YOU can’t really go wrong with a Holiday Inn as a handy, cheaper alternative.

Read on to find out how to check-in for an easy stay.

Where is the Holiday Inn?

Just off the M11 motorway, but car this is an easy stop-off for the night. Plus there is a free car park.

Cambridge city centre is an easy drive, and Stansted Airport is just 40 minutes away if you need somewhere to stay before an early flight (although that is still quite far).

What is the hotel like?

A convenient 161-room hotel is what you expect, with a touch more. The Holiday inn has a modern, with a well-equipped gym with posh Peloton bikes, spa, pool, and outdoor play area.

What is there to do there?

There is lots to do on a rainy day enjoying the lobby bar or hitting up the hot tub and sauna. But other than that, there’s not much to do on a sunny day.

You can drive 20 minutes into Cambridge City Centre where there is plenty to do and lots of sightseeing. 

What is there to eat and drink there?

Breakfast is available until 11 am on weekends, which is a nice touch as you don’t need to choose between a fry-up and a well-earned lie-in.

The restaurant does heart British grub such as burgers, nachos, and salads, and these are just some of the options. 

Save room for the chocolate brownie and berry cheesecake desserts.

What are the rooms like?

A penny-saving price starts at £89, or £99 with breakfast for rooms – click here.

The rooms are very spacious, and the beds are huge, plus the mini bar and tea station which will ensure a good night’s sleep.

We slept on a roadside, ground-floor room and it was very quiet, thanks to the long driveway. 

Plus, perfect for all you business folks as there is a desk to set out your workstation for the evening.

Is the Holiday Inn family-friendly?

Yes. There are large enough rooms and beds.

Is there access for guests with disabilities?

There are accessible guest rooms with grab bars and wheelchair compliant. It is available on request so feel free to contact the Holiday Inn.
