5.0 / 10.0
Comfortable hotel walking distance to the theater
3.0 / 10.0
The hotel folks were friendly and The Bard is centrally located--both pluses. But the rooms are basic and more than a bit down-at-the-heels. Definitely not worth >$200/night, even for Ashland.

This property is pretty tired and down at the mouth but the staff were exceptionally helpful.

Room was dirty, smelled like someone had pored bottle wine on the floor. Bed, linens, drapes old and worn

Conveniently close to the OSF. Room was very tight, not enough counter space. Continental breakfast was nice.

I would stop sending these pathetic requests for more information. I chose to submit without descriptive statement . Take it or leave it.

The duvet bedding regularly slipped off the bed at night, waking me up. Finally, on my fifth day, a housekeeper pointed out that plastic bags in a drawer labeled “pillows” were really blankets. Much better.

Reception staff was excellent. Our room was located on the bottom floor and the walls were paper thin. We could hear the people in the room next to us sneezing and the people upstairs sounded like they were stomping but it was likely just thin building materials. AC unit was dated and noisy. Not a hotel it was a motel. Included breakfast was fit for a camping trip for small children, not humans who eat food. Would not stay again.

My only complaint was the beds, there was a definite slope on both beds. Also we weren’t there for TV, but had a hard time operating it. Could need chsnge of batteries

We stay at the Bards inn almost exclusively when we come to Ashland(3-4 time a year). The property is located a short 3 min walk to downtown area and theaters. This was the 1st time we had a bed that was not very comfortable and we could at times hear the people around us. The staff are wonderful and the location is great. We will be back again.
4.0 / 10.0
We’ve stayed in Ashland many times over the last several years and never tried out Bards. Well this place must have been great 20 years ago. Now the wallpaper is peeling, the air conditioner sputters in and out of life, and the wall where the fridge and tv were plugged in just lost power for no apparent reason, never to come back on. The beds were uncomfortable and hard to sleep on. This was a motel charging for upscale hotel prices just because it had (poorly displayed) Shakespeare “art” plastered everywhere. The whole place came off as old, cheesy, and unkempt. Avoid this place and stay at Ashland Springs for a much better old style hotel feel; this one was trying too hard and failed. Never again.

Very convenient, walking distance to the plays.
2.0 / 10.0
The wallpaper was peeling off the walls. One chair was missing a foot. The AC was terrible. No glasses or real mugs. Dated. For the price I was expecting much more. The gentleman behind the desk was very nice.
5.0 / 10.0
Perfect location close to town. I parked my car on arrival and walked everywhere. The kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Breakfast was good with a lot of standard options. If you want great coffee walk to town to Mix. The housekeeping staff was amazing and kept the property and rooms tidy. The AC worked really well. I’d definitely stay again.

8.0 / 10.0
This is a nice location to stay to explore downtown Ashland and to be your base for attending plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival complex; it's about a 7-minute walk. It is also convenient to many restaurant choices and other downtown activities. As a property, it is a pretty typical Best Western experience, average quality rooms, lousy cheap breakfast and plastic cups in the rooms...no glassware. The plastic cup use has to go for environmental reasons, and...guests should never have to drink their beverages out of a plastic cup wrapped in plastic film. At the prices BW is charging, they need to bring back re-usable decent quality glassware.

Close yet quiet
4.0 / 10.0
For the price we paid, the beds were awful. Felt like sleeping in a crater, the dip in the mattress was so bad next to the nightstand. I eventually rolled to the other side and the crater wasn’t bad there. Terrible night sleep. The balcony on the suite has one plastic chair and an ashtray. Why would you encourage guests to smoke right by everyone’s room? The pool was also very poorly filtered. Lots of debris.
The location is nice, the room was clean, the breakfast was fine. Staff was nice. I told them about the beds in our room at the front desk. Maybe it was just our room? They said sorry and made a note of it.
Overall, it’s a skip for us next time we’re in Ashland.

Great location. Unfortunately, I could hear the people walking around all night in the unit above mine. Consider requesting a top floor unit.

Beautiful stay.
4.0 / 10.0
Room was very nice but shower did not drain. Waited for repair which apparently was not possible and was forced to move to a different room, which was not comparable to first room. Forced to pay the full amount and was told Expedia would handle the promised discount - a complete mistruth. Spent our vacation holding them accountable by going back and forth between hotel and Expedia. Finally got the promised discount.

After driving 5 hours and arriving in triple digit heat I was checking in. I asked if I could charge my car at recharge station which is up against a wall. I parked and plugged in. The person from the front desk asked me to move my car even closer to the wall so others could park. There was plenty of room on the other side of my car to park. They also said I said my own name wrong when checking in. The person I was with said I did not say my name incorrectly. I know it’s kind of petty, but it just wasn’t very welcoming especially when you’re spending nearly $300/night.
8.0 / 10.0
I stay here often when passing through Ashland. The location is perfect for waking to downtown. The rooms are nothing special but totally fine. The pool is tiny and close to the road but my kids still like that’s it’s an option. Basic breakfast is free. Mostly it’s the amazing location- a few steps from tons of great restaurants and Lithia Park- that makes this place a gem.

Location wins, staff was helpful. Very dated, and costly considering.
