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.

Great for business stays.

Excellent place to stay f you have a business trip in Bedford County. BP garage with M&S shop 50 yards away. Has restaurant for meals, nice lounge area for relaxing. Decent spread for breakfast. Free parking. Easy access to motorway. Bed was a bit firm, but only realised later one could request a different mattress, note for next time.
