Top Kendall Square Hotel Reviews

The Dagny Boston

Boston Marriott Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel location was convenient to restaurants and offices at Kendall Square. The room was clean, and bathroom was modern with nice features. The staff was friendly and helpful. As of August 2026 there is a lot of construction going on across the street, but the room was still relatively quiet. If you get up at or before 7 AM, no problem. The Valet parking was very helpful and I would recommend you purchase this pricey option. I would highly recommend this hotel."
