Holiday Inn Express Cambridge West Cambourne by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel appears to be new. Everything is immaculately clean. The staff were very friendly especially Nathan who checked us in. Our room was a lot bigger than other hotels we’ve stayed in and could not fault it at all. It was clean, spacious and comfortable with a plenty of clean towels, tea and coffee making facilities. We had breakfast the next morning which was great with a full cooked breakfast, cereals, fruit and pastries. The location was great, easy to access and free parking. Overall a great hotel that we would stay in again should be visit the area"
