Top West Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

8/10 Good

"Cool room and view and good location. Room was not cleaned well though"

The Dagny Boston

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My boyfriend and I stayed at The Dagny in early May, and we had such a wonderful experience! Even though Boston decided to give us rainy weather for most of our trip, the hotel made it easy to enjoy every minute. The location was perfect—we were able to walk to so many restaurants, shops, and attractions. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean, and had a modern feel while still fitting the charm of Boston. Our room was comfortable, quiet, and the bed was incredibly cozy after long days of exploring. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, making us feel right at home from check-in to check-out. Rain or shine, we had an amazing getaway, and The Dagny definitely played a big part in that. We would absolutely stay here again the next time we’re in Boston and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay!"
