We really enjoyed our first stay at The Foster's Inn. I
The location was perfect to enjoy all of Stratford's shopping and theatre area. Our room was spotless and spacious - perfect for a weekend getaway.
We had 2 delicious breakfasts at the restaurant - and Suzy, our server, was warm, friendly and stellar with all customers. Would certainly return again!

Keeping in mind this is a boutique hotel, which to us means different or unique, this hotel is excellent. You enter into the restaurant which also is the front desk, so we had to wait for service and it was of course busy. That said, it's a unique experience. The room was great, clean, and comfortable. Easy access, and the area around the hotel has many food options and is walkable to many places in Stratford. Would highly recommend this as a nice little place, that is not your typical hotel, to stay.

It was a quick one night stay for a competition. The staff were very nice. The room is spacious. However, we found ants all over the sink in bathroom. There was also a couple ants crawling on table when we had dinner downstairs. Parking is available for free about a block away.

Excellent dinner menu with very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was not included, just a free mimosa, coffee or juice. The fact that it’s steps away from the theatre was a bonus.

Loved the room as it was spacious, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Had dinner on the patio - great wine selection and the food was delicious. Staff are very friendly, helpful and efficient. I would highly recommend having breakfast, lunch or dinner there as well as an overnight stay. Parking is close and it is right down the street from the Avon Theatre.
