Travelodge Bedford Motel - Page 1

I can only say in their favor that the place was relatively clean....it appears. The several loud drinking parties that were going on around me negated that fact. Furthermore, repeated calls to the front desk from 1 AM to 3 AM got only busy signals. I finally went and confronted the 5-6 college-age screaming, drinking students myself, and, thankfully, they stopped and moved their operation to another end of the building where they were less audible than right next door to us.

When I aksed the front desk in the morning why I got no response, at first, they said they must have been answereing the phone, but, when pressed, said I should have come to the front door of the office to get the call number the was Scotch taped to the door. SO THERE WAS NO ONE ON DUTY ALL NIGHT!!!

Wire-free Internet is advertised on the Boston/Bedford's sign. BUT THE FREE INTERNET IS ONLY IN THE FRONT OFFICE, NOT IN YOUR ROOM.

Family owned. Small outdoor pool. Right near shops, diners and other amenities in Bedford. Close to historic sites.

My husband and I were a little nervous about this cheap rate since the rates in Boston are so high, but this turned out to be a nice little motel. It is old but clean and the staff was really nice. Of course it does not compare to a $200 room but just for a place to stay while traveling or siteseeing, it was nice enough. We were a little worried what type of area it would be and it was a nice little suburb. Also, we went to the local library to see the oldest flag in America. We went on a tour of boston and the Boston Tours picked us up at a hotel near I-95 just down the road. We really enjoyed it and Richard, our tour guide was well versed on history. We felt good that we were riding around in air-conditioning when we saw people burning up on the trolley buses and the duck boats. I would recommend taking the subway to JFK Library since signs are not Boston's best side. They don't seem to care how much you get lost. Richard warned us to take the subway but since we had a rental car we felt we needed to put it to use. Since we go to Maine nearly every year, we will stay at this little motel again.

It's in a good location for my needs. Every convenience and necessity was nearby--food, gas, etc. They are very reasonably priced and within minutes of the places I needed to go to.

My biggest complaint is that they charged us $5 more per night than they quoted. Because I was the person that reserved the room and my husband was the person who paid for it, we did not catch this until we were home.
