Lovely hotel but room was far too hot
"Lovely hotel and room and the gym was just amazing. But the room was so hot. No aircon, just a little fan and couldn’t open the window. Didn’t get much sleep."

"My third stay and the best so far. Previously I've been in rooms that have an interconnecting door and there's been some noise. This room was smaller but perfect for my needs and the aircon on a hot sunny day was a delight on entering the room."

Bedford resembles a northern town prior to regeneration. The town centre revolves around the bus station and its complex of 1960s architecture, a bit like Stockport. Groups of unsavoury looking characters hang around the town corners and alleys.
