Holiday Inn Express Cambridge West Cambourne by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Cambridge West Cambourne by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Happy to have chosen this hotel to stay in. It’s clean and modern with lots of parking. I like the bathroom facilities ie the shower space, plenty of fluffy towels and good toiletries. Everything was new and up to date. The beds were comfortable and the room well laid out. I appreciated the chair and table as well as the storage spaces. Iron, hairdryer and extra pillows were available in the room. Finally, Ollie on reception was very helpful and friendly. He deserves a bonus for being so nice. 5 star stay all round."
