The Bard is always a great option for lodging when attending the OSF. It’s a five minute walk to all of the theatres, the area supports good food and shopping plus Lithia Park has a nice trail for a morning hike/stroll. I’ve stayed at the Bard a number of times and would choose it again in a heartbeat.

Charming place at a good price and so close to downtown! Could be improved with more lighting (the room and bathroom vanity areas were dimly lit) and a better mini fridge with a proper freezer compartment. Otherwise, great!

Good room in a pinch! We enjoyed the hot tub and the place was quiet. I was disappointed that there was not a coffee maker in the room. Also breakfast and coffee did not start until 7, which is unfortunate when we had to leave by 6:45am. Overall a good stay!

The room in the main building was quiet, small but comfortable, and equipped with all the basic amenities. An older and heavily used hotel that is a bit tired, the Bard's Inn provides acceptable and much more affordable accommodations conveniently within easy walking distance to downtown Ashland. All the usual Best Western amenities are--sort of--available. At the Expedia rate, we were content with our stay.
