Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge
"If I could give the staff 6 stars or more I would. They went above and beyond allowing me to check in early after a red eye. I’m sure it’s guaranteed but they made it work. New king beds seem recently renovated and are very very nice."

"Clean room and the best hotel staff I have come across friendly and accommodating for little ones. Out little guy played "work" with a worker because she looked lonely by herself hm. From valet to the restaurant, all the employees are too of the line."
