The buildings are old and floors are a bit creaky, but the rooms were a good size, clean, very convenient and well-located just across the street from thr RSC Theater and an easy walk to all the Stratford-upon-Avon tourist sites and shopping. There's also a private parking lot. The breakfast is also very good. This is our 2nd time staying here for a visit to Shakespeare's Birthplace.

Surprising high class hotel compered with the reasonably priced stay.
The best was the room air conditioning, when it was 34°c outside.
