Dated and noisy
Reception staff was excellent. Our room was located on the bottom floor and the walls were paper thin. We could hear the people in the room next to us sneezing and the people upstairs sounded like they were stomping but it was likely just thin building materials. AC unit was dated and noisy. Not a hotel it was a motel. Included breakfast was fit for a camping trip for small children, not humans who eat food. Would not stay again.

We stay at the Bards inn almost exclusively when we come to Ashland(3-4 time a year). The property is located a short 3 min walk to downtown area and theaters. This was the 1st time we had a bed that was not very comfortable and we could at times hear the people around us. The staff are wonderful and the location is great. We will be back again.

We’ve stayed in Ashland many times over the last several years and never tried out Bards. Well this place must have been great 20 years ago. Now the wallpaper is peeling, the air conditioner sputters in and out of life, and the wall where the fridge and tv were plugged in just lost power for no apparent reason, never to come back on. The beds were uncomfortable and hard to sleep on. This was a motel charging for upscale hotel prices just because it had (poorly displayed) Shakespeare “art” plastered everywhere. The whole place came off as old, cheesy, and unkempt. Avoid this place and stay at Ashland Springs for a much better old style hotel feel; this one was trying too hard and failed. Never again.

The wallpaper was peeling off the walls. One chair was missing a foot. The AC was terrible. No glasses or real mugs. Dated. For the price I was expecting much more. The gentleman behind the desk was very nice.

Perfect location close to town. I parked my car on arrival and walked everywhere. The kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Breakfast was good with a lot of standard options. If you want great coffee walk to town to Mix. The housekeeping staff was amazing and kept the property and rooms tidy. The AC worked really well. I’d definitely stay again.

This is a nice location to stay to explore downtown Ashland and to be your base for attending plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival complex; it's about a 7-minute walk. It is also convenient to many restaurant choices and other downtown activities. As a property, it is a pretty typical Best Western experience, average quality rooms, lousy cheap breakfast and plastic cups in the rooms...no glassware. The plastic cup use has to go for environmental reasons, and...guests should never have to drink their beverages out of a plastic cup wrapped in plastic film. At the prices BW is charging, they need to bring back re-usable decent quality glassware.
