Although the property has been superficially updated, the core fabric is still the hotel I knew nearly 20 years ago. The windows with secondary double gazing left 2 options - to open the small window and sffer the rattling noise from the metal frames or close the window and slowly cook. A poor night’s sleep spoiled my stay in Bedford.
