Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The beds were old and snuck in, pillows were awful, we could barely sleep. Our sheets were not clean when we arrived and we continued to need to ask for towels to be replaced. The ladies that worked the breakfast were excellent. Kids were running around all night and was woken up nightly by screaming kids. Waste of money to stay there.

The key to our door didn’t work the whole time we were there. We had to ask to be let into our room. They tried to fix it but they were unsuccessful. Since I booked through Expedia I couldn’t ask for a discount for our inconvenience. Breakfast was just ok.

In general it is very good and the only reason it gets a four star is that the blind is deformed and it is out of railing that it doesn't close fully. Light comes in from the gaps in the morning wakes me up before my schedule.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Food Options (Breakfast): The breakfast was acceptable but not perfect. While it provided some basic options, it lacked variety and quality could be improved. Bed Comfort: The bed was comfortable, providing good rest throughout the stay. This was one of the better aspects of the accommodation. Internet Access: The internet access was poor. Connection was unreliable and very slow, making it difficult to perform even basic tasks online. Transport Access: Transportation access was unsatisfactory. It was either not conveniently located or lacked easy options for getting around the area.

The room was clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast could be improved by offering more variety on different days. The key card strips were not functioning properly; although the staff assisted in resetting them, it sometimes took up to 20 swipes to open the door. Despite the key card issue, the overall cleanliness and service made it a minor inconvenience. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. I would recommend it

Recommend Holiday Inn Bedford.

Very happy with our stay at Holiday Inn, Bedford. Kids had a great time at the pool and Carmella (Gen Manager) and Brock were great in allowing us a little extra pool time as they were doing lessons in the morning. Great breakfast with lots of options! Close to Halifax.
