I booked this place on priceline.com and was a little bit skeptical. We chose it because it had a 9 out of 10 rating on PL, it was relatively inexpensive, and was right by the T. 1st of all the hotel staff is really accomodating, the rooms are nice, big, and clean (mine had a fridge, microwave, pull out couch, desk, and king bed). The decor is great, there is free internet, and FREE BREAKFAST (not continental). It's on MIT's campus, 2 train stops to Harvard or Downtown, and is the most reasonably priced place to stay in Boston for the money/quality. On the way out, I swapped books with the hotel staff. read more

I stayed at this hotel over the labor day weekend for four days and I found it overall decent but overall quite forgetable. I wouldn't really recommend the Kendall to someone unless they needed the convenience of being in the heart of Cambridge and wanted something smaller and more quaint than the Marriot. However, quaint comes at a price as you'll find the service and staff leaves something to be desired. The housekeeping was a joke (even with a tip) that after the 2nd cleaning I didn't bother letting them come in as they didn't do much to the room. The free breakfast consisted of exactly the same thing every day (tasteless scrambled eggs, okay flapjacks and suprisingly crisp bacon) which gets old very quickly. Also, if you're driving here there are about 15 parking spaces total in their underground garage and they're all tiny... even if you pay for parking, which for some reason you have to in Boston hotels, it's still first come first serve here. They do give you free Internet access in your room though and Wifi in their lobbies so that was kind of cool if you've brought your laptop. Another negative is that there is very little in the area and if you want something better to eat than Legal Sea Foods and Quiznos then you're going to have to walk or take a train. However, Boston is a very walkable and easy to travel city so this isn't that big a negative. read more

We stayed in the smallest, cheapest room they had on offer. This turned out to be a small suite, with a sitting room and flatscreen TV, and a bed in a separate room with its own flatscreen TV. There was very little extra space in the bedroom, but enough space to do yoga in the sitting room. We were on the second floor, with a view out to Main Street. The bed was not as firm as I would have preferred, but was adequate. The pillows were a little too big, but not so loafy as to be unmanageable. I would not rate the bedding as perfect, but it was clean, and I had a good night's sleep. There is some city noise here, although it wasn't bad. The room had no annoying smell (the entire hotel is nonsmoking). Soaps and shampoo were of good quality. The shower head was due for a vinegar bath (it was a bit clogged), but pressure was fine, and I had a nice shower anyway. The bathroom is decorated with subway tile, hexagonal floor tile, a faux-Victorian sink, chrome fixtures, and so on. It seemed nice to me--they didn't go overboard with it. Decor in general was pleasant. Clearly they're going for a faux prewar look, but they don't beat you over the head with it. Breakfast was pretty good. They only had super-sweet, super-artificial yogurt, so I couldn't do my usual breakfast with muesli and fruit, but the scones were good, the eggs were good, and the bread was pretty good (really good if you like sourdough, but it's not my thing). People in other reviews have complained about the price of this hotel, but I found it to be cheaper than other options of similar quality in Cambridge. It was cheaper than the Hampton Inn out by the airport, in a much better location, and much more pleasant. If you really like over-perfumed corporate hotels with $30 breakfast buffets that aren't included in the room rate, I guess this isn't the right hotel for you. The location is fantastic--steps from the Kendall Square T stop, close to Tech Square, close to all the Kendall Square corporate offices. There's a good slow-food espresso shop--Voltage Coffee--a short walk from the hotel. It's also walking distance from the Mary Chung's end of Mass. Ave, so there are a lot of good restaurants in walking distance if you consider that a reasonable walk (not everyone will). read more

What a find this hotel was! My husband and son just had a weekend here and they felt welcomed from the moment they walked through the doors. They felt right at home and that was thanks to the fantastic staff, and warm environment. Side note, I called ahead with a minor request that was fulfilled with 100% satisfaction. read more

We got a good deal on this hotel on expedia and were very pleased with our stay. We are both MIT alums and were looking for a place near campus when we returned for a visit that would be convenient when we were spending late nights on campus. This was very close to both campus and the T, making it easy for us to get around for the whole weekend. Their breakfast spread is pretty impressive: scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes/french toast, oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, fruit & toast. Our room was in the part of the hotel that was the renovated firehouse, and was quite charming with it's odd (but functional) layout and slanted ceilings. We had free internet for the weekend and the staff was friendly and not in your face all the time like at chain hotels (half the time we didn't even see them at the desk). The doors to the rooms could use dampers to keep them from slamming loudly - and the gap under our door was about 2.5" big so hallway noise was audible (but not terribly intrusive) in the room. We would definitely consider staying here again. read more

