Convenient Stay Near Addenbrooke's

hospital proximityhelpful stafffree parkingconvenient location
I stayed here due to an appointment at Addenbrooke's Hospital, and its proximity was ideal. The hotel is a short walk to several shops down the road. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful . The hotel offers free parking behind the building (a real plus!).
The bathroom could use some updates as it felt a little dated.
