Top Norman Cross Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough

Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough

8/10 Good
"The reception team were incredibly helpful, and showed clear understanding of their job role with professionalism. The swimming pool area was well maintained, and added value to the stay. One area of work that could be looked into is around the restaurant, which is officially open until 21:30, but a small group of hotel guests were turned away at 21:10. Maybe some clear guidelines for all concerned."
