Fodor's Expert Review The Stratford, DoubleTree by Hilton

Although this modern hotel may lack the period charm of older hotels, its up-to-date facilities, spacious rooms, and ample grounds make it a good option if Tudor beamed ceilings aren't a must. Rooms, all with well-designed furniture and tasteful color schemes, come in several shapes; some even have four-poster beds. There is also a mini-gym on-site, and you can use the indoor pool at the sister hotel, the Stratford Manor, three miles away.
