Despite the name, this is not an inn. It's two rooms for rent above a restaurant. There are no "staff". The owner is available through messaging. The location is fabulous. I strongly encourage anyone thinking of booking to read the 1* reviews before proceeding.

We had a lovely stay. Perfect location for restaurants, shopping and the theaters. Our room was two stories up, which could be difficult and tiring because of the stairs. But it was also very quiet. Thanks for a great stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
1) Didn't recieve the access codes until I was in Canada, which made it difficult to open - could have been sent earlier in the day 2) Parking was not 150 yards away, it was a quarter mile to a dimly lit lot; the walk there and back included an old asphalt uphill path with weed clumps, potholes, trip hazards. No place to temporarily load/unload near the entrance except to block traffic 3) The rain caused the marble entrance to be extremely slick, both my wife and I slipped while entering 4) Very steep and shallow stairs up to the third floor 5) Carpeting in the stairwell was disgusting, dirty, stained 6) Three windows, two with shades that only pulled up part way and one shade missing 7) Two dining chair seats were ridiculously filthy and stained, we would not sit on them 8) No shelves or hooks in the bath except one on the back of the door, no place to hang or set a toiletry bag 9) No hand towels 10) No toilet paper holder, toilet paper just sitting on the tank - had to reach around, try not fall off to access it 11) Cheap and sparce furnishings, no thow rugs, cofee table, clock, minimum spent on making it look welcoming 12) HVAC difficult to adjust - didn't know if bumping the temp up or down was working because it so long to notice a difference 13) Definitely different than the photos - what should have been an inviting place, and presented as a boutique upscale (and not inexpensive) space was bland and soul-less, like somebody threw some furniture in a garage or basement

Best characteristic is the prime location. But no on site parking. The carpet is utterly disgusting and needs replacing. Get vinyl planks. The kitchenette is handy, bathroom is nice. TV is in a useless location. Add a chair or loveseat and a small table. Brighten up the place with some light paint. The staircase is dangerously sloped and long and handrail is wobbly. We liked the easy keyless entry. Not a room to relax in at all. Get some better bedding. People don’t want dorm room bedding.

Had to hand carry luggage up 20 steep steps to room facing a noisy street with bright streetlights shining in and no blinds to block out the light. No one on site to help. A call the first night to ask for blinds to be pulled down was not answered. Second call next day was answered and resulted in the pull down of high blinds in 2 of 3 windows. Told a work order would be submitted to install blinds in 3rd window but wouldnt be fixed during our stay. This is not an inn but more a makeshift airbnb with just a couple of rooms.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Avonlea location was excellent and the room was OK. I have never written a negative review before but felt that we did not get very good service or value at the Avonlea! The entrance staircase was disgusting because the carpeting on the staircase was dirty and soiled. The TV did not work and the support staff said they would fix the TV but never showed up. Funny because I read the same in other reviews of the property. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this business to anyone!

The room was very nice. The parking was awful.it was recommended to use the free parking but it was very far when travelling with suitcases. If you are not good with stairs then that might be an issue as well. If not for the parking and stairs I would rate this property higher.

The Avonlea is a charming and comfortable inn situated in the heart of Stratford -- perfect for enjoying the theaters, food, shopping, and everything else the town has to offer. Our room was well appointed, clean, quiet, and roomy. Although parking is not available, the host will gladly recommend nearby lots that are an easy walk from the inn. We enjoyed our stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Excellent location to walk around and enjoy the wonderful city of Stratford. Room is comfortable, well stocked and clean. Detail instructions to check-in/out. Beware of the following conditions for 3rd floor unit: 1) smoke smell is noticeable in room and permeates to any clothes taken out of luggage even in short stays. 2) two sets of stairs to reach 3rd floor can be challenging with mobility issues or heavy luggage 3) No front desk or storage room to keep luggage on early check-in or late check-out. It works like an Airbnb, not a hotel. We are thankful for the early check-in granted (not always feasible) and the recommendation to check if a nearby hotel can store luggage (not alwways feasible). 4) No water for about 1/2 hour at 9:00 am. We texted when started and when it came back but did not get any info back.

This is low quality; definitely not an Inn. the room had a musty smell and in mid season expecting guests, it was hot and musty with no air conditioner running, it was a struggle to get the windows open to air it out, the rooms are accessed by dingy dirty steep staircase, no place to park in front and had to carry luggage from down the street, overnight parking is 4 blocks away. the furniture is sparse cheap college dorm quality. the bed fell apart when i tried to move it over and linens were cheap. kitchen had knives, plates, forks but no cooking utensils.
