Cambridge hotellia

Plussat: Great location close to MIT, nice informal atmosphere, good size rooms, excellent breakfast, decent customer service.

Miinukset: The location of the breakfast buffet, the limited capacity of the restaurant in terms of tables, the freezing airco all over the hotel (even in places where no A/C is needed)-lots of wasted energy

Plussat: Everything! Starting with a warm welcome from the staff, to housing our bags while we attended the Red Sox game (as we arrived before check in time), to providing a delicious warm breakfast! The rooms were super clean and absolutely adorable! They had quite a few amenities and even a cute snack bag for the taking...free of charge! Bonus for us was the welcome glass of wine we received upon checking in. ❤ The other great thing was that The Boston Old Town Trolley stops right in front of the Hotel. This was super convenient for our day of exploration! Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!!!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The Sunday breakfast buffet was outstanding! The night before was a comfortable and classy complimentary glass of wine at the bar. Bed very comfortable. The decor added a warm yet quaint feel to the hotel. Would highly recommend, and looking forward to staying again.

Miinukset: The parking garage is extremely tiny and room enough for maybe 15 vehicles.

Plussat: The location was very good. The Kendall is a lovely and quaint place.

Plussat: Nice hotel and location. Has a great ambiance from the past

Miinukset: Breakfast is not very good - traditional coffee and no possibility to have a latte with milk substitutes Elevator does not work very well and was actually shut down for some time during our stay (we stayed unfortunately on the 7th floor). Staff were not forthcoming in explaining the situation With the high heat that we experienced that week the air-co of the hotel cannot work sufficiently to coll down the room We stayed here before - situation was better!

Plussat: We love The Kendall. It is our first choice when looking for a place in the Boston area. We stay here many times throughout the year. We recommend it to friends and family.

Miinukset: They were having issues with the elevator this past weekend. Other times the price can be pretty high depending on what is going on in the area.

Plussat: Fruit was very fresh which is not always the case in 'free breakfast' hotels. Bacon was cooked well and very tasty. Staff was very available to accommodate any requests/needs.

Miinukset: perhaps a second juice available besides orange?

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff, beds, room, I loved it all

Miinukset: From the staff to the decor... Everything was excellent and comfortable... Much like a bed and breakfast.

Plussat: Great location, excellent breakfast and generally very nice.

Miinukset: The elevator did not work one day. The other days it was erratic. Newer staff at front desk could use some more training.

Plussat: Erinomainen persoonallinen boutique-tyyppinen hotelli , entinen paloasema, jonka mukaan sisustettu. Erinomainen palvelu, huoneet yksilöllisiä, erinomainen aamiainen amerikkalaiseksi. Sijaitsee MIT:n kampuksella, metroasema aivan vieressä, ei mitään moitittavaa!

Miinukset: They called and cancelled room on me even though I was given a confirmation number - at 8:30 pm the night of check in! I had to try and find a room standing on the street corner - totally unacceptable.

Plussat: The bed, the decor and the breakfasts were all wonderful and the staff were so nice. I would recommend this inn to anyone traveling to Cambridge or Boston, the porter square tube station is only a few minutes away. Great break.

Plussat: Comfortable and charming B&B, with historic character but modern convenience. Highly recommended.

Plussat: They served a great breakfast

Miinukset: The room was small and was in need of updated carpet

Plussat: I loved the location of this inn! Very peaceful neighborhood and just a short walk to Lesley and Harvard. The room was adorable and comfortable. A.C. worked well and was appreciated. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Thank you, I plan on staying again!

Plussat: Room was very clean and nicely decorated. Everything we needed and very charming too. The included breakfast was delicious and yummy cookies were offered every evening.

Miinukset: Sofa bed was small and not super comfy, but sofa beds usually aren’t.

Plussat: Very cute. Comfortable. Great proximity to Lesley University

Miinukset: Lugging suitcases up to the third floor. Could have used a step stool to get up into the bed! (It’s all good though.)

Plussat: Room was just beautiful, parking was a breeze, and couldn’t have a better location!

Plussat: Very tasty breakfast and parking included. Proximity to T and Harvard Square

Plussat: The Mary Prentiss Inn was even better than I expected! The pictures don't do it justice. It's absolutely charming and an easy walk from both Harvard Square and Porter Square. Plus, it has parking, which is huge in Cambridge!

Plussat: MPI was very comfortable, quiet and convenient. Included off-street parking is a huge perk.

Plussat: Very good location. Clean room. Nice terrace.

Miinukset: A little noisy (noise from the adjacent rooms).

