On our latest trip to the Shakespeare Festival, we checked out the venerable Abbey Inn. There are only a couple of things I’d change. The hotel is about a mile from the festival (farther than I remembered) and that stretch of 200 North isn’t the most walkable, especially on a hot day, so you’ll most likely want to drive (on the plus side, free parking abounds at the festival). Also, the sink/vanity, toilet and shower are all in the same room, which can be mildly inconvenient for families. Everything else was great. The room and breakfast house were very clean despite ongoing construction on the south end of the hotel. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the breakfast offerings were decent and well-stocked.
