Very disappointed in the quality of the hotel considering the price per night. The toilet was black and had looked like it had never been cleaned. The water was leaking in the bathroom so the floor was constantly wet. The entire room smelt like mold and cigarettes. There were dead flies all over the room. The door frame looked like it had been kicked in before so the door didn’t close properly creating an unsafe environment. Stay away and find somewhere else.

The place is in a bit of chaos. It's unclear where the Quality Inn ends and Festival In begins. The rooms are motel style. The bathroom is newly renovated. Otherwise everything is old and seriously run down. The floor has soft spots and holes under the worn out cigarette burned carpet.

No expectations - but they have a pool
When you can find a hotel room for under one hundred dollars, we came with no expectations. We came for the theatre and just needed a place to sleep before travelling home. It wasn't fancy. We found out the next day there is an indoor pool we could have used, but that was not on the list of amenities.

This facility is very dated. The rooms were clean but very basic. Carpets stained in places and towels well worth although fresh. There was no hair dryer in the room. I was given one when I asked.

We were coming into Stratford for theatre and had booked 2 nights at this hotel. The first room we were given looked like the door had been pried open with a crowbar, paint was peeling from every area of the exterior and the grass was not cut. We entered the room and were BLASTED with the smell of cigarette smoke and air freshener. There were multiple burn holes in the carpet the size of toonies. We went to the front desk and asked for another room. The staff was friendly and tried to be helpful. The second room we were given smelled heavily of air freshener and I had a headache from it in less than 10 mins. The bathroom had no soap, no shampoo and 1 towel. The shower head was held on with orange duct tape and water was leaking around the tape. The bed had 3 pillows, there were rust marks all over the musty smelling carpet where furniture had been moved. The window had a sticky cling film on it, I am guessing for privacy, and again, the door also looked like it had been pried open. Again, we went to the front desk to get a different room and they had nothing appropriate available. We asked for a refund because the room was not habitable. They gave us the funds back for one night, but the charges for the first night stayed because the window to cancel the reservation had lapsed. The reviews on this hotel on the site said 7/10 and we had stayed here in the past and been happy. The hotel has clearly gone through some ownership change and it now resembles more of a flophouse.

The property has changed a lot since the last time I stayed, a number of years ago. The first door key I was given did not work and there were some plumbing issues with the toilet so it would continue to fill and make noise well after use. It became quite loud and thankfully it stopped into the evening. I was informed to look for signage noting the Festival courtyard Inn since the lot shared space with the Quality Inn, but there was no signage I could see for the Festival. Check in was tricky because of this.

called hotel that doesnt even have a sign to indicate where it is. The rooms were clean but looked like a dive because of stained and torn wall paper, broken trim around the door lock and a look that I can only describe as cheap old motel furniture thrown at random into a room. I would not recommend this as a nice place to stay.

Beds were clean and comfortable but carpet is old and outdated and room kinda smelled musty a bit. In a quiet area but Nobody was in the office where the sign says Festival Courtyard Inn Office. Had to check-in next door at the Quality Inn. They should have a notice on the Festival office door for this. Good enough for a cheaper price.
