Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Such helpful kind staff, the building does seem a little dated. But the room smelled great, was clean and very pretty property. I will definitely stay there again."

AC Hotel by Marriott Boston Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Would absolutely stay again. Hotel is very conveniently located near a T station (8min walk through a well lit park) and right off the highway. You can take a 15m walk to really good local restaurants and a crazy good ice cream shop! Or drive, parking wasn’t too bad in Arlington. The hotel was very clean, parking was a breeze and the receptionist helped us sign up for rewards that got us free parking. Speaking of which the staff was very friendly. Lobby areas had a lot of seating if you’re waiting for a ride or you DoorDash dinner! We don’t drink but there was a bar that I believe served food as well. Didn’t try the breakfast but it looked quite good. The pool is pretty small but probably fun for guests with little ones. Gym had what I needed for vacation workouts. Overall I’d absolutely stay here again, I’d much rather pay $100’s less and catch the T to go anywhere I wanted saving that $$ for activism and great Boston food! Great staff, VERY clean and safe. Will be back!"

Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Cambridge
