thing about the property was at location to downtown Ashland, Lithia, Park and Theatre and restaurants. I grew up in Ashland, so I was very familiar with hotel and I know it’s been at this location for several decades. The room was clean and updated. The one thing that was a little bit weird in the room was the bed quilt, which was a nylon fabric that was so slippery, It just slid off of the bed during the night and was hard to navigate.

The Bard's Inn is a very clean, comfortable and convenient stay in Ashland. It is a short walk away from lots of restaurants and shops as well as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival theaters. The staff was very accommodating -- I was able to get in my room early and arrange housekeeping around my schedule. The breakfast and pool are great.

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.
