A perfect welcome to Cambridge

I was really impressed with this hotel. We received a perfect welcome and Candice who welcomed us was brilliant and so knowledgable about the local area. The food served here was amazing. The breakfast buffet was always well stocked and fresh. I genuinely don't have anything bad to say about it.

Its a good location if you have a vehicle with you; otherwise its a bit difficult to get there. That said, there is a really nice trail nearby to get to and from the city. Good hotel to stay in for a day or so. Very comfortable beds and nice side lighting. Could do with some maintenance though because something in the restroom kept leaking. I ended up waking up to a puddle of water on my floors.

The hotel staff asked me the booking reference number at the time of check in, which I can’t find it in the app and emails. However, she can find the booking under my name in the system. The cleanliness of my room was my expectation and it was my critical concern. The breakfast was good enough with various choices to enjoy
