I would have liked earlier weekend breakfast (even if it was just some baked goods/fruit) and maybe a discount in the restaurant for being a guest, Lovely and helpful staff, very clean rooms

Very accommodating to ensure we were able to check in on Christmas Day. However, since there was no one physically there we were charged for parking although it wasn’t used. Check out times are very strict, someone knocked on our door right at the door 11 AM. Great location and extremely convenient.

This is lovely place right in the heart of downtown Stratford. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic. It is in the middle of the downtown shopping district and close to the Stratford Avon Theatre. One caveat is there are only stairs but we expected that.

PROS: Great, clean, airy room that is centrally located in downtown Stratford. It is near shopping, restaurants and The Avon Theatre. CONS: lots of stairs - if you need a room with 2 beds, it's on the 3rd floor. No regular TV in the room, had to stream from IPAD,/Phone, don't know if that's normal or if cable was not functional. Small front desk inside restaurant downstairs is unstaffed overnight.

I am pleased to read you enjoyed your overall stay with us! I agree its convenient being able to walk downtown and visit all the wonderful shops and restaurants without driving. I am sorry to hear you had trouble with the television, that’s odd because we do have cable and casting. Our tv remote allows you to switch to and from allowing guest to watch their favorite tv/ movies on Netflix’s along with cable. I hope this doesn’t hinder your overall stay with us and would love to welcome you back another time!

Great place in the centre of Stratford. Room was nice, staff great. No issues. Only thing I would warn about is that is all stairs to the rooms, no elevators. We were on the floor immediately above the restaurant, its 3 flights of stairs from the parking entrance. So if stairs are an issue for you this is not the place for you. We however thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely historic property conveniently located in the centre of Stratford. The staff were amazing from the moment we checked in to the time we left. No elevators but we knew that we when booked. Rooms were spacious but need to be refurbished especially the outdated bathrooms. No usb ports for charging. Beds were really comfortable. One big downside was the room needed a good cleaning especially the floors. There were hair balls in corners and hair stuck on shower curtain and other items but really the staff, location and restaurant (which is amazing) made us overlook the negative.

I am pleased to hear our staff took great care of you and that you enjoyed our downtown location! I am disappointed to hear that the room was up to your typical cleanliness standard, that’s not acceptable and I apologize for that. We are very interested in some upgrades in the furnishing and amenities in the guest rooms and hope to complete that this winter. Once again, thank you for the review and we hope to see you again. If I can be of any assistance, please reach out to me so I can assist you 519-271-920.

Good location for walking to theaters. In the very center of town, with easy access to restaurants and stores. Not a hotel for people unable to walk stairs or not carry luggage up down, as no elevator. My only dislike was the coffee maker which was expresso, not regular brew. Staff was very friendly. When arriving at hotel park in rear and enter building from back service door. Wind around stairs to first floor where you will locate check in desk across from restaurant bar.

Hi Patricia,Sounds like you enjoyed your time in Stratford with the theatre, our location and customer service. Sorry to hear Nespresso isn't your coffee of choice, on the main floor our restaurant is happy able to serve you regular coffee instead weekdays 8AM-11AM and weekends 9AM-11AM. I appreciate all detail in leaving a thoughtful review and we would love to welcome you back anytime!

Mercer is situated right downtown in Stratford. It is a great location. The staff are all terrific, very accommodating, friendly and helpful. The restaurant is great, good food, good service.
