Cambridge Suites Hotel

Cambridge Suites Hotel

8/10 Good
"The 1 bedroom suite was very comfortable and clean. Minor issues were address by staff immediately and to our complete satisfaction. The bed and pillows were also very comfortable. The hot breakfast was good but was lacking the meat to accompany the scramble eggs ( no ham, bacon or sausage) and that I didn’t understand. Finally we enjoyed the use of the rooftop patio on a beautiful warm and sunny early evening which was great! Thank you to all your staff for the friendly and professional manner in which we were treated. We will definitely be back."

For those in search of distinctive experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is higher than expected, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you find the best deal.
