Great night’s stay with the kids. Room was clean and quiet, the breakfast was good with lots of choice and the pool’s waterslide was a hit (pool was also warm, which was a hit).

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.

Great spot! Very convenient for the city! Room was clean and spacious, and had all the facilities you need. The road outside is a little noisy in the room, however a pair of earplugs sort that out. Id recommend this hotel.