Plussat: This is a quaint, lovely, rejuvenating place to stay when checking out Harvard and other Boston colleges. The breakfast was particularly wonderful -- either "continental" (homemade granola/yogurt/pastries) or hot (varied -- french toast and sausage, etc.), and you can choose when you want it ready (7:30, 8:30, 9:30). Free coffee in the room, cookies and coffee/tea in the lobby. The decorations are lovely -- coordinating pillows and floor patterns and wall paper. The room had a microwave/plates etc for takeout, lovely bath products. It had 2 air conditioners which were loud, but we travel with earplugs. The inn is in a quiet neighborhood, right off Mass Ave, a block from the bus that goes straight up to Tufts, easily walkable to the Harvard tours, and close to the metro. We did uber from the airport because it was night, but had fun learning how to use public transportation, as it is SO easy there.

Miinukset: Not a criticism but a comment -- would have been nice to have two separate beds (shared a queen).

Plussat: Staff is incredible! Service was the best we ever had in a hotel. Access to bikes, kayaks make the visit to Boston such a perfect experience! Rooms are nice and cozy!

Plussat: Great location for getting into Downtown Boston for someone familiar with the city

Miinukset: It might be a little most challenging for someone who doesn’t know the city to deal with the transit options to get to and from the hotel

Plussat: Staff was very friendly, professional, and accommodating. And the rooms were very comfortable.

Plussat: I loved everything -- the king sized bed was comfy, the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. I like to walk barefoot on the carpeted floor and my feet didn't feel dirty afterward, as they sometimes do with hotel rooms. I don't know if it was just not a busy season, but I heard no noise outside of the room. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and I took a quick bike ride using their bike loaner and it was really very nice.

Miinukset: The location is a bit on the outer edges of Boston and far walk from the train, so we just used a cab the whole time. Also the view I had was inwards towards the building (not outside), but it really wasn't that big of a deal.

Plussat: Lovely hotel, charming, clean and comfortable, conveniently located near MIT (with Harvard 2 miles up the road and Boston U across the river). The staff went above and beyond, and Kimpton hotels have a great pet policy!

Plussat: Liked that the parking garage was well lit Room was clean, bed was comfortable

Miinukset: Having to pay extra for parking and the $25 a day guest amenity fee

Plussat: Staff was excellent! Parking cost compared to other 4 stars in area.10.00 credit!

Miinukset: Bathroom shower! Not clean enough. Internet was not allowing us to connect.

Plussat: SERVICE IS OUTSTANDING

Plussat: Very clean room. Very nice bed and linen. Comfortable chair.

Plussat: The view from our room was nice, the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: The cost of the room was high, there wasn’t a complementary breakfast (which was very disappointing for how much I spent for the room), the tiki bar closed an hour early in the common area, and I had to pay for parking in the garage directly below the hotel.

Plussat: Very clean. Fabulous bed and linens. Hot shower. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent food at the restaurant. Highly recommend

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Love the location right next to the river. The service was excellent. Friendly hotel! Love the fact they provide yoga mats and yoga videos. Other hotels must learn from this!

Miinukset: The pillows were a little flat! I would have preferred something with more support! But everything else was perfect

Plussat: The hotel decoration and style

Miinukset: Lack of personel touch at the check-out

Plussat: I liked the location being so close to Harvard. The room was great and fell a notch above what I was expecting.

Miinukset: The pool was not part of the hotel but connected and therefore had weird restrictions on kids using the pool.

Plussat: Met friends for breakfast. Each person enjoyed the food. Hotel location was perfect. I was in town for the unveiling of a plaque for Car Talk's Tom Magliozzi and a celebration in Harvard Square. Late evening, gathered with friends also staying at The Charles for drinks on your patio. Perfect way to end the night. I travel frequently. The Charles is fast-becoming my new favorite hotel.

Miinukset: Something odd. When I arrived, the room was very clean, but a twig of some sort was on the bathroom floor. Sort of looked like a twig that would hold grapes. I simply discarded it.

Plussat: The format of the hotel

Miinukset: The accommodations swimming pool and gym were not available Outdoor terrace was not available for breakfast

Plussat: Location near to Harvard.

Miinukset: Very expensive.

Plussat: Location is fab, blue bike just outside, easy access to T and Charles river walks.

Miinukset: The complementary bikes were not great, maybe cause it was summer. But given the Blue bikes, there is no need for it.

Plussat: Breakfast was in Henrietta's Table - very good with cranberry french toast! Furnishings were classy and windows even opened for fresh air.

Miinukset: No fan in the bathroom.

Plussat: The bedding (down comforter, great pillows), and the air quality/climate control were outstanding. The room was spacious and beautifully appointed, and the bed was actually more comfortable than my bed and home (and I'm fussy). The pool was excellent.

Miinukset: No coffee maker in the room. Refrigerator packed with overpriced bar stuff. I was annoyed, but the NY Times outside the door in the morning put the smile back on my face.

