Outsanding facilites

For the price, oustanding facilities. Nice environment, great artwork, good libby and lounge area. Loved the availability of self service hot drinks and water coolers on each floor. The lounges were comfortable and have good facilites to work if required. The fitness suite, pool and sauna were all clean and comfortable. Rooms had a hood size deak, appropriate lamps, powerful showers and comfortable pillows and beds.

Cranfield Management Centre

Very pleasant one night stay in modern bright training centre located within a University campus. The room was modern, exceptionally clean and extremely comfortable. The centre itself is quiet and has an excellent bar area which serves a good selection of food. I sampled the burger and fries which was excellent. Priced around £15 as a guide. Overall an excellent choice for a one night stay on a reasonable budget. Please be aware that the location is a little isolated with no local shops. Highly recommended.
