Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay."

AC Hotel by Marriott Boston Cambridge

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and clean when I arrived. The staff were friendly. The breakfast was a little pricey. Adding bacon or any thing else that wasn’t on the breakfast bar was an extra charge. They were not clear about validating the parking ticket before you leave to go in and out."

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."
