Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Boston-Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, convenient location, friendly staff"

The Charles Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice. A bit spartan, with no couch in my suite. Just lots of chairs. Like 7 of them. Shower is exceptional. The room grew on me over my three night stay. Came to like it. Pillows are way too soft. All of them. No variety. The gym at this hotel is fantastic. Big, with lots of equipment. Jogging paths nearby on the Charles River is a big plus, as is prime location in Harvard Square. Common areas are exceptional as well, which serves to highlight the stiff quakerish quality of the decor in the rooms. Staff is attentive. But a bit removed and ensconced behind counters, it seemed."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Boston - Cambridge by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, comfortable and quiet. Fresh ground coffee 24/7 w available creamers. A nice breakfast bar, basic eggs, potatoes, meat, cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit. Breakfast bar is kept stocked as guests deplete the serving trays. Foods are refilled and fresh. Hotel is so clean! There’s a really cool gym across the street that is available to guests too. You have to sign out a key. I will stay here again on my next trip to Boston."
