Very upset to find out there is no proper wash basin in the bathroom with no mirror available. Tiny hand basin to wash face. This is disappointing not to have basic requirements on a motel room. Long delay in getting hot water.

Beds comfy, lovely clean towels & linen, rest is grim. Could be lovely units but as they are ....all very tired and old. Bathroom with mold round basin, no fan, dirty. Base of shower stainless steel so clean and plenty of hot water. Thick cobwebs hanging from internal window. No side lights, all in need of repainting. Outside area needs TLC.  The area is quiet and handy for Cambridge.  This was a last minute panic booking during school holidays and most places were booked, wish I'd read all the reviews.Got home to find a cockroach in my case!!!!

The units are tiny but quite adequate for somewhere to eat and sleep after busy day with outside activities. Communal kitchen is excellent. Hot water was marginal in unit but very hot in communal kitchen. Would stay there again, it is priced for what it is.