What could it hurt to call??? A lot actually. My conference was cancelled within a few hours of making a reservation. I didn't realize I made a non-refundable booking and called to see if there was anything that could be done. The first agent told me that I would receive a credit for 100% of the purchase price which could be used at a different time, which seemed generous, especially since it was my fault. She also told me that because I was calling within 5 hours of making the reservation, I should try speaking to a reservation manager. I wasn't expecting much more, but I thought, what could it hurt to call? Well, the reservation manager got on the phone with her fangs out and was extremely rude from the moment she said hello. She also decreased the credit to 50% to use at a later time. I have never had a manager offer less than an employee did, and honestly I've never had someone in customer service be so hostile and nasty on the phone. I was simply calling to ask, and would have been fine with what was initially offered, especially since it was my mistake. But there is no way I would want to encounter some this rude in person, and no way I would stay at this hotel. I will take the loss and find somewhere else. There are plenty of other hotel options in Boston that don't hire rude managers. read more

I like this hotel very much: my room was fairly large, tastefully decorated, comfortable and quiet. There's strong, fast Wi-Fi. The staff is friendly and helpful. The neighbors (Google, the Broad Institute) come across as upstanding citizens. The room has plush terrycloth robes, which some people like a lot. On the other hand, the shower flow was not great -- it was hard to get a decent shower. I liked the free hotel breakfast: coffee is set out on the bar well before the official opening hour of the breakfast room, and there's enough in the breakfast room itself (eggs, bacon, potatoes, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit,...) to make most diners very happy. My room was kind of dark. Heavy drapes obscure a lot of the daylight, even when they're open. There's only one elevator for the whole building; it's quite slow. (There are stairs, however!) My room had no available outlet for laptop charging; I had to unplug a lamp in order to draft this review. (The front desk staff told me that this is a known issue and that soon most rooms will have a handy outlet at the desk for the charging of personal electronic devices.) All in all, things are pretty good at the Kendall Hotel. I would be very happy to come back any time. read more

VERY pleased with our stay here! Reasonably-priced and a GREAT location right on the Red Line in Cambridge on the MIT campus. Reading some other reviews, the experience was like staying in a B&B, as the building had been converted from an old fire station. Quaint throughout, with a little restaurant/wine bar downstairs. Every room is different. Plenty of good restaurants nearby, and the subway is right across the street - easy access to the rest of the city. So happy we stayed here! We'll be going back in a few weeks! read more

Kendall Square on the (whichever) Red Line! Before I was hired by MIT, I'd often have to come up for a week's stay. This place came recommended to me by the people with whom I now work. It has a very nice, bed-and-breakfast, feel to it, but they have 4 stories worth of rooms. The beds are huge and comfortable. They've got free wi-fi. Their built-in (albeit very small) restaurant serves a decent breakfast in the morning, and a solid meal for dinner. They give you free schwag as a part of your stay. Perfect location right next to the T, and a reasonable walk to MIT ampus. Room prices are damn good for being in the middle of Cambridge/MIT. I dunno, I'm not too picky when it comes to staying in a hotel, but I'd definitely recommend this place. Like a good bed-and-breakfast should, it makes you feel like you're staying in a room at someone's home instead of the typical sterile hotel environment. read more

Very interesting charming spot with many repro antiques and a roaring fireplace. Staff was helpful. Great for people doing business in the area not within walking distance of much else on a very cold winter's day. Breakfast was a show stopper - a pig feast - for those who love bacon - excellent coffee and treats in the room to boot. Pastry to die for and healthy things if you must be sensible. I would stay there again but would need to get a lift up into the bed so if you are vertically challenged ask for a room with a normal bed height. Also it was not inexpensive when I booked and there is a surcharge added for internet and breakfast - but if you can find a great deal online hook up with the Kendall. Also not much in the way of street parking but very close to the subway line. They also have wine in the afternoon but not on the weekends when I was there. Still charming! Thumbs up. read more

