Cambridge Hoteller

Fordeler: Proximity to river and adjacent to mall. Convenient for getting less expensive breakfasts - au pain dunkin donuts.......

Ulemper: Housekeeping for room was so so

Fordeler: Everything was perfect, like every minute of my stay.

Fordeler: Great location and service was very good.

Fordeler: Everything. Starting with the deco going from the confortable rooms and ending with the amazing food.

Fordeler: Super location Lovely scent in lobby Great staff - upstairs and down

Ulemper: 10am breakfast end. Went for a morning run so ended up at food court next door.

Fordeler: Best sleep of my life

Ulemper: a bit isolated from things, was here for a wedding but really not close to transport or much else.

Fordeler: Clean and friendly

Fordeler: We chose the hotel thinking we had to bring our dog with us and this was pet friendly. Turned out we did not need to bring him. We were so surprised at how nice everything was. Well appointed, lots of little surprises like wine on arrival, reasonable parking that was good for several hours after checkout, everything spotless and tasteful and quiet.

Fordeler: Bath robes were a great addition

Fordeler: I travel a lot for both business and pleasure and I can honestly say that this is one of the nicest hotels ever! The place is beautiful, the food excellent, and the staff bends over backward to accommodate.

Ulemper: no negatives

Fordeler: - mall right next door

Fordeler: Location, location, location....

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordeler: Heated bathroom floors, reading lights above bed.

Ulemper: No gym.

Fordeler: Nice boutique hotel. Incredibly friendly staff. I loved the high-quality coffee available 24/7 (Nespresso, not K-cups!). Also, water, orange juice, and soda available anytime for no charge.

Fordeler: Location was excellent. The room was very nice and comfortable. Excellent farm to table restaurant and bar.

Ulemper: Although they had a parking garage, the elevator to the lobby was out of order so you had to take the stairs and the stairs lead to outside the front entrance. Very inconvenient if carrying any bags from the car and also because of sub-zero temps that weekend. Also no in and out access for self parking at $40 per night. If you leave you have to pay again.

Fordeler: Location was great with excellent service and nice trait ants around in the plaza

Fordeler: One great thing about Harvard Square is the high energy and bustle, especially when school is in session. What makes The Charles so perfect is that it is a tranquil respite right on the edge of all the happenings.

Fordeler: The Charles is a perfect place to stay in Cambridge. It is well located, well designed with contemporary clean lines but still warm, and the Rialto is a fabulous restaurant in the hotel. We had a corner room which was quite spacious which we really appreciated as we were staying multiple nights.

Fordeler: Well decorated rooms. Convenient to Harvard square

Ulemper: Officious front desk staff. Being told they couldn't change our departure and charges despite a family emergency because it was our fault we used a third party reservation service. Being told entirely dissimilar rooms were the same. Smelly comforter covered by clean sheets. No coffee maker in room. Ice available only on request from room service.

Fordeler: Excellent service and superior restaurant. Very friendly staff who facilitated the check in and out as well as the luggage. I was in and out many times with my 7 year old grandson and he was always greeting with a smile. My daughter belongs to your health club and so they are used to going to your hotel. Overall, a well located, efficient and very quiet hotel.

Ulemper: The room was very drafty near the windows- lots of cold air coming in

Fordeler: Everything is within walking distance as I enjoyed a glorious autumn afternoon. I browsed endless rows of books at the Coop, watched rowers glide along the Charles River and ran stairs at Harvard Stadium while the football team engaged in a spirited practice. When I returned to the hotel, the room smelled great. They must have a special scent. I enjoyed the organic soap, shampoo and lotion that came with the room. Henrietta's Table is great for breakfast / brunch, and I highly recommend The Harvest for dinner. A very nice stay.

Fordeler: Best Hotel in Cambridge/ location is perfect

Fordeler: The Charles Hotel is centrally located in Cambridge, so it's very easy to get around the town. We walked wherever we needed to go and got there quickly and easily. The hotel has several dining options and an actual fitness club, not just a room with some cardio equipment and universal equipment. The wifi works well and the staff were all very helpful. It's pretty expensive to stay here, but we found a good deal on one of the discount hotel sites. I'd return in a heart beat.

Fordeler: Great location near the center of Harvard Square. Rialto is an excellent restaurant. Regatta Bar is great if you like jazz.

Ulemper: Hotel is in need of renovation. New England shabby-chic means it's just a basic hotel in terms of cleanliness and room amenities. Bathrooms are seriously dated and in need of complete redo. Service levels are mediocre. Business center is a joke (1 computer and an attached printer). Prices are very high: you are paying for the location.

