Check in was smooth. Getting to room through bar is a bit of a challenge. Narrow space to get through with luggage. Room itself very clean and unique. Our room didn't have hot water unsure if that's common or was a fluke. Parking is not as close as described. Would not work for anyone with mobility issues. Overall it is a very nice, clean place to stay.

Yet another great stay at Foster's. Definitely my favourite place to stay in Stratford. The staff greeted me like a long lost friend and made me feel right at home. Every trip they seem to add an extra minor improvement to enhance the room and experience. Very comfortable, sparkling clean and quiet.

The location is prime, practically next door to the Avon Theater. Our room was large with a beautiful updated bathroom… a good elevator which is nice for an older Victorian building and not always the case. The restaurant is quaint and had a nice choice for their breakfast/brunch menu and it was well prepared. I would recommend this place.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our stay in Stratford was fine at the Foster’s Inn. The staff at the desk were helpful and the property was located close to the theaters. Although the hotel is someone basic, the rooms were clean and it looked like the bathroom had been redone within the last few years. There’s also free parking about a three or four minute walk away. The only downside is the cost. We paid what I would expect to pay in a quality hotel in downtown Toronto - $411 for one night (including taxes). For quite a basic hotel, which is somewhat in need of upgrades, I think it is overpriced. But all in all, a good stay.

- Great staff. - Restaurant was also very good with fair pricing - Rooms where clean and well maintained - Bathrooms very immaculate, not a single speck of grime to be found, also very modern - Great central location, half a block from the Avon theatre - No parking on site, there is parallel municipal street parking but at a cost, free municipal public parking lot a few blocks away, the walk is quite nice as you get to walk through the neighborhood.

Great place to stay and great food,the staff is awesome and helpful. The only one thing is when booking a room it states breakfast is included which is of course a seller but it was not and only offered a free mimosa, very misleading. I would recommend this place to my family and friends.

The Inn is not an Inn , simply rooms over a restaurant, That said, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. And the staff kind and helpful. The unfortunate experience was the price, $491 for a room that sold for $161 plus tax the next night, more in line with the facility. Only a room.
