The only big missing item was that the property info, and the reservation, don't actually say where you are supposed to check in when you get there. If you don't know the British house system, you don't know that the Porter's Lodge is the place to check in to a college. I and about a dozen other, independent guests, all wandered around the property trying to figure out where to check in. You should have this information prominantly in your hotel listings, and you should send a message after people check in that tells them where to go when they arrive. ##### Kyle Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sigrid 8 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### sigrid Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ella 20 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Ella Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cambridge House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Fenners-Hotel.h9202402.Hotel-Information) > > [Addenbrookes Townhouse with Parking and sleeps 6 ; 5 mins to Papworth hospital](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Addenbrookes-Townhouse-With-Parking-5-Mins-To-Trumpington-Hospital-Sleeps-6.h32647827.Hotel-Information) > > [Nidus Flat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Nidus-Flat.h53777893.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Cumberland.h21659.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cambridge-Formerly-Known-As-The-Tamburlaine-Hotel.h17161972.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, St John's College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551417.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Trinity Hall - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551403.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Harvey Court - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551420.Hotel-Information) > > [The Dilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Dilly.h21538.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grand Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-The-Grand-Brighton.h6969.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > > [Turing Locke Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Turing-Locke.h68459935.Hotel-Information) > > [Business Park Lodge by Paymán Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Business-Park-Lodge-Peymans.h61466616.Hotel-Information) > > [Westminster College Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Westminster-College-Cambridge.h30551383.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information) > > [Gonville Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Gonville-Hotel.h6878.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fellows House Mews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-The-Fellows-House-Mews.h74587491.Hotel-Information) > > [Bridge View Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Bridge-View-Apartment.h44566125.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Cowan Court - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551387.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Homerton College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551435.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge University, Churchill College](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-University.h30551548.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Clare College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551413.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Tailored Stays - Victoria Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Tailored-Stays-Victoria-Road.h30212730.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-The-Fellows-House-Cambridge.h50706499.Hotel-Information) > > [Rectory Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Rectory-Farm.h4026576.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Brighton-Waterfront.h21983.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge University, King's College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-University.h30551510.Hotel-Information) ---
