This is the second time I've stayed here. It is very basic. Pretty much a bed and bathroom. But it is clean, quiet, relatively inexpensive and convenient to downtown Stratford.

Shabby. Was not told at checkin that cleaning had to be requested. Then I was grilled about what level of cleaning I wanted (just towel change and empty the one tiny wastebasket or a full cleaning. The shower had great water pressure.

On the positive side, my bed was very comfortable! But for the carpet with a couple of stains, the room was clean. The shower was a walk-in so that was a plus also but a grab bar beside the toilet for people who need help with accessibility should be something management should highly take in to consideration. Getting into the room was a bit of a challenge, I have mobility issues so it was a big step to get up and in. The real issue was when you took that first step into the room there was a big soft spot in the floor. Except for the bathroom area, the carpeted floor was uneven when walking, felt spongey. We felt as if we might go through in certain areas. Where our room was located, the driveway had a huge pot hole. So if you arrived in the evening you would surely go into as it is pretty much in the middle of the road and could cause damage to your car.

Good value
Decent room for the price. Motel rooms are not as nice as the Quality Inn that is part of same property. But they are quieter due to being single story walkout, so no hallway noise.

Both this property and the adjacent Quality Inn & Conference Centre are disasters. There's no signage for the Festival Courtyard Inn, and we drove around the pothole-filled parking lot looking for the reception area. We finally found what looked like an office for the Conference Centre and were told that we could check in there, but were warned that both the restaurant and the bar were "temporarily" closed. When we got to our room, we were shocked by the condition of the windows, which needed a lot more than a new coat of paint - more like total replacement, as the wood was obviously rotting. Inside, the room was a huge disappointment, looking NOTHING like any of the rooms displayed online. The only furniture was the bed, one night table, and a dresser, but there was a huge empty space by the window. The bedspread was badly stained, as were the threadbare towels. The 2 soaps that were provided were more like tokens than bars. The bathroom mirror (the only mirror in the room) had water and, um, other marks all over it, and there was a big handprint clearly visible on the TV screen. I understand that the Conference Centre is being "renovated" - there were signs of construction activity here and there - but it appeared to me that it would be faster and easier just to demolish the entire property and rebuild. The once-proud Festival Inn, where I stayed many times in better times, is now a sad eyesore, and I would never spend another night at the Festival Courtyard Inn.

Festival Court Review
The signage for the office was nonexistent so we drove around the building to try to find it. In order to get into our room, we had to walk around a huge weed that was jutting out into the sidewalk. The bathroom door could not close. There was no recycling container. The shower door needed cleaning. On the positive side, the beds were comfortable and the fridge and coffeemaker were very good! We were happy to see and use the USB port.

Room is very musty. Need to air it out / get rid of carpet. No heater in bed area can’t open front window. Bathroom had been upgraded. So looks like they’re working on things. No staff in the front area (sign said away for 10 minutes but not what time they left) but computers were on and paperwork left out in the open . Not good for privacy. Then both staff came back same time well after ten minutes.

We stayed a whole week but did not get any room service until we complained 2 days in a row (that was the 4th and 5th day). We kept getting promises of clean towels/linens but nothing happened until the morning of the 6th day. The setting was quiet. We do not plan to use this facility again due to the lack of response on the part of the staff and condition of the facility.
