We are one of the returning-family at The Swan Motel....have stayed here many times over the years and it just seems like home! Small, spotless, well-maintained and loved by owners, comfortable, close to downtown but private rural setting, reasonbly priced for Stratford. Wouldn't stay anyplace else when in the area

We stayed in this motel in September 2012 and found it to be charming. The gardens were beautifully landscaped and the motel was very clean, comfortable and quiet. We were offered coffee and fresh muffins in the morning which really hit the spot. Although the motel is older and has been in the family for 3 or 4 generations, it... More

Good location for Stratford Festival. Owners are efficient and welcoming. Rooms with 2 double beds. Clean, up-to-date bathrooms with dual sinks, one in room, one in bathroom. Parking outside your door. Enjoyable stay.

We chose this hotel because we wanted a spot in Stratford so the we could go into town but that we could go to St. Mary's as well for a wedding. The whole weekend was cold and rainy and coming back to the swan was warm and comfortable. The muffins in the morning were great too!

Then book into The Swan in Stratford. It is just a 5 minute drive from downtown, but it is located in a quiet rural setting. The owners are always there to welcome you and help on any way possible. They are great at giving directions! The motel is fairly small and simple, but has all of the necessary amenities.However, I... More

We stayed here last night. Very clean motel. Not too far from downtown, about a 5 minute drive. Very comfortable beds and very quiet. I would like to stay here in the summer and enjoy the pool and beautiful grounds.

A lovely place, comfortable room, spotlessly clean, beautiful gardens. We picked up some wine, used our ice bucket as a wine cooler and sat out at a table and chairs in the gardens. It was relaxing. We tried the pool but it was ice cold. Only some guests from northern England braved the waters. The TV remote control is not... More

We "found" the Swan Motel through previous visitors' reviews, and want to add our own very positive comments! We spent 3 days and 2 nights there, and will certainly return on our next trip to Stratford. Coleen and Peter were gracious, friendly, and helpful - and took obvious pride in their well-kept premises. The overall effect on arrival was that... More

We spent two nights at this motel in September and found the accommodation to be excellent. Motels often get a bad rap but this one was quiet, spotlessly clean (wish I could get my tub at home to shine like the one in our room!) and the grounds are beautiful. It was only five minutes from downtown Stratford which made... More

Four couples recently stayed in Stratford to attend the Festivals 42nd Street which was good but not excellent. The Swan Motel has very clean rooms, spacious and good parking. The grounds are well kept. The only downfall is with their continental breakfast composing of muffins and coffee/tea. A very small areas is available right beside the check out counter which... More
