Quality Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and comfortable."

Comfort Inn Cambridge - Highway 401

8/10 Good

"Disappointing to see how many cigarette butts scatter the area. This is more of a disappointment towards the smokers but maintenance should clean that up and make the smokers will follow suit and use the butt containers. The outdoor patio area was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed sitting out there. Went for a concert and happy to see most of the other guests were also attending. The property can definitely use a good deep cleaning. The ice machine was grimy and i definitely wouldn't have trusted to not catch something from it! After seeing the shape of that we decided to skip the breakfast."

10/10 Excellent