This hotel has style. It is not only a place to stay overnight but a great place to meet, socialize, and make friends. All of the interior is designed to transport you back in time and I felt that this was also reflected in the way the hotel guests appeared: relaxed, friendly, uncomplicated, open. A self-serve breakfast is included and is a great way to get in contact with other guests. Throughout the day, a bowl of apples is available right at the check-in counter. Service at the counter is extremely pleasant. On the roof of the building is a small but lovely furnished meeting room with a computer and printer. This room is transformed into an open bar every day from 5 to 6 pm where guests mingle and enjoy free wine. It is located right across from Google at the edge of the MIT campus and at a subway station. read more

I spent several days at the Kendall while on a business trip. On these trips I usually stay at one of the larger chains so the Kendall was a really nice change. As another review remarked, the Kendall has many characteristics of a B&B. Rooms are very nice and homey. Staff is friendly and helpful and the breakfast is not elaborate but is very good. Location is great, within walking distance of MIT, lots of restaurants, and right on the Red Line. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. read more

I chose this hotel because of its location to MIT, and the T station so that I don't need to drive in Boston. I found the location is excellent as it was advertised. The hotel's front portion is based on the historical Engine 7 house. Most of the rooms are in the newly (2002) constructed 7-floor building. Our room was in the back portion of the building. Outside the windows is a busy loading dock belongs to the MIT. The activities goes on day and night thus produces noise almost continuously during our 4 days' stay. Besides, there was a skate board party by some young people on the dock one night from about 1AM and lasted for at least a couple of hours. My wife had a very difficult time to sleep. I spoke with the front desk about the issues. But the lady told me that she does not know how to take care of the problem. Although she offered us to change room for the next night, there was no assurance not to have different noise in the new room. Thus we declined her offer. She never did apologize for the problem. Generally the male staff at front desk are pretty nice and helpful, the female staff and the restaurant workers are not. The ladies who attend the breakfast bar look unhappy most of the time. Breakfast buffet was oversold. There are some hot items, but they are exactly the same items for all 4 days during our stay. We were pretty tired of eating pancake, bacon and scramble eggs every morning. Otherwise there are have very few selection of items. We never did fine scone or sausage as they advertized. Our room was nicely decorated. Bed and pillows are reasonably comfortable. But there is no fridge or coffee maker in the room. The lobby does not offer coffee, tea or water. When I asked for some hot water to make tea, I was sent to the restaurant where they will sell a cup of tea for money. I thought this is ridiculous for a hotel who charges $250 a night for the room. Air condition did not work during our stay for the entire hotel. Anything comes from the vent is warm air. When the room gets too warm, the only way to cool down is to open the windows. Then, of course, it brings all the noise inside too. We found ourselves in between a rock and a hard place - either bare with the heat or the noise. Business center is a multi-purpose room. There is no way that we can use the computer when they have meetings in the room. It is also being used as banquet room for restaurant guests during dinner time. When there is finally no other activities in the room, I found the printer has a leaking cartridge which produces bad quality prints. I tried to print my boarding pass before I left, but I could not get a good quality print to work. Overall, we were very disappointed on this hotel despite of other good reviews. read more

What a find! Adorable and homey. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. The bed and pillows were high quality and comfortable. Excellent proximity to MIT and kits of walkable dining options. We plan to stay here again when we visit. read more

We stayed at the Kendall Hotel December 25th-December 30th, 2015 and it was absolutely amazing! We arrived about 5:30pm on Christmas Day and we were greeted by very friendly staff. Since it was Christmas night (and most restaurants were closed), they had wonderful wine and cheese as well as a buffet for their guests and staff (no charge to us!). Our room was exactly as it was pictured on the internet. I would give our room an A+ for both cleanliness and comfort. We chose this hotel because of the history of a restored Fire House and we were not disappointed; the decor was perfect. Each morning we would enjoy the fabulous breakfast buffet (scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes/french toast, muslei, oatmeal, fruit, coffee, tea, and juices to name a few). After our breakfast, we would go about 1 block to the T Station to start our adventure for the day. You can't get any better than that!!! We will definitely visit Boston again and I wouldn't stay anywhere, but the Kendall Hotel. read more

This was the most hospitable stay at a hotel that I've had in years! And I do travel a lot. Staff (Ryan ) were so welcoming and helpful. Thank you so much for making me a list for more vegan discoveries around Cambridge! This is our 4th time to Boston and this visit has confirmed a future visit! I absolutely loved my room! With a jacuzzi tub! Nightly wine hour and nuts were a great way to welcome us back every night! Thank you Leilani for more wine! read more

