What guests think

At Best Western Plus Cambridge Hotel, travellers often praise the friendly, accommodating staff, 401 access, and family-friendly pool and hot tub, while also noting dated rooms, maintenance shortcomings, and occasional issues with elevators, hot-water supply, and noise.

Cleanliness feedback varies, with some spotless stays but repeated reports of musty odours, worn or moldy bathrooms, and a few bedbug incidents. Breakfast is generally appreciated for variety and the 24/7 lobby coffee machine, though several guests find items repetitive, cold, or seating limited at busy times. Value for money feels uneven to some given mixed condition and maintenance needs. Expect a family-oriented stay in an older property with variable upkeep.

There was no water in the morning bathrooms, showers and coffee. While the hotel had no control over that (water main break) the staff was aware of it and as far as I know never made an announcement to us. We had to find out for ourselves. I think they should offer a free night for us who had to leave earlier than planned because of the conditions.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. It started with great staff at check-in. Mavis and JoAnne were efficient, pleasant and just fun. They really made us feel welcome. The rooms were good-sized, beds comfortable and everything was clean. The pool was great - warm water, clean (despite the heavy use) and always had a good supply of towels. The hot tub was perfect. Aside from great staff, pool and clean rooms, the hotel excelled at the small things that make for a great stay - keurigs in the room, coffee available in the lobby at all times and a solid breakfast. It's amazing how much good coffee (both in room and in lobby) contribute to a comfortable stay. Just great.

Coffee was great! I chose this place for the free breakfast. The pool and hot tub were a plus. The elevator was dead slow some times and we took the stairs down from the 7th floor The bathroom needed more lighting, the toilet kept running. Over $200 is a lot for a room like that but that seems to be the cost of travel.

The Breakfast was standard hotel however it was basically the same thing everyday. The pool and hot tub were awesome, they were open til 11 pm. Which meant people traveling without children could enjoy a peaceful and relaxing evening. Overall nice place to stay close to the highway and every store and restaurant imaginable.

We checked in quite late; well past 5 pm. Got payment and deposit done quickly, but had to wait 15 minutes to get to room because elevator systems were done (1 Stuck on GL; doors wouldn't open) but the single working elevator took several minutes to test. This whole event just adding plenty more length to two guys who just wanted to sleep. I didn't dare use elevator to smoke outsise; so at least that was a gain. Clerk at checkin very apologetic and did everything she could.

Had a room booked here. There was a strong chemical smell that could not be removed, even with airing out the room for a while. Our bathtub also had mould in it. Safe to say, we checked out almost immediately and booked a different hotel nearby. This is the first time I have ever had to do that. The staff was excellent and helpful, but the property itself leaves much to be desired. Would not return.

This is an old hotel that has kind staff. The lobby area has been made nice. It is located right off the highway in a high car traffic area, right by the mall and many big box stores. It is not really a pedestrian area. Some of the tilework in the washroom was chipped and browning. Free parking. The sheets were cotton but the bedspread was polyester. We had a first floor room, which had an additional door to the parking lot, like a motel. Which was convenient but it also meant that we could hear car noise and car doors closing late at night. Also being on the first floor we could hear chatter in the lobby. I'd recommend asking for a higher floor if you want quiet. The pool and whirlpool were in good shape and get lots of light. It's a bigger pool than most. There are single stall washrooms in the pool, no change rooms. Towels provided. The free breakfast was satisfactory. Real drip coffee, a latte machine, some warm food: wrinkly sausages, box egg scramble, hashbrown circles - which would have been better earlier in the morning. Cereal, toast, muffins, waffles that could be reheated in the toaster, little yogurts, juice. Yeah pretty wide selection for included breakfast. It's just a 15 minute drive on the highway to Kitchener so we stayed here. It was a good choice for taking children to swim.

I had a reservation booked through Expedia. When I arrived after midnight with my children after hours of driving, I was told there were no rooms and they didn’t know I was coming. Very frustrating. They did refund the room 5 to 7 days later, but that didn’t make up for the inconvenience of having to find a hotel at 1 o’clock in the morning with my children.

Check in was great. Except we were not told of any housekeeping procedures. Apparently if you want clean towels you put your dirty towels in the hallway. We left mid morning not knowing this rule. We came back from our event to wet towels. They did bring us clean towels after I called to the front desk. I don’t disagree with this idea but patrons should be told at check in as well as there should be signage in the room to let people know. I was told this was from Covid procedures. We have stayed in at least 7 hotels since Covid and have never encountered this rule. Very disappointing. We will not stay here again

At check-in we were not given any information about the pool facilities or housekeeping. Housekeeping did not come during our multiple night stay and there was no indication that it was not daily service. We used room items and placed used towels into the bathtub as is customary but housekeeping never came to replenish anything, and we didn't know any different. There were no cards or signs in the room explaining this and we were not advised at check-in.

Hello Horrible experience at check in. We got our keys room and when we went to the room we couldn't come in. The keys weren't working. We went back to the reception and got new keys. We went back to the room the keys were working however the room had a guest. Very uncomfortable experience. We went back to the reception and they realized they assigned us to a wrong room. 😕😕

I’ve stayed at this hotel twice. The staff are consistently helpful and responsive, and I really appreciated having an all-day coffee machine. However, the property itself feels dated. On both visits my shower wasn’t working properly and needed repair. The breakfast is very basic, with limited options and served on disposable plates and cutlery. Housekeeping must be requested in advance, and if you miss the schedule, your room won’t be cleaned until the next day. Summary: Excellent staff and coffee service, but the aging facilities, limited breakfast, and inconvenient housekeeping make for a less-than-ideal stay.
