The staff were excellent and very accommodating. They allowed us to check in early and they kept our cases after check out so we could stay in Ely until our train later in the day. The breakfast room waitresses were especially nice.

It was a great location for a concert at the Cathedral. It was nice to be able to park on site. We found the staff friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the evening meal we had in the restaurant and thought the prices were very reasonable.
