Top Cambridge Common Hotel Reviews

Hotel 1868

10/10 Excellent

"Nice boutique hotel. Very clean, modern and convenient. Staff is very friendly and helpful."

Beacon Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific new hotel with nicely decorated, spacious rooms. The garage underneath the hotel is well lit and very convenient. The hotel does not offer breakfast, but there is a convenient cafe located just across the street. It's a short walk to Mass Ave and the Porter Square T stop and restaurants. The walk to the Harvard campus is a bit longer but is very pleasant."

Lark Hotels 907 Main

8/10 Good

"This is a great location. Staff was very warm and friendly. My room felt a little claustrophobic. Windows don’t open and AC/heater only allow a very small range of temperature settings. Other than that, it was good.i didn’t have any wow moments, but i also didn’t have any frustrated moments either. I’d stay there again assuming they may have a different room type than I stated in."

Courtyard by Marriott Boston-Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Very well situated with access to the city and Cambridge surroundings. Numerous seafood/Latin and Asian small venue restaurants are within 1.5 miles uber hop from the hotel back across the river. Great staff, terrific sunrise views of downtown Boston from the East side of the hotel, for what it's worth."

Studio Allston Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"."

Harvard Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location everything is clean beds are comfortable. Only suggestion would be to offer scones or a pastry in the morning with the free coffee"

Sheraton Commander Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All went well. We came. We Stayed. We checked out. The Sheraton Commander is perfectly located in Harvard Yard where all of the neighborhood is easily accessible. The staff were attentive, and very friendly. A great stay! Keep up the good work! We'll be back!"

Ginkgo House on Harvard

10/10 Excellent
