A nice stay
A pit stop on the way to France. Initially the hotel looked great, amazing gym and pool but the rooms were tired in need of upgrades. There was a wedding reception and the lobby and bar were chockablock. Staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Great stay, good staff and breakfast.
Fridge in the room would make a loud banging noise at night but would go off if you pressed a button, so no real dramas

Reception and bar area was nice. Our room was quite ratty esp the bathroom. The shower rail round the bath was starting to fall off meaning the bathroom floor got soaked as the curtain would close properly. The room could of done with a re paint

The hotel is not in walking distance to central Cambridge but is very close to Milton park and ride to get into town (£4 return, free parking). Hotel decor is a little tired in places, signs of wear and tear but it was fine for a one night stay. Staff super helpful and welcoming, ok breakfast, pool is a bonus.

Convenient location close to park and ride. Premium room was run down and needed an upgrade. Had to eat outside of hotel and go to local supermarket for whole of stay due to lack of any gluten free options.

The stay at this hotel was a stop over towards our final destination. It is in the ideal location for a one night stay.
The check-in clerk (Alan) was extremely pleasant, professional and helpful.
The room was a lovely room in a very quiet area of the hotel. The bedroom was spacious and clean. The bathroom was clean and functional but could be in need of an update.
All of the staff we came into contact with at the hotel were all polite and helpful.
I would recommend this hotel as an ideal stop over hotel.

Great staff, dated room.
Great check in area with polite staff. Good nights sleep until 7am each morning in a clean, comfortable bed. Room and corridors however are very dated and below standard of other hotels in the area.