Plussat: Location is brilliant for Harvard. Staff were very helpful. Beds were super comfortable and bathrooms were amazing.

Miinukset: You do have to pay pretty steeply for the quality.

Plussat: Location is perfect. Comfortable place.

Plussat: The location is fantastic. The staff are very helpful.

Miinukset: There’s nothing I can think of.

Plussat: location only.

Miinukset: Whoever designed the place was a moron- paper thin walls, slamming doors- you can hear every conversation in the hallways.

Plussat: The place is so cozy, clean, and the owners are so kind and helpful.

Plussat: Clean, quiet, lots of amenities (full kitchen, laundry in the house, wifi, free parking, living room, etc.), private, safe/secure, great service. Kitty made us feel very comfortable, and exceeded our expectations. I can't think of anything I didn't like even with the shared bathroom, which was always available, clean and stocked. Anyone who rents this place will not be disappointed.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: - kitchen is available - friendly host - ac available in the room

Plussat: It’s perfect!

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Wish I had a TV in my personal room

Plussat: Both Kitty and Mark welcoming, pleasant and helpful. This is a very spacious place, could not be cleaner with soft bath linens and most comfortable bedding. Sofras restaurant nearby, is a treasure

Plussat: Lovely place, close public transport connections, friendly owners. A really nice place to stay. Than you so much

Miinukset: The weather was a bit hot but that want their fault!

Plussat: Very nice. Clean. Hostess was very friendly and informative Recommended stay !

Plussat: Great location. Excellent personal or family value

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: There was no breakfast involved.

Miinukset: There were no double sheets for the bed.

Plussat: The breakfast was perfect for me, fresh fruit, eggs, great breads etc The location, halfway between Harvard and MIT was excellent for my plans. I liked that it was individually owned, independent.

Miinukset: For $240. plus tax , made this a $274. room. For $200. it would have been a great deal. I had no complaints but expected more for the money. I may be wrong.

Plussat: Breakfast was great

Plussat: Pleasant greeting and a smile from the front desk, and super-easy check-in 15 min early on a drenching rainy day. My third booking at this excellent facility.

Plussat: Charming and cozy place with friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast and nice touch of complimentary water bottles and snacks throughout the day. Excellent location between Harvard and MIT, walking distance from subway.

Plussat: How cozy and homy it was

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nice place for a short stay, well located. Comfortable bed and room.

Plussat: Perfect place. Staff, room, bed, bathroom, location, food. I highly recommend. Very closer to MIT and Harvard.

Miinukset: I loved everything.

Miinukset: The heating in my room did not work for the last 2 of the 3 nights I stayed. I expected this to be fixed on the second day (after 1 cold night) when I mentioned it to the front desk, but it was not. This was an inconvenience since the weather was quite cold in Boston during my stay.

Plussat: i love this Inn !!! It is walkable to Central Square, Harvard Square and Kendall Square. The rooms are cozy. I had a great night sleep. The breakfasts are delicious and homemade- eggs, breads, potato dishes, cereal. Coffee, tea and snacks are available at all times in the dining room. I love the morning staff too-- they are bright and cheery.

Plussat: There was a snow storm during my stay and there weren't any taxis operating in Cambridge that morning. The lovely lady on reception kindly offered to drive me in her own car to my next destination nearby to the hotel. I couldn't believe it. She went above and beyond for me and made my week.

Plussat: Very well located as the T (subway) is very close, you take minutes to be in Boston. There are spots for breakfast around. Clean and silent. Nice Staff.

Miinukset: Beds could be a little more comfortable (although they are fine) and rooms are tiny. Other than that, it was great.

Plussat: The staff are terrific! They were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: No room service

Miinukset: What hotel has TWIN BEDS?! Huge disappointment. Would not recommend

Plussat: Great cute hotel, not far from the centre, really close to the metro, and there are some restaurants and bars nearby.

Miinukset: The room was a little small, no roo for a fridge, when I asked for one they brought it and it was really tight.

Plussat: Really loved the location; so close to the T and close to our sons' apartments. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Also was SO happy to have a suite--living room and bedroom.

Miinukset: I had to go down the street to the gym. The weather was fine so it wasn't a problem, but if it had been raining it wouldn't have been so convenient.

Plussat: Convenient Quiet Comfortable Had all essentials without superfluous luxury Unfortunately cafe/restaurant was not open yet

Plussat: Proximity to stores, coffee, restaurants

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Really nice modern rooms, in an area with great public transit connections, Blue Bike station, and lots of restaurants nearby.

Plussat: The Staff and the location were awesome! Steps to grocery, pharmacy, gym, the T and tons of restaurants. Rooms were well updated/new. Shower head / pointed in the the wrong direction just a bit, but too high to move. The showers door didn't completely close, but we loved our stay!

