    "No restaurant, not stay"
    renovation work is taking place that means no restaurant and limited parking due to builders taking the space. interestingly night cost is increasing during this period and this is not pleasing to the point I am moving to a different hotel within the area
    "Great spot for exploring local attractions"
    Stopped by on a visit to Audley end house (I do recommend), restaurant being shut was a shame but I found a nice Italian place in town for my dinner. The staff I met were friendly and chatty and I appreciated the free parking. I must come back when I go to the nearby museum of Duxford.
    "Nice Airshow -Shame about the hotel !"
    My Wife booked in February a book now /pay later option for a hotel & breakfast & Evening Meal & Evening Drinks for my 60th with a trip to nearby Duxford for the Airshow in September. Not advised before arrival that the restaurant was closed (July?) the receptionist just brushed off our concerns. Receptionist was replacing lightbulbs near the lift whilst buzzers and small warning alarms went off behind his desk - obviously, those " alarms " were not important. Hotel is 20 minutes on foot to the nearest restaurant (however Aldi over the road allowed us “room salad & cold chicken pieces” as an alternative meal for our room the following night) Complementary Breakfast offered exactly as per previous reviewer. Oh, the Airshow was Nice!
    "Not a pleasant experience at all"
    Not the happiest time at a hotel. The restaurant was under reconstruction so a complimentary ‘continental breakfast’ was offered. This turned out to be a packaged croissant or pain au chocolat with nothing to put it on or to put on it - no butter, jam or any such and not even a paper plate or plastic knife to use. The coffee machine dispensed excellent coffee, which was the one saving grace. The bed was good, as we expect from Premier Inn, but simple things, like replacing the soap dispenser when the top had gone completely rusty, let down the bathroom. Most annoyingly when we returned at 21.30 after an evening meal that we had to drive to, (there being no restaurants in walking distance from the hotel), we found that the disabled parking bays had a number of tradesmen’s vehicles parked in them, so there was nowhere for us to park. The rest of the car park was full so we had to park around the back of the hotel on double yellow lines.
    "Positive review"
    Sadly restaurant was closed due to a refurbishment starting but staff was excellent and on top a 24 hrs free Coffee / tea bar was open for guests
