Best Travel Lounge Cambridge Near Me

Patrick W. van Deursen: This AC hotel is one of the first hotels in this price range that as a European has a nice interior and is not dated. The rooms are nice and and new. The only issue I have is with the beds, which are EXTREMELY soft. If started in a king size, and had serieus issue with my back the next day. Staff was friendly enough to put me in rooms with a queen sized bed, which was a lot better.Traffic to and from the hotel to Boston can we a bit busy at times, so take that info account for your commute

Gabi Friedman: Stayed here for a weekend with a group of friends. A/C was out in the room both nights, despite two trips up by maintenance staff who claimed to fix it. Desk staff were perfectly nice, but in suggesting we switch rooms did not offer to have our stuff moved for us or the pull-out made up. Pretty overpriced for the experience. Parking and breakfast are exorbitant and the T stop is not nearly as close as the website makes it seem and involves walking alongside a highway for 0.5 a mile.

Janie G: Charged me for parking when I never used the parking garage. Put me on hold 3 times before answering. When they finally answered, the representative and GM never called me back to resolve the garage fee dispute. I had to take it up Marriott to get the garage fee refunded. Very poor service especially given my titanium elite status.

Anton Krilloff: Night shift service can use some improvement. Trainee Kuazee is confused and needs better supervision. Trainees during the day shift need better training and supervision as well.

Victoria Kuhn: The difference between a good hotel and a great one are the amenities, including the staff. We went to the hotel bar last night for dinner, as we were tired from a strange and longer-than-usual-two-hour-drive-from-Portland. FOUR entrees on the menu. I ordered salmon, David the steak. Well, there was no salmon. So I ordered the the chix BLT sandwich as a Cesar salad (very nice bartender said they have a Cesar even though it wasn’t on the menu). Smallest of bowls crammed with the ingredients - dang the food kept falling off onto the table sigh and no tomatoes. Now my martini - hit the spot! David enjoyed his steak and the carrots were delish!The front desk gal with first name that began with S was very friendly. Room was clean though so modern, it was figuratively cold (not in temp). Wayfinding awful. Black room numbers on less black wall is not a good combo if you want guests to be able to read signs and mood lighting like an old bar throughout the hotel.I stay almost exclusively in Marriotts - and many of them a year. Good hotel but needs to work to be better, especially since my hotel room is supposedly a $1500 a night room, according to the inside of my door.

Melissa M: I stay here often. The staff have been awesome every time and I've yet to have any issues. This last round I was put in a room right next to the elevator (sharing a wall with the elevator lobby) and my room was still perfectly quiet. I could hear a bit if my upstairs neighbor was stomping around & the water was loud when they flushed their toilet, but nothing that impacted my ability to sleep, which is really all I care about in a hotel.Overall, the rooms are very clean and comfortable.The bar has a nice menu and laid back vibe. Parking is expensive, but easy & includes free EV charging.Rooms: Clean, well appointed.My room had a white noise machine.

Caroline Anastasi: Clean and spacious room! There’s a garage next door and you can get parking validated. The hotel is right next to alewife station to get into the city, about a 8 min walk.

Matthew Gillis: Nice clean rooms. How ever the front desk lady was completely useless after my key stopped working

Allison Wilcox: I've stayed at this hotel twice in the past - Nov 2019 and Oct 2018. It's a very stylish hotel, modern and sleek design touches throughout, which I found very appealing. I stayed in rooms with a king size bed both times - they were comfortable and spacious, the bed was great to sleep on. The breakfast buffet is really good, and some cooked-to-order items are also available. I found the staff very friendly and helpful. The AC Hotel Cambridge is definitely on the top of my list for places to stay on future trips to Boston.The hotel location is about 3/10 mile walk to the Alewife T-stop, with the path there going through the Alewife Brook Reservation, a very pretty natural area. It makes for a nice walk to the T-stop or a nice area to spend a little time outside.