Miinukset: Shower head / pointed in the the wrong direction just a bit, but too high to move. The showers door didn't completely close, but we loved our stay!

Plussat: Very comfortable, modern, good quality air conditioning, very clean, good sized bed (queen), stylish restaurant, walking distance to Harvard, very close to metro station in to central Boston.

Plussat: Cute, European style hotel. The housekeeping staff was exceptional!

Miinukset: The front desk staff was iffy at best. Not very cheerful, and I didn't like how they were seated instead of standing. Unprofessional.

Plussat: Location is fabulous. We stayed here on two weekends and they allowed us to leave luggage behind inbetween free of charge. Nice restaurant downstairs, though breakfast is not included in the price. Complimentary coffee available at all times. Across the road from subway and lots of buses around, as well as shops and restaurants. 25 minute walk to Harvard Uni.

Miinukset: Rooms are very, very small - with not adequate space for two suitcases.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly. The workers at the front desk were were pleasant and made sure I knew how to get to places to eat.

Plussat: Breakfast was excelkent. Every taste was provided for. Staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: I couldn't find fault with anything.

Plussat: Large and comfortable suite. Friendly personnel. Fully equipped even with toaster.

Plussat: i loved everything about this amazing hotel, it felt more like a home away from home! Very peaceful, my 2nd time visiting and I will always come back!

Plussat: It was very well located

Plussat: Great location in Kendall. Convenient to MIT. Very good breakfast. Super friendly staff in every area, especially the front desk, cleaning service and breakfast food severs. Our room was very quiet and we got a good rest

Miinukset: Room not updated with usb plugs. No suitcase stands for our bags.

Plussat: Big room and with a kitchen

Miinukset: None

Plussat: great breakfast

Plussat: Located in the peaceful MIT community, there's a nice small garden outside. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and very nice for staying with family. Easy to access to the parking at the back and the laundry room located at the 2nd floor is quite helpful; It's always cozy and for a short breakfast~ love this place and hope to come back again in the future.

Plussat: This hotel is very close to MIT. Hotel was quiet, room was large and breakfast was very good. Service was quick. This was our second time staying, if we come to this area again we will definitely stay here again. Enjoyed our stay.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect for us.

Plussat: Location and layout were perfect. Staff was friendly and helpful with directions and clarifying whether or not we could bring breakfast back up to our room.

Miinukset: I wish the foldout bed had been a little more comfortable!

Plussat: comfortable large room!

Miinukset: No USB plug in

Plussat: Location, decor, staff. Would haven given close to 10 in all categories were it not for the tiny size of the room.

Miinukset: My room as so small that it literally did not have a chair in it, not to mention a desk. Just a hassock crammed under the window sill crammed between the bed and the window next to a something like a coffee table with a TV on it.

Plussat: The service was absolutely fantastic. The host was able to get us checked in early and was very polite and helpful. Definitely 5 star service.

Miinukset: For the price point, I was a little surprised that some of the walls were chipped, carpets stained, etc. However, everything was very clean.

Plussat: The location was great, walking distance from everything and the free coffee and water in the lobby was really a nice surprise.

Plussat: nice bathroom, comfortable bed, on-site parking, good wine and cheese to purchase

Miinukset: The room I had was connected to another and I didn't realize that until the next door room was occupied by a rather loud guy. I didn't dare test the door then to see if it was locked, so I called the desk to note my discomfort. The desk guy assured me the door was locked and he had the key. The situation made me uncomfortable, nevertheless.

Plussat: room was very clean, bathroom and shower were great. I loved the balcony. Check in/out was quick and simple. Hotel staff was very nice and accommodating.

Miinukset: The room at night was unbearably hot. Tried to turn down the heat, that didn't work. It was so hot I even tried to turn on the AC.

Plussat: Location was perfect. Super convenient to the quad, Harvard Square, the Art Museums - easy walking to all.

Plussat: New bathroom

Miinukset: Dog smell

Plussat: clean and good lighting in the rooms. close to the Business school

Miinukset: no restaurant... had to go out to find food . should have a least provided a skeletal breakfast service

Plussat: Staff very attentive Room clean and pleasant Coffee tea abd other available

Miinukset: Tm on 4th floor corner on mass ave so loud sleep not possible Elevator sliw then not working My room was moved to side street room and quiet enough to sleep. However staff was gracious throughout visit.

Plussat: Great location .. staff was really friendly and the Hotel was really pretty.

Miinukset: Our room was really close to the lobby (room 104) and we weren’t able to sleep at all. There was a group of young guys ordering pizza at 2 am. They were extremely loud and obnoxious, there were many “Dude and Bro” references. After their trip to and from dominos, there was another couple in the lobby having a very long conversation like they were at a coffee house at 3 am. We could hear their entire conversation. It was awful.

