Where to start. We checked in and payed, then were told that the twin room that we had requested was not available. The person on reception was excellent and found us a family room with a discount for the inconvenience. So she gave us a refund which was very good. Has it was booked has B&B I asked about breakfast which started at 7:0 but as we had to be at the Papworth hospital by then we wouldn’t get any but we could have a bag to put fruit and muffins I that was ok. The room was clean sparkling white sheets and towels. The second bed was a bed settee which seemed to occupy the whole room when pulled down. I found the bedding to be very cold and didn’t warm up until two hours before we were up again. We ate in the hotel the food wasn’t up to much it was ok but not great. So all in all not great at all. The staff were kind and helpful. If we had have paid full price I would have been very disappointed as it was it was ok.

For its value, it’s great and only 10 mins drive to downtown. The staff was great but the only reason I did not give this hotel a five star is because our sofa bed was not prepared for us before we arrived. The host said the bed should have been pulled out, sheets and blankets made. We have to go to the lobby to ask for blankets and pillows. We booked for two adults and two children.

The property was to the standard expected. The room was clean and the check in process was made easy by a helpful employee. The parking was difficult with the volume of cars however it was included which was appreciated. We didn’t have breakfast in the morning but the coffee tasted a little funny.
