Top East Cambridge Hotel Reviews

citizenM Boston Back Bay

8/10 Good

"Location was ideal! Very clean, staff was helpful! Only complaint was the size of room, and bathroom was see through and can see into shower ect. Breakfast included at extra cost. The rooftop bar was a nice addition."

Omni Parker House

8/10 Good

"I’ve stayed at the Omni Parker multiple times over many years. The hotel is great, centrally located, short ride to the airport and in great shape. Unfortunately this time, the service fell short outside of John in the Last Hurrah who finished our trip with a well curated send off. There was an overwhelming sense of, ‘I don’t want to be here’ that was exuded from the check in staff, to the valet and even the hostesses at both restaurants."
