Tranquilo y cómodo para viajar con coche
Pros:

El desayuno era bueno y las habitaciones también. Está un poco alejado del centro de Cambridge pero si vas con coche es más cómodo porque hay un amplio parking.

Cons:

El amplio parking no pertenece al hotel y cobran por aparcar.

Pros:

Clean and good breakfasts

Cons:

Dear team,
We stayed in your hotel early July and i want to express that this was not pleasant stay due to the fact that room was boiling hot. It was a room in the Conner, so the sun was making it so hot and unbearable. The climate control was not working showing 26 degree at midnight, window had a stopper and can be opened for 10cm only. Member of team gave us very loud fan . With the noise and heat we weren’t able to sleep.

Schoon. Fijne kamer. Goed bed. Lekkere douche. 8 minuten wandelen naar de bus voor Cambridge centrum.

Cons:

Je betaalt als gast voor het parkeren op hun terrein. Dat is wel vreemd
