Having never been in Ashland, we had no idea where to stay while attending some of the Shakespeare Festival. We explored several B & B's on line and chose this one because it looked so nice and was available on relatively short notice. We were so pleased! The owners were attentive to every detail and they went out of their way to be certain we were comfortable. What really impressed me, beside the simply delicious breakfasts, was that in each room was a detailed copy of the Shakespeare Festival book. This book contained information on every play showing with explanations and storylines. It was so helpful. Deana and Don also know the restaurants in Ashland and willingly made reservations for us. Our room, the Stratford Suite, was roomy, airy, quiet, and comfortable. The only down side is that they are 7 blocks from town..not a problem for us, but just be advised.

We’ve been making annual visits to Ashland for 35 years, and we’ve been staying at the Romeo Inn for over 20 of those years. We’ve stayed at other B&Bs in Ashland and around the world, but we’ve never stayed in one that’s even close to the quality of the Romeo Inn.

The Inn is a home away from home, a quiet and relaxing retreat from the madding world. It’s beautifully appointed, warmly and tastefully decorated, and spotlessly clean. We love sitting on the patio next to the beautiful garden or curling up with a book on the living room sofa. The breakfasts are generous, fresh, healthy and delicious.

However, the innkeepers, Don and Deana, are the best thing about the Inn. The Inn has had three sets of owners, and we’ve known and liked all of them, but Don and Deana are by far our favorites. The are uniformly warm, friendly, accommodating, humorous, helpful, brave, courageous, and bold. (Don will happily show you his merit badge collection!)

We travel and vacation from time to time throughout the year, but our annual week at the Inn is the most relaxing vacation we take all year.

Everything in all the other posts (both good and bad) is true. You have to decide if the positives are worth the negatives to you.

Our room was very comfortable and well decorated (in the classic B&B flowered print style), the public rooms are nice, the place is spotless, the breakfast was good. There is a refrigerator for guests, and a cookie jar and baked goods available during the day.

A major attraction is a decent-sized garden with a great hammock, and a reasonable-sized pool (not large, but big enough to do laps in). Both are perfect for Ashland summer weather, and you can even use them after check-out.

The main disadvantage is an air of rigidity and control. From the sign on the door specifying a limited time-slot for check-in, to the rope barring access to the kitchen, you are frequently reminded of what you can and can't do.The owners are not unfriendly, and they can be helpful. But when we checked out 9 minutes late (albeit on a holiday), one of them spoke very rudely to me.

where to begin? my stay at romeo inn in quaint ashland, oregon was an absolute delight! there are not enough good things to be said about this lovely little b & b. stayed in the canterbury suite this most recent visit, but have also previously stayed in the stratford suite (which has a jacuzzi!). both rooms were incredibly spacious, with large bathrooms, beautiful furnishings and decorative touches. the inn itself is impeccably clean, comfy, and cozy, and its keepers are respectfully sociable-- you want to talk, they'll talk; you want to be left alone, they'll leave you alone. (but, they're lovely people, and you'll want to talk to them!)
since one of the most important aspects of a b & b is the second b (breakfast), i'll spend a little time elaborating on the gourmet offerings. the guest book located in each room refers to the breakfast as lavish, and it definitely is! each morning's breakfast has several courses, beginning, naturally, with coffee or tea (coffee is fantastic), then a fruit smoothie or fresh squeezed juice. next comes a starch of sorts, a scone or muffin (deana-- who does most of the baking-- makes scones to die for). next, a fruit course-- some days a salad, others a yogurt parfait, etc. finally, the main course: some delicious conception of eggs, or waffles, or french toast-- you name it! they strive for variety, and i've never had eggs two days in a row (though everything is so good, it wouldn't bother me if i had). and no worries, when scheduling your stay, you will be asked if you have any food allergies, dietary needs, or dislikes, and don and deana are incredibly accommodating; if you hate mushrooms, they won't serve you a mushroom omelette and expect you to pick out the mushrooms. breakfast is served 8:30- 9:30, and you definitely want to make sure you're awake for it!
in addition to breakfast, deana also conjures daily snacks which are in the common area leading to the pool out back. near the snacks are also complimentary coffee and tea, as well as soft drinks which are located in the guest fridge-- yes, guest fridge. so, if you have leftovers from one of the many wonderful area restaurants, you've got a place to put them.
the pool and patio area is lovely, with different places to sit, lounge chairs, etc. the pool is well-maintained, and definitely spacious for a few guests to use at a time. there is also a jacuzzi located in this area. adjacent to the pool is an extensive garden, inhabited by one of the friendliest (and most attention-loving) orange tabby cats i have ever met: Buster. if you visit romeo inn, you will surely get to know Buster. he's an outdoor cat, so don't worry if you have allergies, because he's not allowed inside the inn. nestled among the garden area are different benches and the most comfortable hammock known to man.
over all, my stays at romeo inn have been what a stay at a b & b should be: relaxing, care-free, and fulfilling. i would recommend it to anyone.
