Pros:

Location was good.
Bathroom and room was of decent size.
Toiletries were available.
Gave free toothpaste and comb when asked for. I think it shoulf not be asked for and should be available in the room for the guests as part of the package and not a bonus that you need to ask.

Cons:

The room wad chilled. I was turning the fan off and temperature down. But it went back to normal with a loud clicky sound every 20 mins. The sound and the chilled room did not let me rest for the night.
That pretty much killed the purpose of booking a hotel room for a tiring conference to relax.
There was no extension in the room to call reception.
The number present in the room to call on the reception did not work. And I had to go down to ask for toiletries.

Also while showering the hot water suddenly got very hot and burning on same setting and then hot got really chilled.
It was really bad experience for basic needs like showering.

Could hair the train going every hour as well.
In short I could not rest or relax at all.

Pros:

It was very handy to access Addenbrookes Hospital. We got food nights sleep and breakfast.
The night manager was very understanding.

Cons:

Unfortunately my son was taken ill quite suddenly within a couple of hours of being in the room. He is asthmatic but something triggered him which led to 10 days in hospital .

Zažádal jsem při rezervaci o dvě oddělené postele, ale byla jen jedna manželská s jednou dekou.
Pros:

Klid a předvídatelnost služeb, které hotel poskytuje.

Cons:

Snídaně stejné jako v ostatních hotelech tohoto řetězce. Malý výběr, žádná zelenina kromě rajčete.
