This Hotel was the hotel we ended up at after a beautiful day in Cambridge shopping, we were met by friendly receptionists who had a lot to do as we were a full coach load!!!! they were informative and friendly, we went to our pre allocated room which was on the ground floor a little chilly when we 1st went in but the electric radiator soon warmed it up lovely, the rooms were very basic but very clean!!!!! lovely hot bath water available all of our stay, we had baths got ready for our evening meal which was held in the conferance suite just a short walk across the car park, here it looked lovely, we had a three course special Christmas meal, the service was amazing the quality of the food was Brilliant and the staff were all very nic and friendly!!! we danced the night away to the DJ and everyone had a great time!!! bed time the beds were very comfy and we had great nights sleep before departing we were all served breakfast again in the conference suite, its was beautiful everything cooked to perfection, the food tasted amazing you can have what you wanted cereals, fruit, yogurt, cooked breakfast, toast with jam marmalade anything it was great, again lovely kind friendly staff met us smiling and looked very happy to be working there, We would give this hotel a big massive thumbs up for what they did for us,

Stayed for 4 nights with work. Appeared clean at first. First noticed stale smell going up the stairs, room smelled of sweaty feet ! Horrendously noisy as only 15 feet from A1 which makes the room vibrate with heavy trucks. Ridiculous wait for service at breakfast and / or dinner / bar as normally only one maybe two staff between reception, bar and restaurant. Food very average considering high prices - particular favourite was the breakfast coffee cafetiere full of instant coffee !!

Would not recommend, having looked into it better quality available nearby for same price.

Stayed at Holiday Inn Garden Court A1 Sandy-Bedford for one night prior to an early morning flight from Stansted Airport.

We were warmly greeted at reception and we were in our room within minutes. The room was dated but spacious and well equipped including TV with a handful of channels, tea and coffee facilities, an incredibly comfortable bed and a miniature sofa bed that would not look out of place in a Doll's House.

The bathroom was large, a few toiletries provided however the shower did not have much power. We did not stay long enough at the hotel to use the restaurant.

For the price paid the hotel was fine and even though the rooms were extremely dated the bed was comfortable and there were good facilities included. Would stay again if in the area again.

We have been using Holiday Inn for some time, and the Bedrooms, albeit clean, were outdated to the extent the 'Corporate Blue' used in other facilities as far back as 2000, were not in evidence here. The rooms were tired, old, bed was soft and old, the furniture was old stained and should really be in a skip.

The duty manager was question and was very helpful, especially as far as the recommendation for a great Indian restaurant, however this lady was on her own, or seemed to be a lot of the time, trying to deal with front desk and bar at the same time.

We decided not to have breakfast as you were shuffled to a function room outside of the hotel

Tired and in serious need of update

In the recent months I have now stayed at a number of holiday Inn's and beginning to become concerned that the Customer is having to make do with old and tired properties!!
