Holiday Inn Express Cambridge by IHG
Excellent full English breakfast with great coffee and some fruit juices. Very cheerful and friendly staff. Booking in was easy and parking was £6 per day, paid inside reception. (Only rip-off with this hotel chain.)

Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa
The hotel itself is exceptional, the cleanliness, the food, the staff and the rooms are all fantastic. The gym however was very underwhelming, the pictures make it look great but it’s very worn tired