Kevin Allen: A great place to stay near the red line. Great service. Comfortable room. Had Laundry on the same floor, which is super nice if staying for a longer tripRooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5 …More

Omar Yousef: So far so bad. The most disgusting room i have ever seen. Room floor and tables were dirty (food and drinks remains), and i saw a nail on one of the tables. And the more i look around the room the more I discover that the room is disgusting. I don't recommend anyone to come here.Rooms: So far so bad. The most disgusting room i have ever seen.

Blakesley: Hotel is nice but the bed in room 601 shakes when the bus or a truck goes by. At first I thought it was an earthquake. Avoid 601 if you like to sleep.

The Catt: Overall a nice hotel convenient to Cambridge and Harvard. The rooms are a bit dark and small, however. Additionally the Internet access is extremely slow.Updated:. Water temperature takes a long time to get hot water. Water pressure is also a bit low.Updated Dec 2022: The lounge is still closed, you will get food certificates for the onsite restaurant instead.Updated March 2023: Internet was recently upgraded and is a little bit faster.

Jason Robinson: Nice rooms and location, but service leaves a lot wanting. Wifi was poor and sporadic, and the restaurant staff refused to heat up our leftovers from dinner the day before without rationale. Additionally, as a safety concern, housekeeping entered our room unannounced before our scheduled checkout time.Rooms: 4/5|Service: 2/5|Location: 4/5Hotel highlights Quiet …More

Cesar Palma: Recently renovated and centrally located I enjoyed both my well appointed room and my stay. Friendly staff. Nice decor. The only drawback was a surprisingly tiny elevator (maximum capacity 2 people with luggage). Not sure what that space constraint is about especially after their recent remodeling.

Jennifer M.: Stayed here for my wedding earlier this month. The staff went above and beyond. Someone left flowers and a card in my room congratulating us, they even let me sneak into breakfast while they were closing up. But above everything, we accidentally left something valuable in our room and they called almost immediately to let us know we had left it. We couldn’t appreciate the hospitality enough!

Kim Fuller (she, her, elle): Easy access to downtown. Nice clean rooms.

Juliana Novaes Nogueira Da Silva: This property is great. These days, finding a nice place to sleep is easy, but finding great service is rare.

Heather Hoisington: I had a pleasant experience. My room was nice and it was clean. The staff was nice.The only things I would mention would be that all Suites face the railroad tracks (it didn't bother me) and that the parking fee per a night was $40... I think.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 4/5Hotel highlights Kid-friendly …More

nassim b: recently stayed at this hotel and had an amazing experience, thanks to the excellent service provided by Tommie, the general manager, and the welcoming staff at the front desk. From start to finish, my stay was enjoyable and stress-free.Firstly, the hotel's location was perfect for my needs. It was conveniently located near all the main attractions and restaurants in the area. The hotel itself was clean, modern, and stylishly decorated.However, what really made my stay stand out was the level of service provided by Tommie and his team. Tommie went out of his way to ensure that everything was perfect, from the moment I checked in to the moment I checked out. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had and made sure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable.The front desk staff were also exceptional. They were always welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home from the moment I walked through the door. They were knowledgeable about the area and provided me with great recommendations for things to see and do during my stay.Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in the area. The location is great, the hotel is clean and stylish, and the service provided by Tommie and his team is exceptional. I look forward to returning to this hotel in the future.

Shashwat P. Baxi: A nice hotel that is clean and well kept. Convenient for anyone looking to be in Cambridge or Charlestown. Compared to the other Marriott properties in the area, this was the most affordable. The only issue that someone may have is that the rooms on the backside of the hotel are right along the T-line and the train noise travels into the rooms at early hours in the morning. Still, overall a good hotel and affordable.

