United Kingdomlocation good/ breakfast not worth the 15.00 pound each drinks bit pricey at bar spa etc great we stayed at the cambrige one a month ago the same room had sofa etc in room this one didnt overhaull its ok for a nights stay
United KingdomThe hotel was fine. Very clean and comfortable. I missed breakfast but I'm sure it was good. We were there for a wedding nearby so it was more than adequate for what we needed. Great value for money. Great showers. Only downside was no lift (if you have much luggage, or are less able bodied, request a room downstairs).
