We were shocked to find that much of the hotel was covered in scaffolding, making it hard to find the hotel at dusk. We did find it, with the help of a local passer-by. Once inside, the refurbishment project was not very evident, and it was quite comfortable and nice. We enjoyed having a triple room, where our daughter had her own bed instead of a sofa-sleeper. The included breakfast was good, with made-to-order eggs. Location was very convenient, a short walk to train station and restaurants and shops in central Stratford-upon-Avon. All in all, it is a good hotel, and I'm sure it will be better when their project is done.
