Stratford, Ontario is the town where the culturally minded folks flock to in the summer months for the Shakespeare Festival...so you wouldn't expect crummy motels in a place like this. At least I didn't. Now, maybe it was the off-season, so they had to fill their rooms with the help of the Ontario welfare system - that's where the problems... More

We stayed at the Noretta Motel at 691 Ontario Street in Stratford on Aug 15th 2012 because it was the last room in town and we were directed there by ONSTAR. What a nightmare . The room was 107.35 for the night and once we opened the door we were shocked. The carpet enetring was covered in dirt to the... More

I will admit that this hotel is a little dirty and needs some renovations. Towels had stains on them, found a spider in the shower, doors were hard to close, bathroom shelf was about to fall, bathtub was slippery, and the air conditioner didn't work too well. But, I have to say that given you are only paying $70 a... More

Dust, spider webs, hairs (in the sink, in the shower stall, on the towels) were bad enough but the pillow coverings had a musty odour and the bedspread looked and smelled as if it had not been cleaned for a year. Truly awful.

The website is decieving and I dont know how they get away with putting beautiful rooms on a website that do not exist. The smell is a mix of stale smoke and mold, like a basement, even tho the rooms are smoke free, i was accused of smoking in them for one. Like the other reviews the bathroom is tiny... More

The noretta is disgusting. We stayed there for the night of my daughters jack and Jill, well we didn't end up staying there. When we entered the room it smelled of smoke and mold, there was dust and cobwebs on everything. We wiped the bathroom floor and it was black on the toilet paper. The sheets smelled musty so we...

You must book this motel via phone. I confirmed our reservation via phone twice and we encountered no problems. Do not be fooled by the motel's website. This is not a luxurious setting in any way, shape or form. Parking is available in a lot which is necessary in Stratford as you cannot park on the street at night. The... More

We spent one night at the Noretta Motel when visiting the Stratford Festival. The website is misleading. The room was very small and dingy. The bathroom was TINY! and the fixtures arranged oddly. While the room appeared clean there was a dingy, run-down appearance to everything and the pillows were absolutely flat. We did appreciate having a fridge in the... More

Do Not Stay Here. I made a reservation for my daughter over the phone and before I confirmed I asked if I could cancel the day before as I was unsure of their plans. The answer was yes so I confirmed. As their plans had changed, I called to cancel the reservation, only to be told that I would still... More

Let me start by saying that if you are only staying here for one night, maybe two, it is a fine enough stay. If you plan to stay longer, the "little" things will probably start to become more annoying and noticeable. This might also change from room to room, we were staying in room number 8. The pros: -Like I... More
