Best Holiday Accommodation Service Cambridge Near Me

T: Two rooms for our group and heating / AC broken in both... Beds only mediocre, rooms do appear to be well sound proofed though in terms of the neighbors. Traffic noise with the windows as well as pedestrians are plenty noticable still.Staff wasn't exactly the most helpful when checking in and had to rearrange our booking for some reason.Walking distance to the science museum though is it's saving grace. The cost absolutely was not worth it though... I'd recommend staying 20-30 minutes away at a nicer hotel for half the price and then just paying parking.Rooms: Average room. Uncomfortable beds. Nice bathroom. Ok pillows.Nearby activities: Boston Science Museum is fantastic.Walkability: Close enough to the Boston Science Museum and not too far from the mall...Food & drinks: Included breakfast was pretty decent.

Shannon Wentworth: We only stayed 1 night and I am glad it wasn’t more. The staff was very friendly, but the hotel is in DESPERATE need of repair and renovations. The window in our room would not close completely. Maintenance came to look. They slammed the window to close it more but the cold air still made it into the room.

Kyler Alvord: The price was not worth the experience, mostly because the front desk will give you things then quietly charge you for them, dramatically hiking your bill. The management will not get back to you about your concerns either - even after 4 attempts.

tiffany mukundi: This hotel has the BEST location for the price. It’s a 5 min walk to the train station where you can go anywhere in Boston so we didn’t need a car. On top of that, the room was spacious and CLEAN! Housekeeping did a great job with our room, we really appreciated it. The breakfast was probably the best I’ve had for continental breakfast in the past few years. Lots of variety and snacks to go! The front desk people both nights were so helpful and kind. They held our bags because our flight was late. When I came back for my bags, I noticed I left my AirPods in the room. Within 5 minutes, they brought them to me. I was so thankful and blessed. Imagine if I forgot them and I live in Georgia 😭. If I had to return to Boston, I’d stay here again.

Julian Samaroo: Clean, well stocked rooms. Slightly noisy mini fridge, but not a big deal. Location was a bit far from the action near MIT, but there was a nice little park and a strip with restaurants and such just down the road. Would stay here again!Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 4/5 …More

Roger Beaujard: This location is perfect. Super clean. Absolutely friendly staff that helped us out with more than one thing. Parking was perfect. Our proximity to what we were doing in town was awesome. Only about an 8 minute drive.

bigdave1331: My wife and I stayed at this Holiday Inn for a weekend getaway. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Edith, the receptionist at the front desk is absolutely amazing! If I were her boss, I would certainly be giving her a raise. The beds are comfortable. The hotel and rooms are very clean and appealing. The hotel is located in a safe location that is only a couple minutes walk to the Boston subway system. There is a grocery store right around the corner from the hotel that is within walking distance.

Zhe Li: Charges fees without any warning, bad location, bad elevator1. I booked the room with my free night provided by my credit card, and throughout the booking process there is no mention of "fees" with specific numbers anywhere. In the confirmation email it also says "Total estimated price: Free". At check-in I was also NOT notified of any fees. Guess what? The day after my stay I got a $55.5 charge. I checked again and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that is mentioned anywhere. They could have charged me $10,000 and say it's "fees". I talked to IHG and they told me about $47 is for fees -- no explanation of what they are for -- and cannot explain where the rest $8 comes from.2. The hotel is located next to a highway in an area that is under development, and the surrouding does not make me feel comfortable walking at night.3. One elevator was out of service, while the other was slow, small and had sudden starts/stops. I was on the 8th floor and once it took me several minutes to go to the lobby because of the stops.I am going to ask my credit card company to give my money back, and I will NOT renew my IHG card next year.

melissa Alves: This is the worst hotel I've ever booked. First when booking we asked for adjoining rooms we get there no adjoining rooms. We were booked months in advance so they should of been no issue accommodating us . They want us to pay 35$ for parking which I did but was not told that I might have to park 4 blocks down the road behind a Dunkin with no lights or cameras. I felt so unsafe tht I had to drive home and check out at 12. I didn't even spend the night. The women at the front desk could careless about what I was saying to her at one point told us that this conversation was over and turned around. If I was told that I would have to park down the road, I would've took an Uber to the show I was going to. I think when a guest checking in you should make them aware that they might have to park four blocks on the road after paying $35. When calling for at least a partial refund they lady told me this is a business basically screw me. I guess customers don't matter just their money. I would never book here again.

