❤️ Toledo Review
Bedford Inn
The Bedford Inn, located in Erie, Michigan, just outside of Toledo, is an intriguing mix of value accommodation with unique themed suites. With 47 guest rooms, it aims to cater to a variety of preferences from basic rooms to more adventurous honeymoon suites. However, experiences at this hotel can be quite diverse.
Themed suites such as the Hawaiian, Roman, and Victorian are what make Bedford Inn stand out. The Hawaiian suite, for example, features lush paintings of island life, a tiki bar, and a jacuzzi. Many guests have praised the spaciousness and quietness of these rooms. If you’re looking for something ordinary, there are standard rooms that include standard amenities like free WiFi, king-size beds, refrigerators, and microwaves. However, it’s crucial to manage your expectations, as some rooms might need a bit of TLC.
A notable highlight mentioned by several guests is the quality of the jacuzzi tubs found in many of the themed suites. This seems to be a consistent feature that adds a touch of luxury to an otherwise casual stay. Additionally, the location is a plus—it’s conveniently close to Lake Erie, the University of Toledo, and other local attractions like the Toledo Museum of Art and the Toledo Zoo. So, it's a decent option if you plan to explore the area.
On the flip side, the Bedford Inn does have its drawbacks. Cleanliness has been a recurring issue in some rooms. There are reports of dirty tiles, stench, and even bed bugs which have understandably put off several guests. In contrast, others mentioned quick service in resolving issues, like moving rooms swiftly when minor problems were reported. It seems the service quality can vary significantly depending on who's on duty at the time.
The reservation policies at Bedford Inn are pretty standard. Check-in starts at 3 PM and check-out is at 11 AM. A 72-hour cancellation policy is in place, which travelers should bear in mind when booking. Also, due to previous complaints about customer service, make sure to double-check any special requests or arrangements during booking to avoid misunderstandings.
Despite its flaws, the price point can be a real deal-maker. With weekly rates around $330, it can be a viable option for a budget-friendly, somewhat quirky getaway. Just make sure to bring some cleaning supplies and have a plan B ready if your room doesn't meet your standards.
