Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately, I was disappointed with several aspects of my stay. I was charged £30 more than my sister-in-law for the same room and package, with the only explanation given being a 30-minute difference in our booking times. This seemed unreasonable and left me feeling frustrated. Directions on where to park could also be clearer. In addition, the kettle in the room kept breaking down, and the TV was faulty and stuck on one channel. These issues affected the comfort and convenience. The positive experience was Genni from reception and breakfast staff who were professional, friendly, and helpful.

Functional and fine stay

New hotel, clean. Just a bit of a functional but flat reception when we arrived. Train station obviously super convenient, just a shame that Cambridge Station (the next stop) is so far out of town - 15 mins walk. We ended up getting an Uber into town, train back.
