A convenient location with spacious rooms, good breakfast and helpful staff.
Pros:

Convenient location for visiting Cambridge or Ely. The family room is very spacious. The children enjoy being able to use the pool. There’s always a good selection of food at breakfast, so even the fussiest of eaters can find something they like. The staff are always friendly, courteous and helpful. The free parking for IHG members is a bonus.

Cons:

This is a personal preference, the beds could be softer.

Fantastic staff and location, great value
Pros:

Excellent location for visiting people in north Cambridge. Truly fantastic staff, really made us feel welcome and looked after us and our 1 year old. We couldn't have asked for more from them. Swimming pool is such a bonus! Food in restaurant was perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

If I'm nit picking, Bathrooms a little dated- but they were spotless. More coffee in room would have been good!

Cons:

Charge for parking unless you sign over rights to all of your personal information and predatory sales pressures on loading up room cards with money. If you refuse they charge more for things and cut of normal payment methods after certain times.
