Everything at this hotel, down to the framed art in the bathrooms and the bedspread design, is mathematical. I'm not a big math person, but I thought this was a great touch seeing as the hotel is located a stone's throw away from MIT. My only wish for this hotel: That I could've stayed longer. I was only there for... more

I gave this three circles, but really it's more a combination of one circle and five circles. I booked the room through Priceline on Columbus Day/Red Sox playoff day/college visiting day weekend. It was the best deal available. The location for us was excellent, on the west side of MIT, near Mass Ave. A short distance over the bridge to... more

The best thing I can say about this hotel is that, for my husband and me, the location is ideal. Our son lives only three blocks away, and I can walk there even with my bad hip. Otherwise, it's way overpriced. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but we can get that at less expensive hotels. The... more

This hotel seems mainly for the business crowd. Having said that the rooms were well decorated and furnished. If you do not mind walking then the location is great as it is mid way between Harward and MIT, however the subway station is not that far either. Whilst breakfast is not included there are a number of cafes and restaurents... more

We stayed at the Le Meridien in Cambridge this past Labor day weekend. The weather that weekend in Boston was sunny and 75 degrees, so needless to say, we weren't in the room very often. However, the hotel provided a great place to crash after a long day walking on the Freedom trail and browsing around Quincy market. The beds... more

Le Meridien Cambridge was an enjoyable experience. The rooms were comfortable, attractive, and super clean. Rooms were quiet- did not hear any hall noise although there were many others on our floor. The bathroom was clean, towels large and fluffy. (I do wish they had bathrobes as stated on the web site.) Room service was overpriced, but decent food. I... more

I regretfully have to write this review. This hotel is a trendy upscale hotel in close proximity to a college. The decor is modern. The rooms are great!! The service is at best poor. Upon check-in the Valet/Bellman was unprepared and working alone. The front desk staff lacked the usual customer friendly enthusiasm. I called down for my vehicle to... more

I chose this hotel for our trip to Boston for the fact that they have queen sized beds, not doubles, in the reasonably priced room, and that it has recently been renovated. We were not disappointed. The room is very comfortable and although there were 3 of us in the room (2 queen beds) for 4 nights, we did not... more

1/1 found this review helpful

I arrived at about 2:40 pm and the front desk clerk said, "Guaranteed check-in time is 3 pm - we're still turning over rooms". I checked my luggage and went for a walk around the neighborhood; returned about an hour later. I waited at the front desk for several minutes while the clerk called housekeeping trying to locate a room... more
