Excellent full English breakfast with great coffee and some fruit juices. Very cheerful and friendly staff. Booking in was easy and parking was £6 per day, paid inside reception. (Only rip-off with this hotel chain.)

This is the budget end of the Holiday Inn chain but it doesn't feel too budget. The check in was stand out in terms of friendliness and efficiency and there was a good choice for breakfast with plenty of food available. It was very busy on the Sunday morning but the team kept on top of it, turning tables around and keeping food stocked. The hotel itself is well located, with good parking (although you have to pay for it but there is a discount code provided by the hotel). It's possible to walk into Cambridge from there though it's a cheap Uber ride to get back. We've visited a few times now and will definitely consider again should we be in the area.

Breakfast was good although large dessert spoons for cereal was weird. Staff were great, helpful and friendly. Rather thin walls in the room lead to some noise from neighbours.
