I first stayed here in oct. '04 after stopping from a ten hour drive. I was greeted like I was family. Something that I truly needed at that time in my life. I ended up feeling like I was more welcome here than any place I'd ever been. After a three week stay, I moved to Ellijay. I moved to... More

We stayed here during our annual visit to the Ellijay Apple Festival in October 2011. Previous years we would stay at mountain houses; this year, everything was so crowded - streets, non-moving traffic - I believe even more people attended the Festival this year - we decided to keep it simple, and stayed for the first time at The Stratford...

My husband and I stayed at the Stratford Inn several times when we were looking for our retirement home in Ellijay and it was really a nice place. The atmosphere was nice; the rooms were clean and comfortable; the continental breakfast was satisfying and the rates were reasonable. That was 10 years ago. Since then, we've recommended the Stratford several... More

We needed to stay one night in Ellijay and this property met our needs. It is a decent, basic motel with an above average continental breakfast included. More

Right off 515 in Ellijay, it's close to some local restaurants and grocery stores. They have a small fridge in the room which was clean and neat. Both the women that work the desk... More

We stayed here one night while passing thru the town of East Ellijay. We checked out two other local hotels before deciding on this on. From the outside the place looks almost like a southern plantation. The room was fine and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast is included with the price of the room. Basic cereals, toast, biscuits and gravy,... More

I see by the other reviews on here that some people have had nice rooms here. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of them. My room was in a pretty run down condition with dirty walls and it literally had some holes in the walls. I will say that they have an absolutely beautiful breakfast area. Asthectically it is actually one the... More

I attend a Veterans Reunion in Ellijay every year. I found the Stratford the best place to stay. The staff are friendly and will do anything to make your stay better. I will be back at the end of April and know my room will be ready. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Keep up the great work. More
