“The hotel's prime advantage lies in its location, a short walk from Cambridge's center, which makes getting around effortless. The historic Victorian architecture adds character, while inside, the rooms are well-equipped for short stays. I was particularly intrigued by the wellness spa, an unusual amenity that enhances the hotel's appeal as a tranquil retreat.”
