Ashland Motels

I’m not sure that I had any pros about this place. Initially when I was looking for a place for us to stay since it was the last place we would stop on our way home it said one price and then when I got into the booking site it was more. When we first arrived the place appeared okay, however after getting the lights on i noticed this was going to be a rough night. The placed needed a seriously good dusting, didn’t look like some of the furniture had been dusted in months, and could see the dust in the air. The bed looked okay at first but as soon as you laid down it felt like you were laying on a stone table, I didn’t sleep at all. Next the bathroom: The exhaust fan was caked in dust and doesn’t look like it had been cleaned in a long time. You can feel cold air coming from behind the electrical plates covering the outlet and also from a plate that had no use so this made the bathroom VERY COLD. Next no hot water at all from the sink or shower. We drove 13 hours, and was hoping for a shower before the last leg of our trip home but couldn’t do that and luckily I had enough sanitizer in my bag since you could t properly wash your hands. You could also see a long strip in the shower that needed caulking but didn’t have it and could see mold/mildew caked in there, not to mention it was extremely small like 2x3” Breakfast: TERRIBLE! Tasted like everything me and my daughter had, had been frozen and de-thawed multiple times, the coffee didn’t even appear to be fresh either. Had to get breakfast and coffee elsewhere, luckily there is a Starbucks right up the road.

If you are going to the Shakespeare Festival, this is a perfect location. It is easily walkable to downtown Ashland and the Festival. Great restaurants and shops only a few minutes' walk away. Everyone I encountered at the front desk was friendly and helpful. There are three separate buildings, and I do think there is a difference. We stayed in Verona(?), which had its own covered parking lot. It seemed more secure than the main building, if that is a concern. (The main building rooms open up to the parking lot, and have easier access, but the building we were in had a keyed entry and rooms opened into a secured hallway.) The room was very clean and had all the basics. There is a large dining area for the free breakfast. Nothing fancy, but a wide variety of items. I have an EV, and didn't need to charge, but it was nice to know there is EV charging in the main parking lot.
