Stratford holds the highest concentration of lodgings in the area, from bed-and-breakfasts to hotels. Here you can find accommodations to fit every wallet, and for the most part they are well maintained. The best establishments are the older, centrally located ones, often with fine period architecture; national chains own most of these.
Because Stratford is so popular with theatergoers, book well ahead whenever possible. Most hotels offer discounted two- and three-day packages. Outside town, some top-notch country hotels guarantee discreet but attentive service—at very fancy prices. At the other end of the scale, almost every village has a gnarled old inn with rooms at reasonable rates, or you can book a B&B through the local Tourist Information Centre.
