Simple hotel near station

The Cambridge Ibis is ideal if you arrive by train -- just a minute from the station. Typical Ibis decore, and I could not move the shower head although it was on a vertical rail. Bed quite firm but I slept well.

Convenient

Right next to the train station and bus stops, the Ibis is conveniently located to get into the historic centre. There are shops and restaurants nearby too so you don't have to leave the area either. Comfortable beds and a great breakfast too.

Everything was good except

Everything was good except they made us leave the lobby when we were eating outside food. I understand the lobby has a restaurant but the vegan options they had weren't prepared separately so they could easily be cross contaminated. My guest and I were eating food and talking when the rep came and told us we had to leave or go up to the room. This was not handled properly.

Perfectly accessible ibis. Next to Cambridge station. A few drinking/dining options near by. A little far from the city centre by foot. But public transportation is available outside the station. Rooms a little warm but other than that perfectly a acceptable.
