Great hotel in the heart of Cambridge. 10 mins walk from Colleges and tourist area. Smart, functional hotel with good service and full English breakfast along with cereal, canned juices, tea, coffee, cheeses, freshly made eggs by the chef, etc etc (but no eggs benedict!). Excellent air-conditioning. Expected higher water pressure in the shower. Very comfortable stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Our room was super comfortable and clean with everything we needed for a 2 night stay. The staff at this hotel are very friendly and helpful. Due to its great location to restaurants, etc., We didn't eat at the hotel. We did have a few drinks in the bar, which is very comfortable, but found that the drinks were fairly expensive. We parked the car (they have valet service) and walked everywhere. Superb location.

The staff were very good. The housekeeping was good but it kind of bothered me that they didn't change the drinking glasses every day. The tub/shower was good but it was a bit elevated to get into for a person with hip issues. The breakfast was good.

The staff members are very attentive, especially to my furry friend and they made sure he had a dog bowl and bed in the room. It was our first time away with my 5 year old labradoodle and it was a relaxed experience.
