Top East Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Arcadian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was quick and easy. The room was on the small size but good enough for one night before a cruise. The shower had lots of water pressure and a hand held wand. Lots of mirrors and good lighting for the wife. Big fluffy white towels. There are water filling stations on each floor. An English pub is next door with pretty good food. We were walking distance from Quincy Market with lots of food and shops. Would stay there again."
