Top Harvard Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

8/10 Good

"The Paperback "café" on the lobby floor is far better than most hotels. Wine, beer, juice, water, etc. plus sandwiches and salads at reasonable prices. Very nice staff. However, the breakfast buffet is sub par. Slightly better than Hampton Inn but way below Hilton Garden Inn. Dry, fake scrambled eggs, Very little fruit and baked goods. Chaotic scene as you enter. Out of control. My room had a great view of the Charles River."