I was prepared to love the Kendall after their extremely prompt response to an email inquiry, but found myself on the fence. They offered me the same rate as the Hyatt Regency's best price, and were closer to my conference, but I found a few touches left by the wayside. The hotel is quaint, and a bit small - built in an old firehouse. If you go for charming and New England and don't mind things being a bit basic, then you'll be quite happy. The room was clean and had no "hotel smell" that seems to come with every over fragranced room these days. For this allergy sufferer, no Febreeze, candle, perfume or oil diffuser scent was fantastic. They also did not use down pillows or bedding, which also made me (and my allergies) very happy. The free WiFi also made me happy, but it didn't work reliably during my stay. Thank goodness for my Verizon wifi card. The staff was basically polite, but not attentive, and seemed quite anxious to finish with each customer quickly and get back to whatever they had going on before the guest walked up. I was surprised to see that a hotel with a restaurant in it didn't offer room service of any kind, nor did they offer a small coffee set up in the room. Those little in-room coffee pots and/or room service are something I look for. Not all of us should go forth and be amongst people at the hotel continental breakfast line *before* we've had coffee, trust me. I was also surprised that the hotel restaurant The Black Sheep closed so early in a town like Boston, but in retrospect, there wasn't anything truly close by to inspire them to keep it open beyond their own guests. As for parking, I was truly grateful my car is so compact, otherwise I'm not sure it would have fit into their driveway, much less any of their spaces. I ended up leaving it and walking everywhere I went while in town. Overall, this is a perfectly passable hotel, with pleasant staff and a nice location if you want to be in the business part of Cambridge or in the lap of MIT's campus. That said, I'll probably go for the chains next time, since I can expect more hotel amenities (like room service, for example) at the same or similar pricing while there. read more

My daughter recommended three hotels just because they were near Kendall Square. We wanted one with a kitchen, so the choice became Residence Inn (Marriott chain) or the family owned Kendall Hotel. It looked like Residence was cheaper, but that's only because their quote didn't include the fees, taxes, etc. We chose Kendall as a "decent choice". BOY were we surprised! Great place, cozy rooms, perfect for us and our two kids (they were okay with one extra for a night or two for my other daughter). Breakfast was buffet American style (scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, french toast or pancakes, toast, cereal, pastries, coffee and a few other things ... I forget). I really liked the staff; human with a sense of humor (I tried to haggle a week's worth of our stay's cost by $1.20... we got a giggle out of it... Almost got a chocolate bar! We did get a t-shirt). I could get used to this as home. My daughters agreed.... We never did get to the "rooftop" (it's enclosed) wine tasting they have for most evenings. The restaurant they have downstairs was wonderful, but careful of the price tag. It's expensive though very good. For variety, there is a "Legal Seafood" restaurant right across the street which has a larger menu but is MUCH more expensive. It's right across from the "T" and within walking distance from places like the Science Museum. Free Internet. Fast There is parking for a fee per day. It sucks for a large car like the Tahoe we rented. read more

Charmingly decorated with antiques and an artistic sensibility, the Kendall is a lovely historic hotel in a converted brick firehouse just a block from the inbound T to Boston. The room was very comfortable with a firm King bed, ceiling fan, windows that actually open, a refrigerator and microwave, coffemaker, digital TV and WiFi. The room also featured a couch, coffee table and desk. There was coffee available at all hours in the lobby. Delicious full breakfast, included in the room rate, features scrambled eggs, sausage, French toast, croissants and pastries, fruit, granola, yogurt, juice, coffee and tea. Staff was very friendly. Across the street from a Marriott with a Champions sports bar. And the room rate was extremely reasonable, especially for Cambridge! We will definitely stay here again. read more

This is a very nice hotel. The staff are friendly and the in-house restaurant is more like bed and breakfast fare and tasty. I would stay here again, but I do think it is pricey. read more

