My parents and I were caught in snow and needed to find a hotel to stay for the night. This was the first hotel we came to and it was available. When we came into the room, it has been updated and was very clean. The bathroom is a little out dated...pink tile walls, but once you figure out the... More

Excellent water pressure making for an excellent shower. Things are still old but everything worked. Remote, refrigerator, microwave & coffee maker all new working well. Very quiet restful night. Just make sure you bring your own breakfast, minimal choices. They do have real oj for breakfast. They are also doing lots of repair to make it better you can tell... More

Despite the reviews on Tripadvisor about this hotel, I was going to give it a try. I made my reservations online at the hotel's website. Something came up and I had to change the dates for my stay. I called the hotel directly to cancel the reservation. The man how answered the phone was just absolutely rude and nasty stating... More

I don't mean to brag but I have stayed in literally hundreds of hotels. This is the first place I have ever been to that was so disgusting that I closed the door, went back to reception, asked for a refund & left immediately. I drove to the next town to stay at the Best Western. The owner was actually... More

Got nervous when we read the other reviews but they were way over blown. For $50 your not getting a great hotel. It was dated but clean and overall good for the value We would stay again if we were visiting Bradford again. Don't believe all the negative reviews. We almost didn't go because of the bad reviews but it... More

Horrible, dirty, & disgusting. I could not believe the condition of this room. It has not been renovated since the 60's at least. Not cleaned either. I was appalled as soon as I opened the door and when I saw the mattress I couldn'e believe my eyes. I always check for bed bugs and when I removed the sheet the... More

WARNING TO ALL FUTURE/PERSPECTIVE GUESTS...... We (3 adults, 2 small dogs) stayed in room #6 on 11/29/11. Everything I say is from our personal experience and I hope whoever stays here does not have the same experience we did. Upon arrival we knew this was a older hotel, but on their web cite they stated it was updated. Now we... More
