Recommend Holiday Inn Bedford.
Very happy with our stay at Holiday Inn, Bedford. Kids had a great time at the pool and Carmella (Gen Manager) and Brock were great in allowing us a little extra pool time as they were doing lessons in the morning. Great breakfast with lots of options! Close to Halifax.

Great family hotel
Great stay, the pool was a good size and the kids loved the waterslide. Only downfall of the hotel was one elevator was down so a lot of waiting for the elevator or going up and down to get where you’re going.