Fordeler: The ambiance and the company. The gathering spaces were so clean and well-apportioned. I did prepare my morning meal, and was quite satisfied. Wide selection of on-trend coffees.

Ulemper: A black-out curtain in the rooms to shield against outside light would be appreciated. All the guests were pleasant and interesting, but I could have benefited by other guests' mindfulness of wearing heavy shoes inside the house.

Fordeler: Convenient Quiet Comfortable Had all essentials without superfluous luxury Unfortunately cafe/restaurant was not open yet

Fordeler: Location

Ulemper: No desk. Stains on sheet.

Fordeler: Staff was extremely friendly

Ulemper: Water for shower did not heat up in the morning- was forced to take a lukewarm shower. Did eventually heat up before my girlfriend took a shower.

Fordeler: Praktisk Stille Komfortabelt Hadde alle nødvendigheter uten unødvendig luksus Dessverre kafé/restaurant var ikke åpne, men

Fordeler: Beliggenhet

Ulemper: Ingen resepsjon. Flekker på arket.

Fordeler: All very clean. Great view. Great location

Ulemper: 1. Only one drawer 2. No desk or desk chair 3. Lighting was strange. 4. No "instruction" sheet.

Fordeler: wait staff in Champions was very good

Ulemper: shortage of drawer space. lighting was awkward. bathroom was poorly laid out. amenities were not very good

Fordeler: The location.

Ulemper: They offered none of the amenities that typically are offered free at any other hotel I have stayed in. Very low value for the top money they ask for. I won't be staying there again on my next trip to Cambridge.

Fordeler: Convenient location. Clean room. Very helpful and pleasant staff.

Ulemper: It's shocking that for the price you pay for a room at a Marriott that Wi-Fi or wired Internet connectivity is not free. Really? Bathroom vanity was very small, too small for two people to be getting ready at the same time. The under-mounted bathroom sink wasn't installed under the granite, vanity top correctly...surprisingly low build quality or QA, again, for the price of a room at a Marriott.

Fordeler: Location to the T- able to access the whole city from the hotel

Ulemper: Room was small for price

Fordeler: Nice view, good shower, renovated lobby

Ulemper: Room was old and unremarkable

Fordeler: I was very pleasantly surprised at the overall professionalism and courtesy of the staff. The location cannot be beat if you're visiting MIT.

Fordeler: Close proximity to T stop is ideal.

Ulemper: Bed was lumpy, hot water in sink was dangerously scalding.

Fordeler: Alt i alt svært rent. Flott utsikt. Flott beliggenhet

Ulemper: 1. Kun én skuff 2. Ingen skrivebord eller stol 3. Belysning var merkelig. 4. Ingen "instruksjon" ark.

Fordeler: servitører i Champions var meget bra

Ulemper: Mangel på plass. belysning var upraktisk. Badet var dårlig utbygd. på hotellet var ikke veldig god

Fordeler: Near T stop Good price --Overall it got the job done for a business trip, but I would choose a corporate hotel chain for the same price next time.

Ulemper: Cold and noisy room because of not tight windows Not efficiently run or professional Breakfast was corporate continental breakfast, not a "bed and breakfast" breakfast Greeted at the front door like I didn't belong, but other than that one staff person, others were nice Trouble with providing receipts for business travel

Fordeler: Fantastic Staff and accomodations. Great access to the T and Boston.

Fordeler: The staff were so helpful, they accommodated all of our needs, room service was great, a bit pricey but the breakfast was good. Overall our stay was amazing. We have stayed before and came back because the motel is spotless the beds are clean and cloud like. We will be back again.

Fordeler: itsclean and staffs are nice and friendly

Ulemper: there was a baby and his parents livimg in the next room.the toddler was crying whole night so i could not rrst or sleep after a lomg flight there should be a separate floor for families with kids.

Fordeler: Very beautiful and comfy rooms.

Ulemper: nothing

Fordeler: Room's are well furnished and clean Bed was above average comfort

Ulemper: Lobby is ugly, even without construction Nothing stands out about the hotel.

Ulemper: Expensive and smell of Chinese or thai or some sort of food as soon as you enter the hotel

Fordeler: Staff were fantastic

Ulemper: Construction going on in the lobby Lamps were ragged and stain on the sofa

Fordeler: Staff was nice. Location is terrific for quick access to Cambridge/MIT

Ulemper: Beds only so-so and pillows not great. Bathroom fixtures and amenities are also just okay. Walls are thin. Used to think of Meridien as an upscale brand, but this is just an average hotel.

