Top East Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Encore Boston Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the place I panorama the 25th floor the view is amazing the room was outstanding all the staff was accommodating and I want a few bucks on top of it. Good time"

citizenM Boston Back Bay

8/10 Good

"Room was pretty small. I would guess our king bed fit in a 160 sq ft (tops!) room. We barely had space to put our two large roller duffle bags. I thought the description said there was a kitchen, but that wasn’t the case. It only had a very small fridge. I had to climb over hubs every time I wanted to get out of bed. And yes, we had the option of sleeping with our heads toward the window, but watching the TV would’ve been awkward for at least one of us. Windows are not thick. We were on the 5th floor and could hear every siren and roaring motor while in the room. Boston’s a very urban city, so imagine how noisy that is. Maid service is once every three days, so we had it once. We paid a premium when we ordered food and drinks while hanging out in the 2nd floor lounge. The one good thing about this hotel is that the location is excellent."

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

10/10 Excellent

"Wow, 5 Year Anniversary trip with my wife! The Omni Seaport did not disappoint, from location to the airport to the Champagne and Chocolate Strawberries on arrival to help celebrate, My wife was truly impressed! The bar selection and food were also excellent, every bartender we encountered greeted us with a smile and always had a drink choice ready for recommendation. Will be back to the Omni Seaport! Thank you From the Nack’s In Texas"

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"On te good side: Very clean, large and modern (well refreshed) room. The bed super ok. The zone is good as well. The one first lady was very helpful, the other people on staff, they are ok but it could be better. On the so-so side: That was not a breakfast. On the airplane, the quality is better. Clearly they give it just to be on paper as marketing attraction. Just don’t wake up early for that, it’s not worth it. Some noise during the night from the pipes, I assume is as much as you could change on that building. Overall, except the breakfast it’s a good choice."
