Recent reviews for Cambridge hotels
Here are the hotels our guests have recently reviewed
PROS: They accommodated our request for another room, and the room we settled on was great.CONS: We left a hairdryer in our original room, and it took days to retrieve it.
PROS: The hotel is fairly close to the center of town and is an easy walk to most everything you would want to see. The room we had was really comfortable and unique, not a chain hotel where all the rooms are the same. So that can be good and bad. I don't know what the other rooms were like but ours was really nice. The king bed was an actual US king size bed rather than UK kings which was a surprise. The bar was pretty neat also and we enjoyed a night cap there every night of our stay.CONS: There was a bit of a "city sewer" smell in the hallway leading to our room. It wasn't in our room though and we didn't complain but it probably needs to be taken care of. Probably a small repair so it isn't an ongoing thing just something that was going on while we were there....I hope.
