More about the hotel
Nice Stay
My husband and I recently stayed here on a Friday and Saturday night in October 2020. We stayed in a King Suite. The hotel is very easy to get to. It was very clean and had a nice bathroom with a good shower. A good shower is important to me!! The only thing I didn't like was the bed was too hard for my preference. Bed firmness/softness is not something that will appease every guest. The breakfast area was closed off for serve yourself due to COVID-19. There was an employee packing up "to-go" containers with that days breakfast choice for anyone that came down. I do appreciate that they are trying to get a hot breakfast to anyone that wants it. I know other hotels that are just giving out brown paper bags with things like granola bars and pieces of fruit and calling it breakfast. Its a difficult time right now, but again I appreciate what they are offering. I would definitely stay here again if in the area.
Probably the best hotel in Bradford (that isn't saying much)
Sandwiched awkwardly between a drainage canal and a railroad track, the HIX Bradford appears as a typical modern Holiday Inn Express. The nearest competition is probably the Best Western Plus about a half mile away, but the BW+ sits in an area that doesn't appear secure for your vehicle. I had no parking lot security concerns at the HIX. Now, this is during COVID, so things are a bit weird and clearly there was not a very high occupancy rate so some shortcomings can be forgiven. The carpet had visible stains and dirt, the shower drain was slow, there was leftover trash in a trash can from a previous occupant, and it is true that the lighting in the bathroom is impossibly dim. The towels and linens were clean and the bed comfortable. As of Sept 2020, the breakfast buffet is closed, but you can get a choice of approx two items at breakfast from the staff. I didn't expect much of the food and therefore was not disappointed.
Visiting friends
Nice hotel, recently renovated, very clean. Breakfast was grab n go because of Covid. But it was good. Your close to downtown and right by tops grocery store and a McDonald’s if interested. Easy off of 219.
Friendly
Came to visit family. Travelled with my mother. Every single one of the staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and well kept. The breakfast bar was clean, organized and fresh. We only stay at this hotel when we come to visit.
Beautiful hotel poorly maintained
This is an attractive, clean hotel with nice, spacious rooms and bathrooms. Housekeeping did a good job. I like that the breakfast buffet begins early: at 5:30 a. m., and that beverages and food are always available in the breakfast area. I like the dispensers of bath gel, shampoo, and conditioner in the shower. This is where my praise ends. The room lighting is deficient and poor except for in the shower. It is difficult to shave without appropriate light. The lone treadmill was inoperable throughout my stay and an effort to repair it by a maintenance person was unsuccessful: this was a huge disappointment. There was a boil water advisory during my stay, but the fitness center fountain was not blocked off nor was bottled water provided there. The breakfast buffet fare was average. The young male buffet attendant I encountered the morning of December 11 was unfriendly and sullen when he told me that oatmeal was not ready when I asked for a serving spoon for it seventy minutes after the buffet began. The carpet on the stairs to my room from the first floor were dirty and remained dirty throughout my visit. The snow and ice- covered parking lot and driveway were treacherous, not plowed or salted throughout my visit. The lobby men's rest room was not maintained. Twenty-four hours after using it, bath tissue had not been replenished nor the trash can emptied. USA Today is the only newspaper available and it is not put out early. There are refrigerators, but no microwave ovens in the rooms, diminishing the value of having a refrigerator.
