My boyfriend and I needed a place to stay for one night as we passed through Boston on New Year's Eve. After a lot of research online and what I consider is also a great stroke of luck, I was able to find us a room available at A Cambridge House for around $150, which I thought was a good deal considering it was a holiday and most other B&B's were booked solid, and most also wanted at least a two night minimum for bookings. This place gave us everything we had hoped for. Here's the lowdown:DECOR: Stunning, romantic, ornate decor, very special for people who don't do this sort of thing very often. It was very cold in Boson that night but both the place in general and our room in particular were warm and cozy. Very plush. As pretty as its website promises. Some hotels have misleading photos online, but this B&B really is as quaint in person as their photos.ROOM: Our room was still really beautiful. The four poster canopy bed was a treat, the sheets and comforter and pillows were the most comfortable of any hotel I've ever stayed in. The little settee was charming, and there was a working fireplace in the room, which was very nice. (The fireplace was romantic, but small, and more for the idea than for the romance as there wasn't room to sit on the floor near the fireplace; you could just sit on the end of the bed bear the fireplace... it's hard to explain.)The only down side of the room is that it's pretty small. Mostly the room is the bed. There's a settee, a TV and a closet, but that's all - very close quarters. But - if you find their web site through google, you can check out photos of the rooms scattered through their (poorly indexed/designed) web site. If you check all the photos, you can get a good sense of the different rooms, color schemes, etc. Since I booked this place only a few days before New Year's Eve, the room we wanted was not available, and we got one that was a little more girly than we generally prefer (lots of pastel pinks and oranges). That said, it was still beautiful,d treats at certain times, though we missed the hors d'ourvers because we were out. The breakfast was delicious. Best french toast I've had in a long time. Fresh fruit, cereals, omlettes, whatever you like made to order (within reason, or course). Slow in terms of preparation, but to look at it positively, when you're at a place like this, it's nice to slow down and not rush. (Of course, you have to go out for lunch and dinner, since it's a B&B, not a hotel.)VALUE:We booked last minute on a major holiday and were still able to get a good deal. Perhaps that is because Cambridge and Boston aren't hugely popular as winter tourist destinations, but I thought it was worth our money and more. A room at an impersonal, stodgy hotel would be more, and give you less. Misc:Not far from the T/subway, friendly staff, pretty quiet (though the walls are thin and if you happen to have noisy neighbors, it could get uncomfortable). A very nice place for the money, though I am not sure how I would feel if we paid $280 in high season - I guess we'll find out if we go back for my birthday in August!Enjoy!
