Marriot's Alternative For the Bargain Hunter
Front desk was courteous and clarified everything about the hotel and parking. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. I would stay there at the Residence Inn by Marriot again. Great price

Good place to rest
Very friendly desk staff (shout out to Doug) and the room was clean. Bed was very hard and uncomfortable to me. Breakfast was pretty common. Lots of places to eat within walking distance.

Deceptive billing
List of hidden fees including a destination fee which you can only use at their bar. So they make you pay them to use only at their hotel. I liked the hotel itself but I despise deceptive billing.

Breakfast was gross. Egg discs and oddly colored sausage and utterly disgusting oatmeal. No bacon. I couldn’t eat anything other than the potatoes.

Awesome hotel!!!
This hotel is awesome!!! We got in to Boston early on the Amtrak, and we were allowed to check in super early (very much appreciated from the weary travelers). The room was very spacious with a queen bed and pull out sofa bed. Breakfast was offered in the morning 7-10am and complimentary tea, water, and pastries were offered in the afternoon. Super convenient and walking distance to MIT and the Kendall red line station (quick trip into downtown Boston). My only complaint is that the $25 daily food and beverage credit had to be used at the bar from 5-9pm, when we were already out and about in the city. It would be nice if that credit could be used at the hotel market for drinks or snacks. Overall, I was very satisfied and will stay here again if I’m back in Cambridge!

I was only in Cambridge for one day, but my room was a wonderful oasis. The only complaint I have is about the toilet paper, which is far below the quality I would expect in such a fine property.
Finally, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate me with both early check in and late check out, which was deeply appreciated!
