British new build corporate hostelry at its most typical.
Pros:

Room spacious and well appointed

Cons:

Leisure centre was dreadful - staff indifferent to requests and spa staff "gone home early today" despite calling to ensure. No control over behaviour in pool - people drunk or drugged doing foul things. Staff indifferent

Breakfast was muddled and uninspiring (think cold fried eggs and portion controlled jam "no marmalade, difficult to source now").

Sent careful message to Manager who ignored it.

Good facility that appeared to be poorly managed.
Pros:

Food was good quality

Cons:

Some staff made us feel like a nuisance to them, not a guest. Breakfast was farcically disorganised.

We enjoyed the stay.
Pros:

Spacious room, a table and chairs, bath and shower are separate,

Cons:

A slightly warmer and more relaxed approach from the reception staff would enhance the experience. I hope they are well supported in their roles.

Pros:

The kind staff at the desk (taller lady) upgraded me to a penthouse which was very appreciated. An amazing room, amazing experience, couldn’t fault it at all. Morrisons over the road for anything you need and not far into Cambridge.

Cons:

Can’t really think of anything to put here!

Pros:

Modern and for a conference event- great facilities

Cons:

Was given a disabled assistance room which had many “help” cords which are always a risk an seem to have been overcharged the room rate- which I will take up with the hotel

Pros:

The rooms was beautiful and location

Cons:

The chlorine in the pool and hot tub was far too much. It’s tarnished my partners silver jewellery and removed nail varnish and left us both with very sore eyes and rashes on our skin

I was with my daughter and we both loved it.
Pros:

Spacious and clean room including drinks. Dinner was very delicious. Full English breakfast was great.

Cons:

Swimming pool a bit small and we were unfortunate to meet some people who were not very tolerant of children in the pool.

Great start, but the service is very poor. Communication from the hotel needs significant improvement. At the moment, it
