Hampton Inn Boston Cambridge

Outstanding Hotel

The staff at the Hampton Inn Boston provided exceptional customer service. We arrived early from the airport and were tired because we had to get up at 4 a.m. to catch our flight. They had a room available and checked us in immediately. They invited us to have breakfast that morning. Any request we made, i.e., restaurants, transportation, etc. they were exeedingly helpful.

Great service

The staff in the hotel were great. They helped with directions and advice about the local area. I had planned to take the train downtown, and the front desk staff suggested a bus that got me to the same place much more quickly. I had a problem with the safe in my room, and they promptly sent someone to fix it.

Nice place, location so-so

Hotel was nice. Staff was great. Room was fairly clean. Room was right across from the ice machine so that kept me up when someone would go to get ice. Other than that it was quiet. Bed was way too soft for me.. no back support. Had it's own garage which was nice, but don't drive past the hotel. I did that and what a headache!! Main Rd, one ways, and no U turns.. had to go miles out of my way to get back. Location is close to museum of science which is good. Breakfast was more than I hoped for. Overall, nice place to stay although not quite worth the $ of a Boston hotel I don't think.

Met my needs

This hotel is at the north end of the Green Line on Boston's T (subway system) just a block from the Lechmere station. I picked it because it provided access to Boston without the downtown prices. It worked OK for me, but not all trains run to the end of the line. Along with other hotel guests, I rode the T to Fenway for a Red Sox game. I also rode a local bus to visit Harvard. When I picked up my rental car to leave Boston, I was glad that the hotel provides free parking and isn't far from the freeways. The hotel itself was OK with an adequate breakfast. I liked the assortment of bed pillows so you can choose the firmness that you like. The website said that a renovation was underway but I didn't see or hear anything along these lines. I was gone during the day and it didn't bother me. The neighborhood is on the "gritty" side but isn't bad. I didn't see any restaurants in the immediate area so plan accordingly. Don't expect much of a view, but you'll probably sleep well here.

Needs work

The rooms were dated and worn, but comfortable. the convenience to Boston is good. You need a car or must be prepared to walk a bit to get to anything (public transportation, food, etc.).

Good find in Boston area

Great room for the money. Good location - just a block from the T. FREE PARKING!

Needs Improvement

The room assigned upon entering was not cleaned, and another room was assigned. The next morning the ceiling was leaking from the upper level bath. The attendant stated it was not the first time for this room. My previous stays met my expectations, however, I may look elsewhere for my fall visit.

Expensive but nice!

The hotel is located in waling distance from the city center and MIT/Harvard. This was perfect when you want to explore as much as possible in short amount of time. The price was however a bit expensive.

Bit of a walk

Decent room, good breakfast. Near a T stop, but a bit of a walk to find any restaurants and not one on site. Neighborhood was somewhat industrial.
