I recently stayed at this Hampton Inn for five days, while taking a class at the Museum of Science Boston. I was very satisfied with most all aspects of the hotel. I had a quiet room (on the back side of the property). The breakfasts were typical Hampton Inn - cereal, hot dish, make-your-own waffles, and the serving staff were... More

First - for the location, the price was really good! I was on the top floor, street side. I had no issues with noise while sleeping from 'traffic'. There is VERY little traffic on that street after about 8pm. Internet speeds were acceptable at around 1.5Mb download and a little better on the upload (not good, but I've seen much... More

We have been visiting our college age kids in Boston periodically for the last 5 years. We have tried many hotels in different locations. Overall this hotel was satisfactory but nothing special. I have listed good and bad points below: The Good: Free Parking - others charge $20-$40 per day. Their garage was secure and clean although some of the... More

Clean and comfy room, no parking fee which is unheard of in Boston, and friend staff. Will be back to this great establishment!

Stayed here for the Mararthon in April. As like most hotels, prices are inflated for the race weekend. Chose the Hampton based on free parking and complimentary breakfast. To summarize: the front desk staff were helpful. The other staff, especially cleaning staff seemed completely disinterested in their work and it showed. The parking is a great plus if your have...

I almost hate to share this find, but have to do it! This was our third stay in this hotel while in Boston for various family events over the past five years. It's a little out of the way in Cambridge, but at several dollars per night less than anywhere else, the complimentary breakfast, and the FREE parking, it's a... More

I stay here regularly for work (10+ times a year). The people who work here, from the front desk staff and breakfast crew, to the maids and maintenance folks are all great. It is less than a block from the Lechmere "T" stop (subway/tram/bus), one block to a Dunkin' Donuts, two blocks from the Cambridge Commuter Bus stop, and three... More

Breakfast was also Hampton standard, but I would commend the service staff for keeping everything fresh, full and clean on a very busy morning. Will return to this hotel for... More
