The Bard's Inn Hotel, BW Signature Collection - Hotel in Ashland - 132 N Main St, USA

Stayed coming and going. First room was not good. Labeled accessible, but somebody in a wheel chair couldn't cross the room it was so crowded with furniture. The patio had a step too. Also no microwave. Second room was miles better, more private and had a microwave, so ask when you reserve what is in the room you are getting.

This is one of the best locations in Ashland, only 4 blocks from the Shakespeare Festival, and easy walking to lots of restaurants. There are 4 buildings, the 2 newest have elevators. The oldest building does not have an elevator, but is closest to the pool and breakfast room and has a nice view. The breakfast is large and includes scrambled eggs and sausage. The rooms are very clean. My only complaint was the pillows were hard and lumpy.

Pros Rooms are well organized and clean. Charge ports in each bedside table. Plenty of warm lights to get ready or do work under. Linens were clean. Taller shower head for 6ft people with good water pressure. Plenty of TV channels to surf. Good toiletries provided. Larger sized fridge bonus for stuff you bring on the road or leftovers. The buffet was fantastic, lots to choose from and it is a clean and friendly space with attentive staff. Night manager/desk person was quick and efficient. Clean pool (next to the road though) so it can be loud) but it is contained by glass walls. Best proximity to downtown events and restaurants. Cons Rooms are close together so you'll get some neighbor noise Main windows face walkway so if you want privacy you'll be shut in with the blackout curtains and without much natural light. The AC unit in my room was not working so the room was on the warm side at night, this may just be a one room problem.

This was a perfect place to stay for our two days in Ashland. We did not need our car for anything we wanted to do. Within walking distance of everything. And dog friendly. |The staff was most helpful. The room was well appointed, clean and quiet. Breakfast was included and the coffee was great. |We would not hesitate to stay here again.

I will say that the bed was comfortable. but, I called a while back and told someone I wanted a first floor room or one accessible by elevator. Behold, there were none available and of the buildings that have elevators, only one was working. There were no handicapped spots in the lot either. I believe this is a fine-able offense. There also were not enough parking spots for rooms. Maybe lining the parking lot would help because people left to their own devices don't know how to park properly. Your front desk was rude and didn't really care what I had to say. just "sorry" I was hoping when the Bard became a Best Western again, it would be better. It's worse. I'll find somewhere else to stay next time I'm in Ashland.||

Great location - very walkable to all things Ashland. Decent breakfast options, Keurig in room, good front desk. Our housekeeper was awesome and very sweet. Beds are a little soft and they must replace the slippery comforters - it kept falling to the floor all night. Other guests were a bit noisy - loud talking in the early a.m. and late night, but you take that with a grain of salt at a motel. 😉

The staff was professional and polite at check-in. The front desk gave suggestions to local restaurants and helped me find things to do in the area. The room was fantastic and had a wonderful view of the downtown area. I will be coming back.

Spent a lovely weekend with the wife and dogs in this amazing place. Just on the edge of main street . Very walkable to alot of fun places . Parks and neighborhoods close by for walking. Alot of historic houses to see around. Wineries as well.
