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.
