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.

While the room was clean and the registration clerk was friendly, the property is on the shabby side. It was a very bare bones experience. Water pressure was a trickle. Fine for a quick stop for budget travelers. We appreciated the free parking!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff very lovely. The hotel was clean and quiet despite being near the road. The hotel needs general updating. It was nice to have a garden area but we could not sit out there as there were nettles and the chairs needed cleaning. It would be good to have a breakfast option. The restaurant that was advertised nearby was a bit disappointing if you are looking for a full English type breakfast but got free hot drinks if you mention the hotel! The hotel is generally fine if you are only there for a day or two. The lovely staff make the hotel.

Quaint place, needs a bit of TLC though. The staff were very friendly and attentive and we appreciated the short cancellation period during these turbulent times. Everything was clean but the rooms could definitely do with some freshening up.