Vivek Babbar: FIRST IMPRESSIONS WAS NOT PLEASANT.I am surprised with what has happend to hospitality business. They are no longer pleasant to welcome guests in their property. I started staying in Marriott hotels starting 2023 and its my 3rd stay in Marriott property and i am not experiencing a welcoming experience.In this location i was checking in at 12am and the lady at the front reception didn't even greet with a smile. Just with a blank face, she asked me "How can i help you?" i said checking in and her face was like as if i asked her $50,000.I am not gonna get into that she was not able to find me with my last name and everything. but she gave me the keys, didn't tell me which way the evelavtors are. Not welcomed as a Gold elite member. I had to ask her where are the elevators.Next morning, when i got into the breakfast room and i was at 8.59 am and breakfast closes at 9 and this lady who was in the kitchen was laughing loudly and moment she saw me, her face was like that she was totally unhappy that someone is here is get breakfast. I plated my breakfast in 1 mins just went out. BTW, there were 2 other guests after me that came to get breakfast.When i was about to leave for my work it was the lady at the front said me "good Morning and have a good day and my immediate reaction was " wow, you are the first person in this property who had a smiling face ever since i checked in to the hotel"The rooms are super super small. I am definetely not coming back to this property.

Marc Doughty: Stayed here recently because I'm racking-up membership points. This place is clean, fresh, and the staff was on-point. Would stay again.It's not quite in the middle of stuff, but the small parking lot is right on the street, and you can come and go as you please, or just walk.

Maria Tomlinson Waltersdorf: Very clean, great breakfast, and friendly staff. The location was a 5 minute walk to the train station, and it was about a 20 minute ride to Boston Common. Highly recommend!Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5 …More

Rachel Holmes: this is a truly excellent marriott. they respond quickly to room service requests via app, the lobby is wonderfully decorated for Christmas and smells wonderful, free hot breakfast included and coffee always available, excellent convenient location for my brisk walking commute to MGH. highly recommend this hotel

Elvia Ojendis: Excelente experiencia de una noche de hospedaje. Muy buena ubicación para moverte en transporte por la ciudad. Llegué sin problemas a Harvard y después al centro de la Ciudad.

Jeremy Yowell: Good hotel with fair prices. It was easy to park, check in, and check out and the rooms were very quiet and clean. Definitely a no-frills experience, with fewer amenities than other Marriott properties I've stayed at recently but would stay again for sure.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Location: 4/5Hotel highlights Quiet, Great value …More

Diane Zagorski: Overall a nice and clean hotel. Breakfast was good. Parking was $40 a night, but was at their property which was very convenient. Keurig in the room was really nice but noticed there was what looked like dirt or mold inside the water compartment. 🤢 I didn’t see this until after I enjoyed my coffee so that was concerning. Our room was a odd number (backside of the hotel) - which meant we got a great view of the subway! It was loud and ran almost the whole night. We brought a fan with us that drowned out most of the sound. Without it not sure if decent sleep would be possible. We had a slight (and unexpected) change of plans and needed to leave a day early. I called the hotel to inquire if there was anyway we could cancel our second night. The person I spoke to (who later advised me he was the General Manager) said no immediately. I used to work for Marriott (as an AGM for 4 years at a franchise select service hotel) so I know these requests are far from ideal as it impacts housekeeping, occupancy, etc. The General Manager didn’t even pretend to look into the request, just flat out said no. I offered to pay for part of the night and he said no. Not very hospitable. I later found out they were at less than 50% occupancy. So that was very disappointing - seemed like getting 1 more room night and $160 was more important than working with a guest. Oh well, we adapted. This is a franchise so I don’t hold it against the brand, but won’t be back to this location again. Will stay closer to downtown since there isn’t much within walking distance

Tiffany R: First of all certain sections are pet friendly but I never hear any disruption.Secondly the front Staff and management are always professional and polite, quick to accommodate. Cleaning or "turn service" is emaculate.Last but certainly not least Millie is an incredible chef. She gets fresh meats from a local farm, compilations eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage or combinations of seveeal of these. The meals are always hot and fresh and a great start for wheverever your fueling your body up to do locally or on the road.For vegans ans vegetarians there is a plethora of items from veggie sausages, daily fresh waffles with tons of additives (grains, cinnamon brown sugar berries etc).Of course coffee, tea, apple and orange juice and basic cereals for the kiddies like front loops, cornflakes, muffins etc.I set my alarm early every stay so not to miss the complementary, delicious meals that vary throughout the week!
