Comfort Inn Cambridge
Breakfast was good, staff was friendly and helpful, but the hotel did not have an elevator, was not aware of it. Had to carry the luggage upstairs.

Cambridge Hotel and Conference Centre
Nice rooms updated fairly recently. Hallways and elevator were in good condition too. All staff are extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. Would happily stay here again. Also, having a Nespresso machine in the room is 100x better than the typical hotel coffeemaker.