Plussat: Friendly staff, great complimentary coffee, good outlets in the room, nice room and very clean. Also an awesome location near Harvard Square. Would definitely stay there again.

Miinukset: Would have been nice if there was a small gym.

Plussat: pros: + free drinks all day (tea, coffee, soda, water) + friendly staff + clean and quite

Miinukset: cons: - no breakfast option - pricey (as most other hotels in the area) - no fridge in the room

Plussat: Nicest Fairfield inn I'have ever been to

Plussat: Modern style, renovated rooms.

Miinukset: No safe in the room

Plussat: Bed was comfy and room size perfect

Miinukset: Some people were in the parking lot making a lot of noise. Didn’t look like guests but people who were parked without permission. Loud noisy

Plussat: Convenient location, really supportive, friendly staff and a great place to do business appointments from as well as travel to business locations in Boston and Cambridge. Very clean and offers typical complementary breakfast with a limited dinner menu and bar for evenings. Will definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast was excellent. Tea and coffee available all day was a real bonus.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff!!! Close to the T

Miinukset: Noisy, poor food, dirty filthy location. Charge for parking

Plussat: How clean it was

Miinukset: Location was near all stores,td garden and the new casino. We didn’t have to fill up bcuz everything was so close to each other

Miinukset: Was charged for 2 nights parking while i actually parked for 1 night .. $80 instead should have been $40. No one told me i should give the sticker back after usage or the charges would be continued through the stay period.

Plussat: Very nice & clean

Miinukset: Near to our work

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Parking fee was high didn’t know until I got the bill

Plussat: Close to transit, can walk from hotel. Room was very clean. They accommodated my early check-in for a concert.

Miinukset: Would be nice if the bar stayed open later. The area isn't super easy to walk.

Plussat: Interior design was pretty, clean, easy to get to rooms.

Miinukset: Parking lot too small.

Plussat: Cleanliness, customer service

Plussat: The room is large and clean.

Plussat: Location, 15 meters to the subway station OMG very very good location.

Miinukset: nothing to complain

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The door on the bathroom

Plussat: Bed extra comfy. Nice views

Plussat: Very clean and nice

Miinukset: None

Plussat: NOTHING...!! (really)

Miinukset: Staff is not helpful and not service minded..2star hotel staff.. It's better to install automated machines to front desk.. at least maybe the rates will be better!!!

Plussat: Service was great. Room was clean and comfortable!

Miinukset: To park in the parking garage is 42.00 per night.

Plussat: Rooms and facilities

Miinukset: More expensive and need to give gratuity st every meal

Plussat: Great service, clean, comfortable room

Miinukset: Beautiful view! Good location. Very clean and quiet. Ice cold air conditioning in 100 degree days! I had a very, very pleasant stay!!!

Plussat: The location was great. Very easy to walk around evem in Boston, just on the other side.of the river.

Plussat: easy check in and out

Miinukset: cleanliness, I needed a bathtub

Plussat: The bed was super comfy, the room was clean.

Miinukset: Noisy neighbors all night long, bar closes at 11, a little pricey

Plussat: Nice and clean.

Miinukset: It took a long time for the room to cool down. I would like to have a small refrigerator and a complimentary breakfast

Plussat: The Hotel near to MIT and subway station, which is convenient to us.

Plussat: The hotel was very accommodating for a early check-in. The bellhop was also accommodating and held onto my bags after check-out and before I needed to go to the airport. Overall, the staff were great and the hotel was adequate.

Miinukset: Although the bathrooms appeared to have been recently updated, I did not like the shower-head and the shower appeared to have been excluded from any renovations. The TV also randomly shut off on a few occasions and was a bit laggy.

Plussat: Good location, especially if you want to be near MIT, although slightly dodgy late night in Central Sq. Very nice staff.

Miinukset: Room setup: Although the Jr. Suite was large, they should have provided a table to eat and work at (or rolled breakfast in on a cart suitable for eating at). Yes, there's a desk, but in order to eat room-service breakfast, desk had to be cleared off. Bathroom lighting was sort of dim. Chairs in room were not comfortable. For how to pull all of this off successfully, designers should take a room at the similarly-priced Charles Hotel in Harvard Sq!

Plussat: Proximity of the area...

Miinukset: Not much in-house dining choice.

Plussat: Nice big clean rooms

Miinukset: Service was so so, airco made a lot of noise and bathroom shower as well

Plussat: Very comfortable and staff were easy to deal with.

Miinukset: Everything was good

Plussat: I did not eat breakfast at the hotel.

