Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was very clean and well run. Breakfast was popular and very organised. This hotel has a lovely ground floor area for relaxing and is a short walk from Statford town centre. Our King room was soacious. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was dated and a bit small and the air con controls were manual and difficult to operate. You can open the window in tge room which allows for air to circulate."
