“The hotel's central Cambridge location is undeniably a plus, placing guests within easy reach of the city's historic attractions. I noted that the gym access adds value for fitness-minded travelers, though some aspects of the guest experience appear inconsistent. While the hotel accommodates both business and leisure, I think there's room to refine the execution and attention to detail.”

The safe in my room was locked. I couldn't use it. When I went to sleep. I found someone else's socks under the duvet. I couldn't change TV channels either, maybe the remote control ran out of batteries.