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: The hotel had parking right next door, a plus. We were welcomed genuinely and anything we asked - we were supplied with answers and a smile. Front desk people were lovely.

Plussat: Bed was comfortable

Plussat: Newness...valet parking

Miinukset: Sheets were pilly

Plussat: Excellent breakfast (Although it was the same exact breakfast for seven days.)

Miinukset: No modern air conditioning; description states air conditioning. Found no room a/c vents;Hallways at 75 degrees; staff said air could not be adjusted. Rooms- hot and stuffy;must open windows at night;given a loud fan to cool off the room. Miserable.

Plussat: Location and staff

Miinukset: I had a hard time getting into bed. It was literally touching the wall

Plussat: Great location. Cozy, comfortable and great breakfast!

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious!

Plussat: Staff friendly, helpful and efficient

Miinukset: We were there during an unusual heatwave and were very uncomfortable at night. The internal air conditioning was probably efficient in certain weather conditions but not in the mid-90's. A lot of night-time sweat and lost sleep.

Plussat: noce room

Miinukset: bath in the second floor is not working

Plussat: My room was small but comfortable, one single bed. I used shared bath which was fine, nice and clean and I never waited. Breakfast is very full and fresh with variety. Of course good coffee and juices. Location a 10 minute walk to Harvard Square, lovely quiet street. Staff are helpful. Great value compared to hotels in Cambridge which charge $500, very overpriced. Cambridge is overpriced in general. Picture shows nice balcony to have coffee and read a book.

Miinukset: Everything was excellent.

Plussat: Leave time to eat breakfast. It was fabulous. Fresh berries, fruit, souffle, healthy oatmeal, organic milks, cakes etc. Very pleasant.

Miinukset: Not sure. You do have to walk down a super short hall to the shared bathroom but you knew that. Shower was hot, clean towels, soap and shampoos provided, flat screen TV in room. Quiet. Slept great. Cocoa, hot tea and coffee with cake, fruit and cookies provided all night. What's not to like?

Plussat: My family of 4 loved this place! Our room was spacious and very bright and clean and my kids loved the bunk beds. Breakfast was lovely. They had great afternoon snacks of cheese bread and cake and cookies which was a nice touch. The walnut apple cake was totally Delicious. The location is awesome. 5 minute walk to the subway and to the heart of Cambridge Yard. Staff is very helpful and will do anything they can to help you enjoy your stay. A gem of a place.

Miinukset: Room for improvement would be better pillows. They scrabbles eggs were a weird consistency but easily overlooked bc there are other yummy items for breakfast .

Plussat: Loved the location and quiet street. Sitting room, dining area, and guest room all were very good. The breakfast was as the reviews said adequate. We did miss the traditional B&B breakfast camaraderie, but it wasn’t promised.

Plussat: Awesome location! If you are looking to stay close to Harvard Yard and do not really care about the dimensions of the room or lack of an elevator, Irving House is your choice!!!!

Miinukset: 2 things struck me as odd when I checked-in - size of the room and lack of an elevator. For the money I paid, I don't think the room size was at all adequate. Also, with a room on 4th floor, pulling luggage over stairs is really inconvenient :(

Plussat: Location was good, property was clean.

Miinukset: Rooms didn’t feel like they were made for a guest. No AC control Price was a lot for a room

Plussat: The room was elegant and very comfortable. The bathroom was perfect as well. It felt like having an apartment in town.

Miinukset: Their entrance is narrow and not very practical but it is a very small detail compared to the rest of our experience.

Plussat: Nice hotel and restaurant was fine.

Miinukset: The parking at $31/day was quite pricey.

Plussat: Love the Commander!

Miinukset: Internet connection was poor.

Plussat: Clean sharp decor. Very helpful staff including on site parking staff.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: This is a clean, elegant hotel with professional, friendly staff in an excellent location for visiting the Harvard campus

Miinukset: Parking is expensive

Plussat: We happened to have a bathroom with a walk in shower. We have no special needs but it was a lovel perk.

Plussat: the restaurant

Miinukset: unable to accommodate breakfast room service at 530am...for a 4 star hotel at this price, that's not good.

Plussat: Beautiful room - large with great views of Cambridge. Staff was very friendly and accomodating.

Miinukset: It was really cold outside and the hot water took about 5 minutes to come on in the shower - that's my only complaint.

Plussat: Staff was great. Room very nice, clean. Restaurant/Bar food was good and not crazy expensive for location.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Soooooooo good，comfortable and cleanliness.

Plussat: Everything was great!

Plussat: Location is the best for visiting Harvard

Miinukset: Dinner in the restaurant was somewhat crowded.

Plussat: Rooms were very nice. Breakfast spread was excellent. Staff was very helpful.

Miinukset: Construction nearby, which meant valet parking was the only option.

