Reserved a room here because it was close to the Festival Theater, where all of the plays I was seeing over the weekend were going to be. I had never been to Stratford before, so wanted someplace close enough that I could walk everywhere. I had a room on the lower level which had a backdoor to the outside, and... More

I have spent time in Stratford in the past and always stayed at the B&B. This year we thought that we would try one of the Hotels in the area. We researched and we chose the River Garden Inn. I had called a couple of days ahead and asked for an early check in because we had a 2:00 Showtime.... More

The person at the front desk told me the hotel has recently had extensive renovations. Everything appeared newer throughout. there was WiFi in two public spaces, but the staff gave me an ethernet cable for in room access. The main lobby was impeccably clean as were the rooms and public spaces. the hallways were somewhat less clean. I found the... More

Terrible parking, unless you got one of the 20 or so spots out front (which could still be quite a walk from your room), otherwise, you're across the street and up several stairs. Pool area was clean and nice (though shower area was a little sketchy), but water was WAY too warm (health concerns). Outdoor terrace area outside pool area... More

On arrival, we found the "newly renovated" hotel pleasant: nice room, lovely clean porch, friendly staff. After our first pre-theatre shower, we notified the front desk that the drain didn't work and were assured that the maintenance department would fix it. Day two - same scenario: no drain, but more assurances. Day three, we were standing ankle-deep in water and... More

If you've nowhere else to stay, this just do. But it's a charmless forty year old building just north of the Stratford Art Gallery, with not much else to recommend it. You'll drive for any theatre and there's no food except the buffet breakfast.

Our room was nice and we were able to check in early. Our friends checked in later and their room was not ready, it was quite small and faced the parking lot. It was nice being able to walk to the Festival Theater, but we prefer being close to town and walking distance to the shopping area as well as... More

I stayed at the River Garden recently for a wedding. In terms of the event itself, the Reception hall is superb. The staff and service, food and drinks were top notch. If you happen to be looking for a hall, it's a great choice. The service was held at the Hotel as well in a separate room, however it was... More
