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.

Hotel was fine, staff was accommodating, rooms were a good size and included breakfast was good, although their were few gluten friendly options available. Place ran out of pool towels each evening meaning our kids had to use room towels after swimming. Location was ideal for everything in our itinerary and price was respectable for a family friendly hotel.