Jay S: This hotel is unbelievable… they charge for parking even if there is no parking available because the parking lot is so small in comparison to the hotel rooms they have. So their suggestion is parking in some dark alleyway down the road knowing that people are visiting from out of town… so what are you charging us for parking for?

Rafa O: Muy buena experiencia. Muy buen trato, limpieza, las camas muy cómodas.

Joey: Reconsider staying here if you plan to work, study, or sleep. The Wi-Fi was spotty at best, and there was an incessant tapping that turned into an aggressive knocking between 3 and 4 am. The location is literally the only good thing I experienced at this place.Rooms: 2/5|Service: 1/5|Location: 4/5 …More

John Smith: I was disappointed by the lack of empathy demonstrated by the staff at this hotel.When I suffered property damage during my stay, I noted it with the hotel owner, and instead of any empathy or help in the trying time, I was instead told that I was trying to make a fraudulent claim and that they wouldn't do anything to help. And instead of prioritizing customer experience for other guests, they invited me that if I cared so much, I should go annoy all the other guests by telling them about my problem one by one by knocking on their door rather than sending an e-mail or something else that isn't going to annoy everyone.I had already expressed empathy to them previously when, due to weather circumstances, I had to shorten my stay, and they had claimed it was not possible for them to refund me for the days I was unable to make it to the hotel. I understood that it was not their fault, and did not try to make their life difficult. I wish that they would have afforded me this same courtesy.

Ryan Johanson: Very clean and cozy BnB. Davis Square and the Davis red line station are just 5 mins walking from the hotel. Lots of fun shops and restaurants in both Porter and Davis. Great value as well. Visited Cambridge a few months prior to this stay, made the mistake of getting an overpriced AirBnb, never ever again. A Cambridge House is now my go to place to stay when visiting Boston, 100%.

Oliver Janssen: I forgot my key at the office one night. When returning to the hotel I called the service number on the door, but no one answered. Somehow their system wasn’t accepting calls from my international number. I kept trying to reach someone for an hour but ended up having to look for another hotel to spend the night. In the end they refunded me half the price of 1 night. The whole thing cost me $100. I’m never coming here again and strongly recommend you to consider another option as well.

M L: Shame on the proprietors. Avoid this place!... unless you like running the risk of reserving a room as pictured on the website, then being led to a filthy, broken-down flophouse of a space in another building down the street. Absolutely disgraceful. And if that happens, don't be surprised if they charge you -- even if you walk out because of their bad faith business practices. They didn't even consider making it up to us, much less attempting to do so! I wouldn't know how nice a stay would be if they give you a proper room. Tragically bad way to do business.

Simona Renna: Le camere sono molto sporche e fatiscenti. La struttura non è curata e non è mantenuta. Se consideriamo anche il prezzo molto elevato, lo sconsiglio caldamente. The rooms are very dirty and run down. The structure is not cared for and is not maintained. If we also consider the very high price, I strongly advise against it.

Miro Gavin: Not for germaphobes. The covid precautions seem okay, but disinfected and sterile dirt on the sheets is still dirt on the sheets.Also, they had MOLD GROWING on the air conditioner. It's cold so it accumulates water, grows mold, and then because it grows on the air conditioner, the conditioner blows the mold spores everywhere. So disgusting, but I haven't gotten sick yet.

Clarisse Bln: Nous avons séjourné 3 jours dans cet hôtel et nous avons été un peu déçu car la chambre ne correspondait pas du tout aux photos.On nous a logé dans une maison avoisinante avec beaucoup moins de charme que la maison victorienne affichée sur leur site.La chambre : elle était très spacieuse et globalement propre. Nous regrettons toutefois les quelques taches (sur les draps et sur le tapis de bain). Cela fait très mauvaise impression. Le souci du détail est une chose importante.L’emplacement : très bien, proche des transports en commun à pied pour rejoindre le centre de Boston (10 min environ de la station Porter).Le service : plutôt sympa, ils mettent du café et de l’eau à disposition pour les clients et on peut profiter du jardin devant la maison (ils ont installés des tables).L’hôtel est quand même sympa pour le prix et l’emplacement parfait.A améliorer : la déco de l’annexe un peu vétuste et veiller à ce que la literie soit impeccable.

