Holiday Inn Express Cambridge by IHG
Breakfast was good although large dessert spoons for cereal was weird. Staff were great, helpful and friendly. Rather thin walls in the room lead to some noise from neighbours.

Modern functional hotel set on a new housing estate. Clean comfortable rooms, high levels of cleanliness, dinner in the restaurant was good. Didn't try the spa so unable to comment.
