The hotel is average and a fair price for Cambridge but the a above comments might make me look for another hotel next t
Pros:

Good if coming by train but not if coming by car as parking is very expensive particularly adjacent to the hotel. We had to walk quite a way to park. In the heat! Plus a fair walk into the city after that.
Coffee bar was a useful addition

Cons:

I didn’t like the half an hour wait to check in. One of the staff had to keep leaving the check in desk to go and find people’s bags etc
