Hotel Indigo Stratford-upon-Avon is a conveniently located three-and-a-half pearl property with a charmingly rustic, timbered exterior and homey interiors. Some of the 83 rooms have lattice windows and wood beams, and modern amenities include flat-screen TVs and electric kettles -- though it's just getting around to adding air-conditioning in 2017. Its restaurant, two bars, and afternoon tea service add to its charm and value. There are also a handful of meeting rooms available. As an alternative, travelers could consider the Church Street Townhouse, which has a lively piano bar.
