Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

The Revolution Hotel

8/10 Good

"Enjoy hotel - nice location - a vibe - mostly shared bathroom down the hall but individual shower rooms and not that bad to deal with"

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

10/10 Excellent

"Omni was a great place to stay, within walking distance from both the Silver Line from the airport and to the Black Falcon cruise port. Every staff member was wonderful, helpful and generous. The place is huge, and gorgeous. On our return after our cruise, they let us pay a small fee to hold our luggage so we could visit Boston until our flight later in the day. The food and drinks were good also. I would highly recommend it and would absolutely stay there again."

Encore Boston Harbor

8/10 Good

"I would have given 5+ stars. Best room I've ever had and I travel a lot. Property is beautiful, food was good, staff pleasant, etc. The reason for the 4 stars: 1 - hotel emailed about week before we were to be there and said all amenities may not be available (true, not all restaurants were open, no room service) and beware of picketing in front of property (employees were on strike); 2 - i stayed on the Harbor side 23 floor and we could still hear them beating drums late at night; 3 - it took 3 calls, 2 days and a visit to front desk to have someone to fix the TV (couldn't see the Cowboys lose) Other than that it would have been the Perfect anniversary. You would think the property would have given a voucher, discount or something. I would stay again and pay 5 star price but they need to fix the issues they have going on."

"Amazing would stay again"

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"On te good side: Very clean, large and modern (well refreshed) room. The bed super ok. The zone is good as well. The one first lady was very helpful, the other people on staff, they are ok but it could be better. On the so-so side: That was not a breakfast. On the airplane, the quality is better. Clearly they give it just to be on paper as marketing attraction. Just don’t wake up early for that, it’s not worth it. Some noise during the night from the pipes, I assume is as much as you could change on that building. Overall, except the breakfast it’s a good choice."

citizenM Boston Back Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome hotel, great views, easy check-in and check-out, very modern. The terrace was pretty nice. Rooms are small but meet your needs, and the best part is that you can control the whole room with a tablet (AC, lights, curtains). The area where it is located also plays a good part in Newbury Street. Definitely, I would stay again."
