Modern hotel. Very professional, friendly and helpful staff (special thanks go to Jena, a great Manager, I would say).
Cleanliness really good and having tea and coffee making facilities in the room was a real bonus too.
Quite a busy location.
Another bonus was good car parking.

Take a break at Bedford

This is an Express by Holiday Inn. If you have stayed anywhere at one you will know what to expect. It's years since we last stayed at one and this was idenitical to all those we have stayed in before. The rooms are compact but comfortable. Good to have a large sturdy desk. Shame no wardrobe or drawers to put clothes.

This one is very conveniently situated just outside Bedford just off a main road into town. Plenty of parking, which is always a plus.

Hotel was very quiet when we stayed so no noise. Just an inconsiderate businessman conducting an online meeting in the breakfast area for all to hear. He could have chosen to have his meeting in his room and come down for breakfast afterwards.

Staff very attentive and helpful.

Nice comfortable stay

The check in system was down when we arrived staff were extremely apologetic and gave us a complimentary drink. The system was only down for about half hour once up and running was checked in quickly. Room was comfortable and had everything we needed area coffee etc.
I found the hotel clean tidy and quiet.
Staff were really friendly and helpful.
The breakfast was really nice hot and fresh. It was a buffet type breakfast a good choice of food.

We stayed here for one night as we were at a friends wedding reception nearby. Hotel was easy to find with plenty of free parking. Check in was hassle free and quick. The room was clean and a good size. My only issue (a small one at that) was the shower head pole was slightly loose. I let reception know and left it at that.

The bar was well stocked and we had an hour there before going to the function. Reception ordered us a taxi which was on time and reasonably priced.

Breakfast(free) was excellent with a good selection of cooked and cold food. We thoroughly enjoyed our night at this hotel and would definitely use it again.
