Great but one glitch

Poor service in bar and room service as the time the kitchen was closing was approaching. We wanted to order, were given menus and told the staff would be there promptly. No, this did not happen. Room service was not available for the full menu, unlike advertised on the in room menu. A blot on otherwise excellent service and friendliness.

A nice quiet space int be enter of bustling Cambridge. Room was clean and well maintained. Nice breakfast with good choice! Didn’t eat in the evening or use the bar. Car parking is easy although a little expensive, but so is parking everywhere in Cambridge. A great location to walk out from.
