We stayed at the Avonlea Inn for a Stratford Festival weekend. The room was clean and spacious, and the location was great (about 5 minutes from the Avon Theatre and 5 minutes from the 24-hour Cooper Lot). Check in was easy and convenient.

We had a lovely stay. Perfect location for restaurants, shopping and the theaters. Our room was two stories up, which could be difficult and tiring because of the stairs. But it was also very quiet. Thanks for a great stay.

Perfect location. Modern updated bathroom. Plenty of bathroom towels& toiletries. A written instruction guide for use of tv & ac would have been helpful as could not figure out either one. Access to rooms is via steep stairs so definitely NOT for anyone who has mobility issues. .

Comfy, homey, great coffee in room. Having real cream and sugar available was a nice touch. Outside security light on the Fritz was blinking most of the night.

The location was excellent and the room was large, a king size bed would have been better in that space. It was a tough hike up 2 flights of stairs with our bags.The codes to the place and the room were a bit confusing until I figured out what button to press after.
The room was cold, heat didn’t work and there was no soap in the shower. But we had a great time in Stratford

Do not stay there! Access is via carpeted stairwell which is in dirty and deteriorated condition requiring sanding painting and new baseboards. Room is carpeted which is very old, stained and dirty ! No staff on site, security code access to building and the room. Avoid this place.

Other than the steep stairwell with carpet that does not allow much footing traction all was very good.

Lovely spacious room, well appointed with fridge and microwave and a few dishes. Accessible tv but no cable news channels other than clips through YouTube, or at least what we could figure out. Excellent location near restaurants and close to Avon Theatre. Limited help as there is no on site front desk person to for sure assist in an immediate sense, especially at night. My room did not have adequate working blinds to block out the light. However, I liked my room a lot. It was quiet and felt private. It was generally well supplied and had a nice bathroom with walk in shower that worked. It was aesthetically pleasing.

This location is in the centre of the city and made it easy to get to all the events I was in town for. I didn't realize there was no physical reception, but the owners were very communicative and made it very easy to check-in. The room was nice and prepared/neat, though the trash hadn't been taken out, and there were some stains on one of the walls. But otherwise everything else was great, it was comfortable. Quiet during the evening, and many great food locations nearby.

Best characteristic is the prime location. But no on site parking. The carpet is utterly disgusting and needs replacing. Get vinyl planks. The kitchenette is handy, bathroom is nice. TV is in a useless location. Add a chair or loveseat and a small table. Brighten up the place with some light paint. The staircase is dangerously sloped and long and handrail is wobbly. We liked the easy keyless entry. Not a room to relax in at all. Get some better bedding. People don’t want dorm room bedding.

Had to hand carry luggage up 20 steep steps to room facing a noisy street with bright streetlights shining in and no blinds to block out the light. No one on site to help. A call the first night to ask for blinds to be pulled down was not answered. Second call next day was answered and resulted in the pull down of high blinds in 2 of 3 windows. Told a work order would be submitted to install blinds in 3rd window but wouldnt be fixed during our stay. This is not an inn but more a makeshift airbnb with just a couple of rooms.
