Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Seaport Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Great location across the street from the transit station. No need to rent a car. Beautiful views in clean, modern neighborhood. Lots of food choices with a few blocks. Beautiful waterfront walkway to take in the great views of Boston. Rooms were very reasonably priced. Clean, well maintained rooms with great amenities. We loved coming “home” every evening. Great bed, refrigerator, coffee maker and furniture to enjoy the view and relax. We had a nice meal for breakfast in the restaurant as well. Would love to return here on my next trip to Boston."

The Westin Boston Seaport District

10/10 Excellent

"Stay was fantastic."

The Royal Sonesta Boston

10/10 Excellent

"When entering the room, there should be a fresh scent, rather than the smell of disinfectant or cleaning agents often associated with just having been cleaned. But overall, I am basically satisfied."

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Clean A bit noisy but really good Staff was nice A lot of parking Front view is cool"
