Acceptable Stay with Noticeable Issues

clean gympeeling paintworklong wait
The leisure facilities were quite good. I used the gym. It was nice and clean.
The room definitely needs updating. I noticed lots of cracks, and the paint was peeling, particularly in the bathroom. I waited a long time to check in, and it also took a long time to get served at the bar. This was at 5 PM, so I didn't expect such a long wait.

ample spaceshort drivecute teamhigh parking fees
The family room offered ample space with three double beds. A large tv included netflix. the hotel location was easy to find, just off the a14. it was only a short drive to cambridge city centre! the team was very cute during our family trip.
The parking system charged per calendar day, not per 24 hours. I arrived late tuesday and left thursday morning! this resulted in unexpected high parking fees for a relatively short stay.
