This is the best place to stay if you are in cambridge for the day and want to stay for another but don't have enough money! It is our families go to motel in Cambridge WI! The gas station staff are so friendly! The caretaker (Eric was his name as he introduced himself) was beyond helpful and an over-all amazing person!
