Good location, friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable and clean room. More staff needed and issues with shortage of food items at breakfast. A pet friendly hotel but dogs should not be permitted on chairs in the bar/restaurant.

It was a very busy weekend , lots of people milling around reception. Breakfast had no hash browns , no coffee cups , no cutlery sadly. Ate my brekkie with a spoon. Other than that all was well.Room did acommodate three of us , but at a push! All else was great.Staff were lovely, bed was comfy. Helpful information sheets at reception about surrounding area.

Great hotel

The hotel appears to be new. Everything is immaculately clean. The staff were very friendly especially Nathan who checked us in. Our room was a lot bigger than other hotels we’ve stayed in and could not fault it at all. It was clean, spacious and comfortable with a plenty of clean towels, tea and coffee making facilities. We had breakfast the next morning which was great with a full cooked breakfast, cereals, fruit and pastries. The location was great, easy to access and free parking. Overall a great hotel that we would stay in again should be visit the area

Beautiful hotel, fantastic location. Staff so kind and it’s really good being dog friendly. Great parking. Would have given it 5 stars but breakfast that’s included wasn’t nice so we never bothered 2 out of 3 days. Overall I’d highly recommend

Typical Holiday Inn Express, get what you expect

Good location for Cambridge and the general area. Plenty of free parking. All rooms the same, typical Holiday Inn place with (fairly bland, let’s be honest) buffet breakfast, bar etc. Friendly team but a bit of confusion on our room, easily resolved. Letdown was the room air conditioning which struggled in the 30° summer heat, poor output noisy fan etc. Reported to reception on departure. Otherwise all ok and served our stay well for 2-nights

Friendly staff. Room very good. Accessible shower room the best we've ever stayed in. The only issue was the lack of suitable chairs for disabled people in the reception and "lounge" area. Chairs too low.

GREAT DEAL!

Definitely a great deal! The rooms are clean, and the hotel is a quick bus ride to Cambridge City Centre. The hotel staff - especially Ajay and Oliver - provided exceptional service! The breakfast is a generous buffet. I would definitely return. Mike F.

Great find, and I’ll be back

Really impressed with this quite new build. They have all the facilities you need for recreational stays, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Good location for nearby Cambridge and Duxford for example, or it will be when they have finished rebuilding the A428. Now I’ve found it - I’ll be back!
