True, this is an older motor court style motel...
True, it does need updating. I can overlook alot of things when staying in a low budget, older motel. I CANNOT deal with a shower that does not work!!!!!
We stayed here for one night while visiting family in the Boston area. This was the lowest price for a decently reviewed accommodation on Expedia that I could find and I really now feel that you get what you pay for. We checked in at around 2pm and were given a room close to the office. We dropped our things in the room & put on the A/C. We then left to visit family & returned later that night around 9. Got some ice cream next door at Bedford Farms - good ice cream, but pricy. Nice to have that within walking distance. The room overall was a little dark with a queen size bed, a small easy chair & a coffee table. Older TV with plenty of channels. I did utilize the free wifi, which seemed fine. The bed was comfortable & everything was just fine until the morning came and we were going to shower. My partner went into the bathroom and came out after a while, stating that he could not get the shower to operate at all. The tub is, as in previous pics here, about 3'x3'. I then went in to try and the shower did not work at all!!!!!! Water came out below but the shower would not happen for us - we tried every possible combination with the controls to no avail... At this point we were quite upset as we were not able to shower at all for our day. I am sorry, but I feel that this is one amenity that is a requirement in a hotel room that should work with no issues. If they knew this was a problem(see below), why were we even given this room. We both dressed & cleaned up as well as we could using water from the sink and were on our way as we were on a schedule & had to be somewhere. I went to the office to check out & voice my concern over the shower. I told the woman at the desk that the shower did not work and she told me that it does work, but you have to flip the valve just so, but that it does work. WELL - at this point I was quite taken aback as she just had admitted to me that they are well aware of the problem in this one room, but still they rent it out to paying customers without a mention of it when checking in. Had I known there was this problem with this room's shower I would have insisted that we have a different room in the first place. She just kept saying, " the shower does work, let me take you & show you." That is all nice & good that you can show me how your shower can work magically. When 2 grown adults cannot get a basic shower to operate correctly, I feel it is a major problem that probably should have been addressed a long time ago. I told her we did not have time to go with her for her "demonstration" of how to work her broken shower. I then left in quite a huff and said good bye to the Bedford Motel, never to return again. In closing, if you are looking for a cheap alternative to the chains that seriously needs updating with their basic amenities, then the Bedford Motel is for you. I, myself, prefer to shower in the morning at a hotel and consider this to be my most basic of rights when I pay money to stay at your facility. Every hotel/motel, should be able to accommodate you with a bed, toilet & shower - Just saying...
