Very good

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.
We had a lovely stay, the hotel was very clean, beautifully decorated and peaceful. Lots of space to leave car and easy to jump onto a bus into Cambridge.
Our room was clean and spacious. The only minus is that the room was very warm, and got even worse after showering because of poor airflow.
Nice hotel, staff great, room was clean, breakfast lovely. Only thing I would improve would be rusty towel rail and extended mirror in bathroom needs replacing.

Decent but needs renovation
A decent hotel in convenient location. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a bit dated and in need on renovation... The bathroom in particular sorely needs updating. But over all a comfortable night sleep and good facilities. Very helpful and friendly staff and was made to feel welcome. Would definitely stay again.
First night checked in looked under the bed as I usually do diván base ripped in multiple places no hot water until around 21.30 returned to hotel next day at 16.00 room not cleaned
Booked as a night away to visit Cambridge with my two young children. Our room wasn’t ready at check in time which was disappointing but without having to ask we were offered free drinks and activity packs for the kids along with apologies. Cookies too!
Room was what you’d expect from a holiday inn, basic but comfortable. Slight niggle was the sofa bed being out blocked the dressing table/chair area. This could be easily addressed by just reconfiguring the layout of the room slightly. Meant I had to get ready on the floor in front of full length mirror.
The bathroom was old and tired and could do with a full refurb, but at the very least just some mould and limescale treatment! A new toilet seat and fixtures and fittings would go a long way too without having to rip it all out.
We tried the pool in the health club, had to go on a waiting list and the go back to room and get called. Understandable as they were at capacity but would’ve been helpful if there was a way to communicate this to guests prior to us traipsing down with 2 excited kids. Not the end of the world. Pool was small but ok. Changing rooms were dirty and had no individual changing areas, but the latter is what I’d expect from a hotel gym.
We had breakfast for £13, kids eat free. Decent buffet food but no one came to ask if we wanted anything from the a la carte menu.
Overall I’d stay again in the area, but the main draw was the pool but I’d probably not use it again so likely would try another hotel.
Check in was easy, room was as described, pool and spa facilities were good although the steam room and jacuzzi were out of action for a whole day. Parking was ample.
