Hotel Holiday Inn Express di Cambridge

I arrived early and they were able to find me a room that was available which was very nice. As a Globalist they offered a 4 pm checkout and free breakfast. Got a nice room facing the Charles River. A pleasant stay and very convenient to MIT. Also nice that they now have a shuttle that will take you to Kendall, Central or Harvard Square.

not too bad, the parking is $42 per day. It’s close to Harvard and MIT. No room service for cleaning and bed changing etc. River view.

就在哈佛校園裡麪，步行就完全可以逛完哈佛的校園，非常的便捷。酒店的設施也是很智能的，前台人員也很友善。

2 ladies in the reception are very warm and friendly. The room is clean with a beautiful view. The whole time there was very pleasant.

Everything was perfect about our stay from fulfilling our request for a higher floor room with a view, to the breakfast staff meeting our request for a ”hot” vegetarian item. We were leaving at about 5am on the final day and the breakfast doesn't open until 6:30am/7am, but the staff was very nice enough for us to let us pick a few bakery and refrigerated items for to go that early morning. The room was VERY spacious with a fully stocked kitchen with pots and pans. It was very helpful for the Uber Eats delivery we had one of the nights as we could eat in the ”real” plates and use the silverware. We put the left overs in the fridge. The entire staff of the hotel was very respectful and ever smiling. Having a Starbucks attached to the hotel was great and the exit thru the Starbucks to the parking garage was super convenient.

Did I spend roughly $50 (pre-tax & tip) on a lobster roll and a glass of prosecco? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. I'm going to touch on other aspects of my stay, but I can't believe how many fresh tasting, big, succulent chunks of lobster were in this hotel lounge lobster roll. It's cold & mayo based, which I know isn't for everyone (I see you got buttered lobster roll people and I understand completely; I'm just an equal opportunist when it comes to lobster rolls), but it was really good - like, not good for a hotel lounge, but good good. Yum! Ok, so why 4 stars? If it were based on the hospitality of the staff alone, I'd give it 6. Every staff member I encountered was genuinely affable - some were more outgoing than others, sure, but I appreciate mellow kindness. Also, this might be the first time I've remembered to pack all of my extra little charging stations, and I didn't even need them. So many conveniently placed outlets and USB ports - and the main room light was warm toned and welcoming, which is also a little treat :) I had to take away a star because of the general noise. My sleep wasn't disturbed, because I always travel with hardcore ear plugs and a sleep mask, but I couldn't close the curtains all the way (even with the pants hanger clip trick) so there was light coming in, and I could hear everything in the hall. Also plumbing noises (like pipes pinging and gurgling - nothing alarming, just...mildly intrusive). I was also disappointed that there wasn't a laundry bag or dry cleaning service like there are in the other Marriotts I've stayed in; I want to call myself out on not going to the front desk to ask specifically for this, but every other Marriott I've been in has a laundry bag with a dry cleaning order form in the closet. There also weren't any extra blankets in the closet; again, I didn't ask the front for one (and I'm sure they would have given one to me) but I wish there had been one in the room as it was super comfortable until I woke up at 2 am - which is really late and inconvenient to realize you need extra blankets. Ok, so that's why I took away a star. The other 4 are for the friendly staff, incredibly convenient location (anywhere I didn't walk, I took a Bluebike from the stand right outside), gorgeous fitness center (Pelotons?! What?!), and general cleanliness. If I come back to Boston/Cambridge for work, I'm 100% staying here. (If I come for pleasure, I'd probably try a quaint inn or something, but honestly I'd likely stay here the final night of my trip because it is also FIFTEEN MINUTES from the airport. But with a great river view, and no plane noises.) More on the location: walk to the river, and across the Harvard bridge. You're literally right there, and it's a great way to see the city (and while there's a CVS across the street, the one over the bridge is in a historic building. I'm from California, so to me that is very special 😂). It also takes 15 minutes to walk to the Cambridgeside Galleria if you n

酒店是一家普通的希爾頓酒店，周圍有些購物小區，還算不錯。但櫃檯人員態度一般。我把一雙鞋子忘了在酒店裡，晚上打電話去要，回復的不了了知。說找到就打電話通知我，找不到就算了，不會通知。至今一天了，沒收到通知。🥲🥲🥲

Very comfortable stay. Location is also great, near green line could go all way down to visit Boston famous places.

This is a very professionally run small hotel. There were several times when the level of service rose to the very highest level. First, I had a cold when I made the reservation and I asked if I was too under the weather to come to Boston, could I use the non-refundable payment toward a future stay-the front desk person was very helpful and allowed that. During my stay everything was very well done. The next really, really special service was that I left the hotel very early due to travel plans and I forgot one of my most important reference books and my umbrella! I am an experienced traveler and I have a very careful leave the room routine. I must have been too tired. I realized my mistake quickly and called about an hour after having left. The front desk person checked on my room and found the two items and immediately offered to work with the owner to get them mailed to me...and the owner did this without adding a charge!! Maybe because I had been understanding that my room was a little cold due to very strong 50 mile per hour winds that night...whatever the reasons, I was very impressed and will make this my go to hotel on my regular Boston trips.