3.7 stars I got to stay here for free when I was moving out of Boston. I didn't have a bed, and was totally exhausted. At that point, motel 6 would have been a welcome sight, but luckily my friend and ex-roommate put me up here. Now, it wasn't all rainbows and roses. . .although that was kind of the problem. the decor of my room was very "grandma wants a cape cod" feel. Not really my vibe, but I could see it working for a certain slice of society. Secondly, the room didn't have a channel listing for the TV and the staff seemed a little. . .how do I say this. . . undertrained. I wanted to watch something on comedy central as I passed out, so I called the front desk and was told: "We don't get that station" "Uh, it says here full cable" "that is correct sir" "well, comedy central is in pretty much every basic cable lineup" "please hold" *comes back* "It's channel 37 sir" "Thanks!" I mean really, they've got everything else crammed into my room, including a king sized bed, could they not fit a single sheet of paper into a binder? All in all it was a pleasant experience, and I'd stay there again. . . I'd just wait to walk in at a minute after midnight, so I could rock the bed as much as possible. read more

Found a good deal on Hotels.com for this place ($180/night) and the Yelp reviews were pretty positive for the most part, so I tried it out for a couple of nights when I was in the area for business. To echo some of the other Yelpers' sentiments, this is a really cozy, quaint hotel. The hotel is also steps away from the Kendall T stop on the red line and it's easy to get to/from the airport from this stop. Other than that, I didn't find anything at the Kendall Hotel to be extraordinary. A few Yelpers praised it for the customer service, but it didn't seem exceptional to me. In fact, when I first go there and was checking in at the front desk (around 9 pm when it was hardly busy), the front desk clerk answered the phone just as I had stepped up to the counter and proceeded to chat it up with someone (who I'm guessing also worked there ) to tell him/her about her not-so-busy day. I stood there waiting for at least 5 minutes listening to a clearly non-important conversation. The hotel also doesn't offer room service (and the kitchen at their in-house restaurant closes at 9:45 pm). I don't usually order room service, but I got in late and hadn't had dinner yet and it was on my company's tab anyway. There's a Legal Seafoods bar/restaurant across the street, which seemed to be the only dining option, at that time of night, within walking distance. I had to catch a cab to the office one morning and unfortunately they don't have a taxi stand outside. You either have to ask the front desk to call a cab for you, or walk around the block to the Marriott's taxi stand. read more

I had to spend a week in Cambridge for training and this was one of the few hotels within blocks of the location. I had a choice between this and the two Marriots. Of course I chose this because it looked like it had the most personality. I'm sure glad I did. I just ended my 5 night stay there. They have a nice homey feeling with their boutique hotel / bed & breakfast model. The lobby was full of persanilty and felt comfortable hanging out there. I kept on meaning to ask for down pillows instead of the flat poly fill ones. Their restaurant downstairs was really good too. read more

Perfectly located near Harvard, cute and well priced - a winning combination for frugal New Englanders! The service was sweet and personalized. I loved the breakfast included and hanging out near the fire. The Wifi was the fastest I have ever had at any hotel. I even worked out at the gym up the street in Technology Square. Would definitely come back. read more

Very friendly staff, comfortable spacious room and good hot buffet breakfasts. The only downside for us (and the reason this isn't a four star review) was a noisy refrigerator in the room which we had to unplug and noise overnight from our third floor rooms (303) proximity to the lift shaft. For us Kendall was an ideal location to explore the City, we recommend you pickup a free Charliecard as it makes using the nearby subway super easy. read more

This is for the hotel-- I only ate breakfast in the restaurant, I didn't order anything off their menu, so I really don't think I can judge. I stayed here one weekend and really, really enjoyed the hotel. It's next to MIT and the Kendall stop on the red line, but I was able to walk everywhere. The room I had was very nice: super comfy beds, a desk and sitting area for reading, nice bathroom. I was also down the hallway from the solarium (?) which was nice since checking email on a phone is not always where it's at. The breakfast was a little harried on the weekend, but I ate, and well at that! I loved that it was a boutique hotel that still had the kind of amenities I'd expect from a larger place. Super helpful desk staff as well. I would absolutely stay at the Kendall again. read more

I would definitely come back. I stayed here with my teenage daughter to commute to a Harvard camp. It is only one block to the red line and only 2 stops away to Harvard Square. Also on the bus line, across from the MIT coop, and a post office one block away. We saw a movie at Harvard Square one night - only a block from T-line. Hotels are pricey near Harvard and I paid around $170 per night for a double room. The alternateive was $200 and up. The Kendall is very carefully decorated for a folk-art theme and it is absolutely adorable! Free internet (fast) and a hearty breakfast were big pluses. read more

