Excellent stay near Cambridge
helpful staff spacious car park gluten-free area
The staff was very helpful. They quickly responded to requests. The hotel features a spacious car park. I found the menu provided several choices, including interesting options beyond basic fare. The gluten-free area and toaster at breakfast impressed me a lot.
The beer selection at the bar was limited.

usb ports electric heater
the breakfast buffet was okay (it included a waffle machine!).
i was annoyed that the room's usb ports didn't work. it was also unpleasantly cold, and the only heating option was an ineffective electric heater. the bed was uncomfortably hard too.

adequate but with issues
sticky cutlery bad coffee
the breakfast was included but it was underwhelming i noticed items were frequently missing such as bacon. marmalade could only be dispensed directly onto a plate a minor inconvenience. coffee tasted particularly bad the cutlery was sometimes sticky. these issues detracted from the overall experience.
