On arrival, I pulled into the diagonal parking lot, there were 2 metal poles so I couldn’t pull up far enough to allow the next guest to drive in the parking lot, so I backed up and parked in 2 slots so the guest behind me could pull in off the street. Then these guests and another guest helped me back my car out into the street. The parking lot was very narrow; it was tight between the building and other parked cars. I parked in the street and went to check in. The host said, “You parked in two parking places.” I explained what had happened and he admitted that he knew I had immediately moved my car. He told me to park in the street during the day, at night wait until the other guests were parked and then pull my car into the lot and just block everyone in. It is illegal to park in the street overnight. He said my car was too large (it is a minivan).
The next morning I was unable to get on the Wi-Fi, he rebooted the modem and told me it wasn’t his fault. He continued to be very condescending during the entire 2 day stay. I would not recommend staying here because on inadequate parking, beds hard with plastic covers, breakfast is not served until 9am, no water pressure in shower when someone else in the building uses water, and unfriendly host.
I come to Stratford every year and have found all the people I have met friendly and helpful. It is a wonderful, enjoyable place to visit. This is my first unsatisfactory lodging experience here.
