Cranford Oak Motel
The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Couple of of items that need attention. The curtains at the ranch slider had mould patches. There was some slight damage to the bathtub surround. Staff were great and eager to assist. Recommend the local Cranford Alehouse for meals. Parking was good however ...

Some socks from a previous occupant seen under the bed. Should have been 2 of each cutlery item and dishes etc, only 1 fork and 1 glass. Our unit faced the busy Sherbourne Rd, very busy and noisy. Otherwise, unit was spacious and clean. We especially liked the spacious bathroom.
