Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Hotel Commonwealth

Hotel Commonwealth

8/10 Good
"Couldn't believe the bar and restaurant closed so early on a Saturday night. There are a lot of other places to go (including one right across the street), but when you stay in an expensive hotel you prefer to get a night cap or a night snack after a concert right in the safety of your hotel Also: when you get the keys and you're going up to your room, if the key doesn't work in the elevator, get out and go back to the front desk. Another rider used their key, so I could also push my floor, but when I got to my room, neither key worked. So I had to schlep back downstairs (this was after walking with heavy bags from Back Bay Station) and the front desk folk admitted they screwed up and gave me a new room (was it nicer than my original? No idea since I couldn't get in) and new keys, which this time worked. But, to balance things out, the front desk person did give me a free bottle of water after I said I had just walked from Back Bay Station (because my wife looked it up and it said the hotel was only 1.4 miles away from the station; it felt a helluva lot longer than 1.4 miles). And it was one of those reusable metal bottles. So that was nice."

"Rooms are nicely designed and spacious. We had SEVERAL lights in our room that DID NOT WORK. The lights around the main mirror in entry (we were getting ready for a wedding so it would really been nice to have that light as that area of the room was entirely dark and we could not see our attire when we aere getting ready) - light inside the coffee machine cupboard was not working- light in bathroom by make-up mirror not working."

"This hotel is in a great location to walk to the Quincy Market area. It is not far from the cruise port or the airport if you use Uber. It is a very clean hotel with an exceptional and helpful staff. Although it has a restaurant and cafe , we didn’t eat there due to our departure time, but it is convenient to have one close."

Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

8/10 Good
"Overall, I really enjoyed my stay! The staff were super helpful and friendly. One thing I really liked was the guest closet. It had little extras like shower caps, mini sewing kits, razors, and shaving cream, which I thought was a nice touch. They also had a water bottle filling station where you could grab an empty bottle and fill it with filtered water. I’ve honestly never seen that at a hotel before, and I used it my entire stay! The only downside for me was the bathroom. I had a stand-up shower, and the bathroom was pretty small and tight. It wasn’t a big enough issue for me to change rooms, though. If you’re a light sleeper, just be aware that you may hear toilets flushing from the floor above. I stayed on the 7th floor, and I could hear it occasionally. Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely stay here again!"
