Pros:

Great location to park and walk back to Cambridge centre or the interesting shops on Mill Road - helpful staff

Cons:

Found shower had leaked on the evening-so toilet area was soggy underfoot but we reported it on leaving next morning- had a problem connecting to wi fi to start irrespective of having stayed there many times before and generally comes up no problem-reception helpful in advising though.
