Top East Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Encore Boston Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Had fun. There a picket line with strikers, but I'm with they cause and it didn't bother me. Had fun, shuttle from celtics game was helpful."

The Revolution Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was in a good neighborhood, and close enough to walk to main attractions. Staff was attentive and helpful. Only caution...the rooms are small, if you get one with a bathroom inside the room (as opposed to group bathrooms down a hallway), the floor tends to flood after taking a shower. Lastly, be prepared to do some yoga bends to get in and out of the queen size bed that barely fits in the room."

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Harborside Boutique Inn was a no-frills stay for us. Small room, relatively clean but the very small loveseat/couch appeared dirty or worn, so it just held our luggage. Bathroom was clean, shower had plenty of hot water. Our room (209) was very quiet and the a/c was adequate. Beds was firm but not uncomfortable. Pillows were comfy. We spent most of our time exploring, so it was well-located for walking to The T, trolley tours, Quincy Market and the Harbor."
