Lovely Hotel Close to Bedford Town Centre
The plus for me was the included breakfast in what's an already reasonable price per night. Went for the Bedford River Festival weekend so this was out of town but about 10 mins into town by taxi at about £10 taxi fare

Comfortable but a bit rough around the edges
Very friendly, efficient check in despite arriving after midnight. Large comfortable room but starting to show signs of wear and tear. Annoyingly, the usb sockets didn’t work and the nearest mains socket to charge my phone was the other side of the room, more than 3m away. The carpet could do with a clean.

Breakfast was just ok. The food area was a tad messy with spilt food. Tables were not cleared. There was only 1 very large table that was clear but as there was only 2 of us it was far too big. The man on reception cleared the tables in the end and ask was OK. Room was clean and comfortable but bathroom light flashed on and off from the time we got there to time we left. Would still recommended this hotel.

The hotel is going through a remodel but this was not indicated on booking. Breakfast was extremely limited and was transported from the kitchens along halls ways to a small room. The entrance to the hotel is also strange as it is behind a gas station which you drive through. Bedrooms were clean enough though and hotel staff were friendly. Just an shame about the environment. Then again is was a cheap stay, so I guess cannot really complain, but it would have been nice to know about the remodel and lack of breakfast facilities.
