Extended Stay America - accommodation in Bedford

This hotel is an older hotel, and some of the reviews I saw before staying there gave me pause, saying that other than the lobby area it was frowsy and dated. I thought the hotel was very nice. It clearly wasn’t renovated yesterday but our room, although VERY small, was quite nice. The location was outstanding (given what we were doing in the area) and the price was reasonable. I would certainly stay there again. We didn’t use any of the amenities so I can’t speak to those. We self parked in a nearby garage by reserving ahead of time and got a good price for that. We didn’t eat in the restaurant. What I didn’t like - that they charge a resort fee, and we were there for just one night and didn’t get to use the $15 credit for food/drink in the restaurant. The room and bathroom were the smallest I’ve ever stayed in. We had an opty to upgrade at a discount but for one night we didn’t bother. The check in person even said “they put you in a wicked small room” and he wasn’t kidding! The bathroom was so small I had to wrap the shower curtain up over the rod because you couldn’t even sit on the toilet without it being in your face. If you are staying multiple days - take the upgrade! Bed was fine, pillows were hard.
