Room clean and parking was good

I’m not one to leave reviews but this is important. I have never been so disgusted or ready to leave a motel/hotel so fast. While a cool building downtown, and ok first appearance, the room was not clean: dirty/smelly very old carpet, hair on shower walls, tile broken, stained sheets, used shampoos left from previous users, towels so thin like they had been used for 100years. In the morning the “breakfast” that was offered was stale cereal, sour milk and an obvious lack of care or consideration for travelling guests. SO many improvements could be made. Highly disappointed.

The hotel is a "classic" hotel with a lot of character. The staff at the lobby and bar/dining area were very nice and helpful.

Lovely stay in circle, tourist area

I almost never write negative reviews, but this hotel experience was so unacceptable that it absolutely demands one. If I could give a score below zero, this property would earn it without hesitation. The problems started immediately. Check‑in was abrupt and unhelpful—keys were handed over with no explanation about parking, amenities, or anything else. The room itself was a disaster: cramped, musty, overheated, and arranged so poorly that a microwave had been shoved onto an antique desk, making the desk completely unusable. The TV was awkwardly propped against the adjoining door, which did nothing to block the constant noise coming from the room next door. Conversations, footsteps, and banging carried straight through the wall, making it impossible to relax. The condition of the room was equally unacceptable. The carpet was worn, the bathtub tiles had visible black mold, and several floor tiles were loose. But the worst moment came at bedtime, when we pulled back the covers and found a large, disgusting stain on the bedsheets. No one was at the front desk, so I had to call the hotel directly just to reach someone. When I requested a different room, I was told none were available. I then asked for clean bedding. After a 30‑minute wait, someone finally brought sheets—only for us to be expected to change the bed ourselves. This stay was not just disappointing; it was unsanitary, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. Please think carefully before booking here.

Stayed one night, and found staff very accommodating. Room had a fridge & microwave, and very clean. Very convenient to all stores as located downtown at the Square.

Beautiful stay. Close to everything.

We enjoyed our staff at Hotel Bedford. We enjoyed the ambiance, and cleanliness of the hotel. The shower was great with lots of pressure and the beds were quite comfortable. The location is perfect and within walking distance of everything. We basically parked our car and walked everywhere. The pub is great with reasonable prices and a nice selection on the menu.

Booked a king room. Room was tiny, smelt bad and had old dirty carpet. No fire safety plan posted in room. Tv did not work, no bedside table, no alarm clock, no chair, no coffee maker, no microwave. Fairly certain black mold ceiling in bathroom. Curtains broken.

Great place to stay in central downtown Goderich! Excellent location within walking distance to the local museums and restaurants. Clean room with TV, microwave, and queen bed. A little snug, but perfect for a one night stay. We had dinner at the restaurant underneath, and the staff were all friendly and attentive. Food was decent, and the drinks were good. Will stay here again if back in Goderich!

Not so clean 😕

We did not stay at this hotel. The hotel was dirty. The room wax

Parking was great ! good location but it's an old hotel and our room had a few things that were not up to standards but it was in my budget for my short visit.

The location was excellent, right in downtown and close to everything. The building itself was historic and beautiful. However, the cleanliness was disappointing and did not meet my expectations. With better cleaning and maintenance, this place could be amazing.

The issue I have is- I booked 3 rooms and selected pay at property. Through Expedia the people we were travelling with were going to pay at the hotel. We have done this many times before. The morning of check in, my card that was used to reserve the rooms was charged fully for all three rooms. When we arrived we had to pick up our keys at the bar. There was no one there to check us in. This was at 3:30 pm. The next morning when the woman was there at the desk I questioned her on it…she told us that is the way they do it, so if we don’t check in she won’t be out any money. I have never heard of such a thing. She argued saying that it’s always been this way. She was rude and lied about a continental breakfast, she told us they haven’t had one for over a year. However one of the people working in the bar said they do offer it during the summer months. I could not believe how rude she was, also my friend went downstairs in the morning and when she saw her behind the desk she said “Good morning” the woman scowled at her and turned and walked away. So rude! Absolutely no customer service! I realized later that she charged my card for all the rooms because she wasn’t there to check us in and that was easier for her than to do her job and check us in properly. She is only there for a couple of hours in the morning then when check in starts at 3pm no one is there. If you have any issues there is no one ask. That makes no sense. Some one should be there for checking in.

This ancient hotel has long seen its better days. Its carpets are old, no elevator on establishment, door closed after certain hour and nobody picks up the phone to respond to need to replace stained blankets. I am amazed such a 3 star hotel exists in Canada and there is no inspection by the town of Goderich. It barely deserves one star. We would definitely not come back

Great spot. Restaurant on first floor of hotel was very convenient. Quiet, clean and affordable

Quiet (it is off season) with a good location in the charming main square and a short lovely walk to the lakefront, boardwalk and beach. A little worse for wear, but It was a very clean room, bathroom and very comfortable bed with nice linens. There was a refrigerator and microwave in the room, but no coffee maker. This was especially egregious given there was no morning coffee service in the lobby or any open cafes or restaurants immediately close by. (But there is a lovely local cafe on the other side of the square). There is no elevator, so one needs to be fit enough to climb a fairly long staircase with a bag. It isn't the Hilton, but at a $100 including tax it was clean, safe and adequate accomodation and good value for this senior solo traveller. If on a tight budget and you like walking it is a good choice for one night. Bring your own mug, creamer, instant coffee and microwaveable dinner and avoid the pub food next door.

Our room was not very clean - stained sheets, dirty floors. Front desk was not staffed through the evening. Parking was good, no problem at this time of year.

We liked the character of the building, the beds were comfortable and the room suited our basic needs.
