Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Hotel in need of some moderisation, simple things would improve the look and feel such as upgraded lighting in the room / bathroom and some usb sockets. Bed extremely noisy, and bottles being emptied into a skip at midnight and again at 0700 resulted in limited sleep. Only one biscuit and one set of toiletries provided despite a booking for two, all added to the annoyance and disappointment when spending £250 for a single night stay. Poor value for money, there are better options in Cambridge.
