Grange Bracknell

It was not my choice to stay at the Grange; my preference is smaller, personable, more reasonably priced places, but this was supposedly the only place booking.com could find us when previous bookings elsewhere fell through! The hotel was fine, reasonably comfortable etc, but the breakfast charges were way overpriced and after reading mixed reviews as to quality and quantity of them from other guests, I decided not to & make own arrangements. The decor was a bit dated but not unpleasant. The room was clean, tidy, & spacious, but there was a disappointing lack of cool drinking water available from the cold taps, which ran warm all the time & tasted disgusting! The 500ml bottles of water in the mini bar were similarly overpriced along with everything else so had to resort to buying bottles of water from outside! The parking was also in the multi-storey next door & also similarly expensive; the hotel did not offer any validation as it was “not on my tariff!” Some people may like staying in overpriced tower blocks but me. I doubt I shall return to a place such as that! I will give a “shout out” to the very helpful night staff in the early hours of Saturday morning who came to my dehydrated rescue with a bottle of complimentary water from the bar and a pint glass of ice!