I really enjoyed my stay here. I had gotten a fairly decent rate deal through a comedy festival I was in town for, so that would be atypical of most but I imagine probably close to what the deals are on priceline/expedia. I thought the breakfast buffet was better than typical hotels, in fact I had just stayed at a Homewood Suites the week before and thought this was a major step up. The bacon especially was a standout. I'll be one of many other reviewers to say that it very much feels like a blend of a B&B and a hotel. It has the multi-room and more private feel of a hotel with the decor and coziness of a B&B. I thought the staff was very friendly. I didn't have a car with me but the Red Line for the T was right in front of the building so it made it a very convenient location to jump back and forth from on my travels. I could pop back to the hotel to drop bags and stuff off and go out quickly, especially during the week when the trains are on a regular schedule. If I go back to Boston this will be my first choice of hotel. read more

King Kendall! Yes that's how they make you feel at the Kendall. Like a King! We checked into the hotel at 2am because our flight was very late. The front desk clerk was still very friendly and informative. He put us in a great room with comfy beds and beautiful and quirky decor. The history behind this hotel is fascinating! It's a restored Fire house. The management pays tribute to their fire house past with great decor and art all throughout the lobby and halls. The rooms are also unique! Every morning from 7am to 10am they offer a fabulous breakfast buffet! Yes they have hot foods like scrambled eggs, French toast potatoes, fresh fruit, muslei granola, croissants and scones! Delicious! There are an array of juices and great coffee and tea. The breakfast is truly amazing! The location is great. Located across from Google and walking to MIT there is a T station stop about 1 block away two stops to Harvard. And if that's not enough, M-Th they offer a complimentary wine reception in the afternoon. This hotel is a gem. I can't wait to come back to Boston so we can stay here again. Don't forget the basket of fresh apples in the lobby, iPad use to help plan your trip and a great restaurant The Black Sheep. Don't miss this place! read more

If a bed & breakfast mated with a boutique hotel, and had a pretty little baby, that would be the Kendall Hotel. The complimentary breakfast buffet is decent too. My only gripe with the Kendall is the woman who books the reservations over the phone had a horrible attitude, and refused to meet the posted Hotels.com price. A mere $5 cheaper. read more

If you're looking for a quaint, cozy, and charming place to stay near MIT and Kendall Square, you're done looking. I put my family up here in December, and they had a wonderfully pleasant experience. The sixth floor double queen-bed room was immaculately clean and the little firestation trinkets really gave it a warm feel. The continental buffet breakfast, included in the charge for the night, was delicious. The fresh squeezed orange juice was a fine compliment to the bacon and eggs. The staff was also bent over backwards to accommodate all of our requests, and stowed our luggage while we did some afternoon shopping. And while some people have noted that the Kendall can be pricey, look for their weekend bargains! Except around MIT commencement, the Kendall Hotel is generally cheaper than the Marriott next door. read more

Nice place, good food, parking (a bit tight, think Europe). Free bottle of wine in the room. Perfect location for MIT, steps away. And get this, Internet has speeds from 50-100 Mbps, faster than Google's network across the street. And there's no charge. Great spot. read more

Great little hotel built in a converted fire station. Lots of antiques and nick-nacks in the rooms and throughout the hotel. Excellent buffet breakfast is included in the room price -- has eggs (scrambled and hard-boiled), bacon, home fries, oatmeal, danishes, fruit, meats, cheeses, various breads, cereals, yogurt, juices, etc. They have a social hour from 5-6pm each day, serving free wine on the top floor sun room. The staff is very nice. One evening, about 11pm, I met the manager and several other staffers who were drinking a bit of wine together. Great location adjacent to MIT campus and next to a red line (subway) station. I was not familiar with the area when I booked, but this property was slightly cheaper than others in the area, so I'm very happy I found it! I recommend this place. read more

Very charming stay. We stayed in a quaint room with a very comfortable bed, complete with old wedding photos adorning the walls. I would say more of a B&B feel than a hotel. Great location - close to the T and the riverside, perfect for a postprandial stroll. Dinner - ate dinner at the restaurant. Pretty good food and phenomenal service. Only suggestion is to not sit on the side of the building if you choose to sit outside. The hotel's dumpster is behind a large fenced-in eating area, but you could see rats running to and from the dumpster, behind the fence. Not so pleasant. read more

This is one of the best hotels in Cambridge. Definitely going to stay here again. Hotel is clean. Staff is friendly. Morning breakfast is excellent. Little extra touches made it a great stay.
