Foster’s Inn is at 111 Downie Street in the heart of Stratford, about a two-minute walk from the Avon Theatre. It has a restaurant and bar, room service, a concierge, an elevator and free Wi-Fi. Rooms include signature rooms with a king or queen bed, superior rooms with two queens and deluxe rooms with a sofa bed, all with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and designer toiletries, and some have been recently renovated. Guests praise the friendly staff, the clean rooms, the central location and the steakhouse-style restaurant and its breakfast and brunch.
Location and getting around
The inn is practically next door to the Avon Theatre, and the Festival Theatre is about 16 minutes on foot. City Hall, Festival Square and the Stratford Farmers Market are close, several restaurants are within one to five minutes, and the railway station is around ten minutes away. It is a good choice if you are going to see shows on foot, because almost everything is in walking distance.
The rooms and the feel
The building is a Victorian one, so rooms are high-ceilinged and vary in size, and a lift helps in an older property. Signature rooms suit couples, and the deluxe rooms with a sofa bed give a family of four more space. Some guests report a noisy hallway, so ask for a quieter room if you are a light sleeper. A full breakfast is available for a surcharge, so confirm what your rate includes, and note that the restaurant has limited vegetarian options.
Who it suits and what to know: choose it for theatre-goers who want to be right by the Avon and do not mind a trade-off on parking. There is no on-site parking, so use the free public lot a few blocks away or street parking, and check the current rule before you arrive. Check-in is from 1 pm to 11 pm and check-out is at 11 am. Dogs are welcome for a fee per stay. Rates can be low in the quiet months and rise steeply on busy dates, so compare dates before you book.
