"Great front desk. Helpful!"

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Boston - Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"We had such an amazing time at the Double Tree. We arrived at 1am and the staff was absolutely understanding and helpful. Our room had a wonderful view overlooking the Charles River. The Double Tree cookies were also warm and oh so addictive. The hotel is within walking distance to a Whole Foods and Walgreens. There is also a lobster place just across the river. If you are visiting Harvard, there is daily shuttles taking you to the school with multiple drop off/pick up locations. This will also be the hotel we will book when we are in Boston in the future."
