I needed a last minute room in Cambridge during peak tourist season. I called the hotel directly and they were able to accommodate me and give me a rate below what was published on the web. Even though we arrived after 10 pm the hotel was busy. The front desk person quickly took care of us and even offered to... More

We stayed in the Best Western Tria on May 20 for one night and really wanted to like the hotel. The location was great for us, the beds were comfortable and the price was fair. BUT we woke to find a large (2 inch long) cockroach in our bathroom (room 137). After disposing of it and shaking off the creepy... More

My daughter and I flew out from west coast to visit colleges in the Cambridge area this past April. The Hotel Tria proved to be so centrally located we were able to visit all the colleges in the area with relative ease, regardless of their point on the compass. The hotel is located within walking distance of a major subway... More

The hotel was clean and neat, breakfast was hot and good. About a 10 minute walk to the red line at Alewife. Good place to sleep for sure, about 30 minutes to Boston via subway.

This hotel had a very nice lobby and lobby bar. Room was furnished upscale. Good size, high end linens, flat screen tv. We booked on Priceline for $95. Located on the circle less than 1/2 mile from Alewife Stop on the T. Also close to the highways. Free Parking, internet, and full buffet breakfast. With Eggs/sausage/ make your own waffles,... More

Although the hotel doesnt look quite as glamorous as the pictures show, it was very good and a pleasant stay. Very convenient to getting to downtown Boston which is a beautiful city to visit. Breakfast was plentiful, service good and rooms were clean. Free internet and shuttle to Harvard square where you can quickly get the train downtown. Or if... More

This hotel was very hard for me too find, but once we found it, the staff was very pleasant, courteous and extremely helpful. The room were very clean and had a nice clean smell to it. The staff made some suggestions as to what sites to see while we were in town, and even told us about their free shuttle... More

Boston doesn't seem to have many reasonably priced places to stay, and the bright lights of the big city hotels were, at $1,500 plus for five nights, well out of my price range. Finding Hotel Tria meant I could actually afford to stay in a reasonably close location to Boston. Hotel Tria is actually in Cambridge, MA, rather than Boston,... More

I needed a hotel that was close to public transportation at a reasonable price to spend 4 nights during marathon weekend. Choices were limited and downtown/back bay cost was prohibitive. I think that my expectations were realistic and I was pleasantly surprised. As many of the reviews say, the T stop is about a 10 minute walk and yes it... More
