A good hotel and ideal for visiting Cambridge
Pros:

Booked through the members App at the last minute following a bad experience at another nearby hotel
There was a slight delay in locating the booking but Cathie and Emily looked after us with a complimentary drink and cauliflower wings which were delicious
We had a large family room with welcoming air conditioning on the hottest days of the year
Breakfast was plentiful with a good variety of choices and staff attentive and efficient
From good service to knowledgeable tips on getting into Cambridge (about 15 minutes on the nearby Park and Ride) we had a great stay and would certainly stay again if visiting Cambridge
If venturing out of the hotel there are some great pubs and restaurants in nearby Histon

Very disappointing and poorly handled situation.
Pros:

Location suited us

Cons:

The air conditioning was broken and replaced by one useless fan. The room conditions were unbearable as this was during the heatwave!
We had actually chosen this hotel because bedrooms are air conditioned.
Had we been advised about the problem earlier in the day we would have not stayed and requested a refund.
