The staff is truly exceptional, as is the location and suitability for theatre goers. This is an older hotel in some ways but we found it charming. Several steps or stairs in unusual places but so many smiles and kind words. Very nice breakfast and pre-dinner meals. Champagne cold and well-served. We have been to Stratford 6-7 times over the last decade and will always come here now.
