The front desk were very welcoming and courteous. The room was well appointed and maintained, clean and comfortable. The parts of the hotel I saw also appeared clean and well maintained. As I only spent one night here, it would be unfair for me to comment on the food and amenities as I did not indulge at all. In summary, I would definitely add this to my shortlist if staying in the area again.

I was given a very small and tired room on the first floor with paper thin walls! Cranfield really shouldn’t be charging full price for this type of room!

The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was a good size and had a bath and shower over the bath. Staff were friendly and willing to help. Bar food - choice was good and very good. Breakfast was excellent. Buffett and a great selection from fresh fruit and yoghurt etc to cooked breakfast. Well worth considering staying here in comparison to a budget hotel. Would certainly stay there again whennext in the area.