Peter: OMG what a nightmare! We booked the room 6 months in advance based on the nice Victorian room pics on website. Then when we checked in, he put us in the house next door with super small rooms, used garage sale furniture, old 20” tv (non smart tv) and nothing like the photos advertised! I went back to hallway and caught him walking in and told him this is unacceptable because we booked the Victorian rooms. He said others paid more for rooms so they got the Victorian rooms. I told him this is a bait and switch and he stormed off while I was still talking to him. Then we pulled covers back to check the sheets and there was a black hair on pillow case and a stain on sheet. My wife called on phone and asked if they could change the sheets? He yelled at her “you don’t like, you can leave right now!”… I started looking around for hidden cameras thinking surely we must be getting punked for a new reality show on Air BnB’s! It was like the soup guy in the Seinfeld TV series! This all happened in first 10 minutes of arriving. We checked hotels in area and all were booked so had stay here. But wait it gets better, upon leaving room to check out, the lock broke on door and we were literally locked inside our room and had to wait until someone could open door with key from outside! I won’t even mention the towels from Dollar store or the dirty trash cans never emptied outside on porches etc.. Also they advertise as Bed & Breakfast but they Do Not serve breakfast. They don’t even have fruit or water or anything like that. You’ve been warned!!!

Saeid Aman: What a beautiful place and people, I felt like home in my first visit of Cambridge/Boston. Close to everything. It’s an old building so definitely there are gonna be some sounds from walking and clothing doors but I felt everyone was trying to keep the atmosphere calm with less noises like a family. Even shared bathrooms were so clean, breakfast fresh and nice. Last but not least is their fair price for nights in compare to others.Thank you Irving House for your hospitality.

Local Resident: Look past all the negative reviews here who expect a brand new Marriott. This is a charming and (very) old B&B that has served the Harvard community for 100+ years. The place is close to everything on campus, a few mins to a T stop, very friendly and professional people, clean rooms, parking and a great breakfast. We have been regulars here for many years and strongly recommend.

Deep Chatterjee: I stayed at Irving house 5 years back when visiting MIT, and I really liked it, so I came back when I was visiting MIT again. I took a single room with shared bath. The room is perfect for a single person. It's compact yet efficient. The bed was also very comfortable. It's perfect for a short stay, if you are out for work on campus mostly. I always found the bathrooms available. It's a little bit of a walk to MIT campus, but I enjoyed it. I remembered the breakfast being great, and it still is. Overall, great value for price for a short working stay.Another update: stayed third time here and still as good as before. The breakfast I felt is better.

The rooms are a little warm, but staff accommodated me by not only turning the thermostat slightly cooler, but also by providing me with a small fan, making it the perfect temp in the room. We didn't use the laundry facilities, but they are available and coin operated. There is an ice machine and a water filter in the basement, as well as multiple shared refrigerators. It would have been great to have a fridge in the room, but we weren't too inconvenienced by having to share. Coffee available even in the afternoon, and it's decent coffee!Thanks for the stay. We'll come again.

Praveen Vavilala: Loved the experience. Comfortable rooms and a nice breakfast. The only thing I would improve on is the wifi connectivity, it was spotty on the fourth floor

Sara Foley: The Charles Hotel was the perfect home for our wedding weekend on December 31, 2022. No one could've taken care of us, our family, and our friends better.From the months prior of expert planning with Jennifer Halpin, to the day of execution, on a holiday no less, with the most pleasant staff... we were blown away. The reservations team, including Ariana Ricci, was responsive and kind while handling our large, ever-changing, room block. The driveway team, including Zafar, Phil, Fauod, German and Dan, were prompt and extremely helpful with our CARTS full of belongings. The front desk team, led by Sumit Tuladhar, was so attentive and efficient. And then the banquet team, led by Jim, ... is just the best of the BEST. Patti, Stephen, Tim, Wilson, Edin, Mostafa, Rob, Said. It took a village, and family, to pull this wedding off.And a shout out to one of the wedding banquet servers, Pam. She was there at the wedding Saturday night until 12:30am, and then we saw her at 10:00am when we went down the breakfast. And she was smiling and gushing about our wedding. First of all, what a champion, but to do it all with the biggest smile... it truly made our day the next day.We can't say enough.And we couldn't be more grateful.