Plussat: The rooms are very large and well appointed. The hotel is very nice, chic, has a European feel. Conveniently located near the Alewife T station on the red line. Trail/walking parking adjacent to the hotel which is awesome.

Miinukset: The parking situation was not explained in advance. There was construction to the hotel's garage, therefore we had to valet park. This is fine but it created a lot of confusion when we arrived and the valets seemed frazzled. The staff seemed indifferent to the parking confusion. Breakfast had a nice spread of food but the server was overwhelmed and could not manage the amount of people who were in the restaurant. Toilet didn't work in our room upon arrival and required plunging.

Plussat: Super clean property very close to boston downtown very nice rooms!

Miinukset: Super expensive 20$ hidden parking fee!

Plussat: Newer hotel with great amenities.

Miinukset: Location!! Very difficult to locate with construction of building blocking the hotel.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel and the Front Desk staff was so kind and helpful! A truly terrific experience. My whole family, including teenagers, enjoy the breakfast buffet.

Miinukset: I can’t think of a thing I did not like.

Plussat: The room was nice

Miinukset: No food during hours you need it. And what they did have was rediculously exspensive. Poor loocation to be without a car

Plussat: Boutique-style hotel with very nicely designed rooms (very clean too!), comfortable beds. Very friendly staff, free coffee in the lobby, etc.

Miinukset: Few restaurants (any?) within walking distance.

Plussat: The fitness center was a great size with excellent equipment. The staff at the front desk and car attendants fantastic.

Miinukset: I wish I had known about the construction around the hotel. It would have been easier to navigate my way in but I’m sure that was out of your controls

Plussat: It was a very cool environment and so clean. The pool was excellent and the beds incredibly comfortable.

Miinukset: Lots of construction around the exterior made it slightly difficult to find, but i believe I got an incredibly discounted price due to this circumstance, so I was very pleased nonetheless.

Plussat: Very clean and comfy!

Miinukset: The parking. Only valet

Plussat: Located close to the Red Line. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were comfortable and quiet - good a/c and a nice sound machine for sleeping.

Miinukset: Terrible location, falsely advertised as being near Harvard and MIT

Plussat: I booked this hotel for my husband and daughter. I was having surgery and I wanted a hotel that was close by. They walked back and forth and left the car in the hospital parking lot. They loved the hotel and said the walk was not bad. The only glitch was that I guess I put hotel in my name. Fortunately I had put my husband's cell phone number and all was well. All and all a very pleasant experience.

Plussat: Helpful and friendly staff, beautiful room and St. Charles river views, Starbucks in hotel, and the place looked and smelled really wonderful

Plussat: Modern interior, clean bathroom, nice location.

Miinukset: The room was cramped. The space between the bed and the dresser was tiny.

Plussat: Hotel is near shopping mall, great river front location, comfortable room beds, and few minutes from downtown Boston

Miinukset: Hotel room prices jump so quickly so high and with high range

Plussat: location and the room with a view

Miinukset: hotel with bad maintenance. needs refursbishment works. Looby and restaurants ok but the rooms and the aisles are in poor condition

Miinukset: Room is very small

Plussat: Great location, beautiful hotel! Staff was great and accommodated me in all aspects of my stay.

Plussat: Beautiful, clean hotel, and loved the view of the river from the room. Staff was very friendly and helpful; they accommodated requests and/or answered questions. Pool and fitness room for use. Good selection of food at restaurants Close to a mall if you like shopping Late check out to allow enough time to pack and eat before traveling home.

Miinukset: The distance from the elevators to the lobby was a little far for those with mobility issues It would have been nice to have adjoining rooms but we checked in too late and I didnt know they were an option. Never had to pay parking fees before. I think they are expensive but at least we had in/out privileges.

Plussat: For the price, this place was over the top.

Miinukset: The line checking in was long.

Plussat: Location and comfort

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Great location and great view of the Charles River.

Miinukset: Minor things - some of the power outlets did not work and had problems with the in room coffee maker.

Plussat: very good ,better than some four or five star hotels

Miinukset: nothig

Plussat: Helpful staff, Cleanliness of room, good breakfast included

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Please get a full-sized shower curtain!

Plussat: The room was comfortable and the availability of parking essential. I was glad to find a place in north Cambridge that was somewhat reasonably priced. I appreciate that breakfast was available promptly when we needed to leave very early.

Miinukset: Not under the hotel's control, but arriving by car amidst complicated traffic patterns was not easy. For someone who did not know the town it would be worse.

Plussat: Staff were super friendly. Room was very clean and well kept. Location close to bus and T.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a bit scant, but still okay.

