Liked: Cleanliness
The room was excellent value for money compared to anything else. It is tired, but very clean, in a great spot and the staff are lovely.
Great place to stay. Chinese restaurant in the same building. Some parking out back. We were just passing through. Many restaurants and shopping mall just down the street.
Have stayed here many times before, could do with a little updating, modernisation etc, but apart from that, clean quiet and comfortable. We would absolutely stay there again!
On arriving it didn’t look inviting and I was a bit disappointed, but my room was bright clean and very nice and quiet, staff were very helpful to my needs, would stay again.
Nice comfortable room,clean but does look a little tired,furnishings were all in working order and the shower was nice,we would stay again

No AC which is fine and to be expected but hard during the heat wave. The area is a little shabby but the room was quiet and clean that it was a comfortable respite after a busy day and evening in Cambridge.