Fordeler: Nothing

Ulemper: They overbooked me and told me the day of.

Fordeler: Excellent location. Right next to MIT and Novartis.

Ulemper: 1) The temperature in the breakfast room was a bit COLD. It is a large room and one entire side is windows. I visited in mid-November. I wonder what it is like when winter sets in. 2) The water pressure in my shower was on the low side. 3) The fan in the climate control is noisy.

Fordeler: Extremely nice facilities. Sharp hotel. Fantastic location / proximity to attractions

Fordeler: All of the staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful. In particular, Daniel at the front desk and Paul at Sidney's. They went out of their way to give us insight and recommendations regarding the area and just went above and beyond in general. The king bed was very comfortable and the 3rd floor roof garden was beautiful! We had a view from our room and were so pleasantly surprised. We spent quite a bit of time in it and feel that it's a great selling point for the hotel. The hotel is very beautiful with spectacular modern lighting and art. We spent some time at Sidney's both eating and at the bar and found the food and drinks to be very tasty and reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had many options.

Ulemper: The room could use some deep cleaning. The headboard, chaise, and pendant lamp had very noticeable stains on them. The air conditioner was very noisy when it kicked off or on, loud enough to wake us up during the night.

Fordeler: The management was fantastic.

Ulemper: Having to pay $35 to park my car. Given location of hotel, how do they expect people to get there other than by car. It is not like the hotel was in downtown Boston. Should be free to Marriott members. Breakfast was o/k.

Fordeler: The hotel was incredibly clean. The fitness center had all we needed. The staff was welcoming, friendly, nice, helpful and very funny. This was a five plus star place for a cheap affordable price. We LOVED this place and we would stay at this hotel again.

Ulemper: There was nothing not to like. I truly love how clean it was. It could have done without the "NY parking charge" but as New Yorkers we get it.

Ulemper: Sawing and screwing noises woke me up at 7:30 am.

Ulemper: That it was being renovated, leading to a messy lobby, busy elevators and noisy early in the morning

Fordeler: The staff was very helpful and nice. I made a reservation for the wrong night with kayak and they guided me step by step to correct the error without penalty ( even if I already passed to deadline to cancel). While I was on the phone in the lobby the night manager brought a bottle of water free of charge.

Fordeler: Staff was great, excellent location, great breakfast (not included, at least at my rate). Comfortable room, nice bed, etc.

Ulemper: Heating didn't work, on a rather cold night. It was a bit like staying in a tent during winter camping that way. Staff indicated to me that the heating units (they were old school, but I wouldn't have minded if it worked :) are all in process of replacement.

Fordeler: Staff were pretty friendly.

Ulemper: Took 30 mins to find my booking. Rooms and facilities are old and run down. No room service. No beer on tap in the bar (i mean it is Boston) . Breakfast was expensive and poor quality and selection.

Fordeler: Great value for a roomy and spacious quiet location. I loved the shuttle it can pick you up near the stations but I wish I knew coming in instead of walking there.

Ulemper: No real amenities but there are renovations underway. Snacks were only provided on the first night not second.

Fordeler: nice view of boston--

Ulemper: too far to walk comfortably to cambridge

Fordeler: Friendly staff

Ulemper: A bit far from Boston downtown

Fordeler: Very clean and comfortable.

Ulemper: I was a single girl and I needed help with my bags which were very heavy. I called up the concierge and the front desk 4 times but no one came to pick up my bags and I had to lift 3 bags on my own..

Ulemper: Staff very insensitive - Trip was to testify in court because of my son's severe schizophrenia so that I could make medical decisions on his behalf - court date changed at last minute and they would not allow me to get a credit to move the reservation date because I booked with a travel service and not them directly. I did NOT want a refund - I just wanted some consideration to have them keep my $892 for 2 nights and move my reservation to the rescheduled court date - the manager of the hotel simply said "life happens" - they have no idea of a parent's grief over a very sick child. VERY DISAPPOINTING

Fordeler: Very clean.

Ulemper: - The free breakfast is terrible. - The wifi is very slow. - Rooms are very old-looking. - Way too expensive for what it is.

Fordeler: Clean Quiet Allowed to park (free) early before check-in Location great for accessing the T

Ulemper: I had car trouble, and all I was told from the staff was "Call AAA". There was no request if I needed any assistance or followup. Area around hotel not very nice

Fordeler: Very friendly staff

Ulemper: Location was not very nice.

Fordeler: Svært rent.

Ulemper: - gratis frokost er forferdelig. - wifi er svært sakte. - Rommene er veldig gammelt ut. - Altfor dyrt i forhold til hva det er.