Plussat: The facility and staff exceeded our expectations. The Inn is convenient to Boston public transportation and we were delighted with what we found.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a little underwhelming

Plussat: The property strikes me as a classic small hotel! I had to travel for medical reasons, and therefore was preoccupied, but the very courteous staff and cleanliness of the hotel made me comfortable enough to get a good night’s sleep, and that is what I needed. Then a short walk to the Porter station of the T, and I was able to go about my business. I returned to pick up my bags that were stowed. If I had a bit more time, there were plenty of restaurants I would have had a chance to investigate within a 5 minute walk.

Miinukset: My only minor complaint was a lack of an elevator. Luckily I can still heft all my bags (and I am a pack rat!) but I like to have this option. Still, this probably is not worth complaining about!

Plussat: Clean great location lovely staff - perfect

Plussat: This is our third visit and we have always had a great stay. We were even offered an umbrella if needed.

Miinukset: Can’t think of anything.

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent and the staff super nice and helpful!! The Victorian room was very nice. We would come here again!

Plussat: It's was really nice and I had good time.

Plussat: Location and luxury! Perfect spot to stay when visiting MIT. Excellent parking facility.

Miinukset: Overpriced

Plussat: The view was amazing and the location was breathtaking. Loved it. They have a Starbucks at the hotel for coffee lovers.

Miinukset: The room was less than expected. I was given a disability room although I requested a standard regular room. My request for a room with a view was not covered or looked at by the hotel. The quality of hotel food was less than expected and over priced.

Plussat: Good location and service, clean.

Plussat: Spacious outdoor balcony--made the room.

Plussat: View of Charles River from our room which had a balcony. Room was comfortable but bathroom small. TV is huge.

Miinukset: Bar and restaurant over-priced - $18 for a burger which was a pre-fab. Glass elevators and open courtyard which extends to upper floors not good for those with acrophobia.

Plussat: The design of the room was appropriate. The family liked the facilities a lot. We loved the pool area to relax just before going out. We also like their restaurant. Great food and friendly staff.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The staff was very attentive.

Miinukset: I did not get the room that I had booked but the staff was apologetic and did make things as good as they could..

Plussat: The view

Miinukset: The smell in the room is so bad The house keeping never clean properly The room dining was terrible The chicken in the sandwich is in cooked

Plussat: The size of the room. the bus shuttle from the train station

Miinukset: The pool was cold, no hot tub. There was no complimentary breakfast, newspapers. The pillows were small and the room smelled musty. The parking price was outrageous.

Plussat: Great location. Nice hotel.

Miinukset: Charging for parking when we paid $300+ View is not overlooking Boston as they claim.

Plussat: Proximity to BU - the reason for our trip

Miinukset: Felt a bit old. Shower in the bathtub. No closet - but may be due to the room being configured for a handicapped guest. Pay $49+ dollars for overnight parking, for guests???!!! Get real. After paying $400 for a room, this felt mean spirited.

Plussat: Easy to park rental car.Wonderful view!Shuttle to to T was very convenient.Very good restaurant!

Miinukset: All good!

Plussat: Eggs were ok ,, staff very helpful

Miinukset: Need firmer pillows

Plussat: The free breakfastv

Miinukset: No safe in room Or a closet

Plussat: Good breakfast.

Plussat: Close to train! Very clean and offered free parking. Good variety for breakfast. It was quiet too!

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was great!

Plussat: Rooms were comfortable, clean, spacious.

Miinukset: Not much. We had a pleasant stay. WiFi was too slow.

Miinukset: The room was not clean when I arrived. There were snacks (candy and chips) on the floor. I wish shower was stronger.

Plussat: Very conveniently located

Miinukset: A bit pricey but I suppose that's what you get in Boston/Cambridge

Plussat: Practically everything was in walking distance/less than 10 minute drive. Room was ready early, very comfortable bed, clean room, spacious, breakfast included, etc.

Miinukset: Main complaint would be that for the shower, I had to keep the water at a low flow in order to have warm/cold water. If the water was put at a faster flow, it would be burning hot-shower also wasn’t spacious.

Plussat: Courteous staff

Miinukset: Busy street, small room

Plussat: good price for hotel near Boston. Conveniently located to transportation in and out of Boston. Breakfast included was helpful. local are has some good food.

Miinukset: Parking was a little crazy. Hotel full and it was a little tight. Staff very helpful in advising on parking. otherwise everything good. would recommend to others.

Plussat: Pretty normal hotel super close to the T station, making getting to downtown Boston a breeze. Worth it if you are cost conscious and willing to navigate public transit.

Plussat: I liked the free parking. The Breakfast was fine for being included. I like the size of the TV and the in room amenities. The water pressure was great for the shower, plenty of hooks for towels and clothes, and really quiet.

Miinukset: The beds and pillows were a bit uncomfortable but, manageable.
