Top West Cambridge Hotel Reviews

citizenM Boston North Station

8/10 Good

"Third time staying here and everything is always great. Unfortunately my room this time had a very not clean bathroom area with lots of previous guests hair left around, making me question the cleaning. I will definitely be back again but not my favorite tume here out if my three stays. Helpful staff and easy check in. Along with a great location!"

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Boston's South End that's walking distance to many cafes and restaurants as well as easy access to public transit. I stayed in a Standard Queen with in-room bath on the mezzanine floor; the room was small, but comfortable and clean. There was minimal to no street noise, although on one of the nights, there was a private event at the bar attached to the hotel, and I could hear chatter from the lobby. There were water refill stations, a hot water dispenser, and microwave available in the common area for guest use, and the front desk staff offered to store refrigerated items. The vouchers for free coffee in the hotel cafe were a nice touch. Overall, I'd certainly stay here again the next time I'm visiting Boston."

Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was great. I also appreciated the convenient parking. Everything was well organized, and I truly enjoyed my experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers!"
