Rooms (and beds) are quite comfortable. Service was friendly and the location was perfect for my meetings. Menu at hotel restraunt is reasonable for a hotel, and the food was very good. Bar prices are outrageous.

Jacob the assistant front office manager was so incredibly helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area! He provided amazing details of on going events near by along with speedy guest service. Tonya the f&b manager was also so kind and helpful, truly made my experience there pleasurable. She went above and beyond for my party in the restaurant. I will definitely recommend this location and return on behalf of them and their entire staff.

Front Desk Staff (Nancy Rodriguez and Maria Carter) are the best! Our family and I stayed there early November to celebrate my daughter's wedding nearby. I needed some assistance to sort out the room blocks and welcome bags we needed to distribute. Nancy and Maria were both courteous, helpful and gave us all the assistance we needed throughout the week with our guests. Overall all the hotel staff were wonderful and made our special weekend flawless! Thank you!!

Front desk and bell staff — including Ashley and Jacob — are top-notch! Breakfast buffet is good. Onsite ATM is handy. Rooms are clean and well-appointed, but some are starting to show their age a bit (a leaky tub faucet here, a drooping door handle there, small scuffs on furniture, etc.). But you can’t get a better location if you’re headed to MIT!

I was fortunate enough to have my wedding here this past weekend. I say "fortunate enough' because it was a perfect day. From the first conversation I had with Ashley Sullivan, each fine detail was attended to and addressed with plenty of time and flexibility like a wedding requires. She handled the entire event with such warm hospitality. I thought I would be anxious on the day of, but Ashley went out of her way to make the day special so I didn't even have to worry about the execution of the event. What a delight during what can be a stressful day. We were greeted by the front desk, who was very cordial, and the great experience continued all the way to check out. After the experience I had and the support and compassion we received from Ashley, I would host any function I have here again. I'm so grateful to her for making it such a smooth experience and I genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about the way my wedding went. If you're considering a venue, don't hesitate!

We held a offsite executive meeting at the Le Meridien in Cambridge. Went well! Ashley and Kara took care of every single detail and made the meeting run smoothly without any issues. Thank you to all the staff there, A/V, catering, service! Everybody there! THANK YOU!

We had yet another wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel in Cambridge. The staff is extremely professional and the location is really great if you're in the Cambridge area. Most things are within walking distance and the neighborhood is extremely safe. I highly recommend that you stay at this hotel. You will not be disappointed.

Great situation. Very convenient to move around Cambridge and Boston, with the T nearby. The room and bathroom are spacious and comfortable. But the cleaning must be improved. We had stained sheets on the first day. We got instant replacement + breakfast coupons when I called reception about it. So that was handled very professionnally. And daily cleaning was irregular. Towels behind the door only changed once, while others daily, ice bucket not cleaned, etc. And the sheets were always very creased, so the bed never really felt fresh, clean and tidy. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Personnel was always helpful and attentive.
