Great value for money balancing service and facilities with costs.
Pros:

Warm friendly greeting on arrival. Reception checked and found room ready and allowed us access an hour early. Our experience was excellent in all areas and the staff's friendly and willingness to help admirable and a credit to the managers organisation. Having stayed at most of the hotels in the Stratford area this once ranks a first place.

Cons:

Better toilet facilities in reception/bar area.

Good Location
Pros:

Clean, comfortable and air conditioned. Friendly staff and good breakfast selection.

Cons:

The price! I do not understand why hotels need to hike their prices up just because there is a show going on. I'm sure the hotel will be full regardless.
