Bedford Motel

This is an ancient hotel that has been updated. The plus side is that it’s been updated, clean and has a fridge and microwave. On the down side room security is a joke! The cheap house locks could be easily popped open with a screw driver and there is latch inside. (See photos). While there is an ice bucket there are no cups! The tv didn’t work so I had to trouble shoot it and hook the cable up correctly to the box, set the up to the correct HDMI and wait for the box to update. Oh, s d watch out for registration websites that appear to be there’s that tack on an extra $100+ for “fees”. Thankfully I was able to cancel. Their one “official “ web site does reservations through a third party too,

Dirty shower. Desk falling apart. Advertised wifi did not work. Holes in walls and doors. No cell phone service on AT&T or Verizon (presumably not their fault, but beware). Rude and unhelpful staff both by phone and in person. (They resisted giving additional towels, refused a refund due to aforementioned false advertisement, and were generally unfriendly.) I would not recommend this motel to anyone.

One of the cheapest motels close to Boston - for a reason. It's clean(ish), and has towels etc., but no fridge, no coffee machine, no microwave - and a list of rules, saying what you can't do - including dine/cook in the room, or leave "excessive" amounts of trash. At 05:00 a.m., I realised why, as all our "neighbours" began firing up their trucks (and a Harley) to go to work. The advertised 24 hour reception just means there's a box to drop your key, and the coffee machine is available only between 07:00 and 10:00 - and the snack machine doesn't exist. Fortunately, the gas station with a Dunkin' Donut is within a 5-minute walk, though you have e to break the rules and bring your breakfast back if you prefer to sit down. Son's room had a faulty lock, and I waited in reception for 15 minutes for the owner/manager (who appears to live on the premises with his family) to finish doing something on his phone/laptop before he went to investigate. During this time, my son was stuck in his room. Without a word, the owner attacked the lock with a screwdriver, put his shoulder to the door, said "see" and left. I'm sure the "workies" are fine with this place - and maybe they do need to be threatened with the police/fire department if they break the rules, but do NOT book this for a family holiday.
