Good stay
It was very nice place. Walking distance from Cambridge city. Maybe too far for the people who wants to see the centre, but it was worth the money and breakfast included.

The stay was excellent. The biggest fault with this property was the overnight parking if it wasn’t for the staff the stay would have been a disaster it was stressful enough as it was.

Hospital stay
My wife went into Addenbrooks for brain surgery and wanted me to be nearby. Although this wasn’t the cheapest hotel it was in fairly easy walking distance to the hospital. When I got there the receptionist asked what my stay was for and I told her she waved the parking fee and also told me that they do a special rate for people staying and going to the hospital. My room was very comfortable and the air conditioning came in very handy as it was so hot that week. The free breakfast was amazing and plentiful. I really enjoyed my stay although the circumstances could have been different. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Very friendly and helpful. Thank you again.
