Not sure if I would return for the cost I did not expect any issues!
Pros:

Location is ideal for central Cambridge. We booked this hotel as a treat - we usually go for cheaper options

Cons:

The room had not been cleaned properly - rubbish found under both beds and dust on shelves. The fan didnt work in the bathroom and the water did not drain when showering.
Offered a discount for issues but hotel then charged me twice - the original fee and the reduced one. Took 5 days to get money back

Wonderful stay.
Pros:

The feel of the hotel was great, the location fabulous and the room lovely - the bed was awesomely soft and big.

Cons:

I'm not keen that when staying at a hotel you have to pay to park in their hotel car park. This was really disappointing. If not your car park offer discounts. A further £27 a night - this reduced my score...sorry!

I also dislike that hotels are getting like cheap airlines and you don't even get a breakfast included these days...even that's an extra cost.

And no bath :-(
