Excellent

We stayed for one night in one of their deluxe rooms. Excellent service at the front desk, even upgraded us without any additional charge. Room was clean and bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was in superb condition too. I will return on my next visit to Boston. Highly recommended!

Great hotel, awesome staff

This is a great hotel. Let's start with the basics - rooms, bar & restaurant all great. It's the added extras which made the difference for us. Staff were great - always friendly, always welcoming, always willing to help. Extras actually added value! You can get a bike & kayak for your own use for free. The hotel just lends you them. It's awesome. You also get free coffee in the morning and a wine reception at night. All the people we met at this hotel were also great and really friendly. The dog friendly nature of the hotel was also cool. No noise at all was caused by the dogs - I guess they are kept in a separate part of the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel.

The coolest decor ever

This hotel was so cute! The rooms are decorated better than any other hotel I ever stayed in. They had leopard carpet! And they had these zebra and cheetah robes that you could wear. The service was impeccable. The only problem was the location because it was a bit of a walk to the T (around 7 minutes). It's perfect for young couples, though. Oh, and it was pretty convenient that the mall was right next door. I forgot to bring a party dress and was able to get one in 10 minutes at the Macy's next door.

very satisfying experience

We would certainly stay at this hotel again - We would make this our hotel of choice as a matter of fact. Access to Green LIne was very convenient; access to the Red Line also good. Relationship with Galleria Mall made parking reasonable. Knowing a little about Boston helped to make this Cambridge location a good choice. Staff was helpful. Met the chief engineer on the elevator. He took it upon himself to introduce himself and ask about our stay and our level of satisfaction. I thought that this showed something about the "corporate culture" at his hotel.

Great Hotel

We found a special on this hotel and so grabbed it up for our one night stay in Boston. It's an easy 15-20 minute walk from North Station and close to the Museum of Science, The Cambridgeside Galleria and North End where all the good restaurants are. The wine reception was excellent with full glasses of Fetzer wine and spring rolls served on the side. The room was on the small side, but we had enough room. The bathrobes were cozy. The only odd experience we had was housekeeping walking in on us about ten minutes after our arrival to inventory the minibar. She came in despite our desperate shouting to wait a minute as we were changing our clothes. So putting the do not disturb sign on the door is a must at this hotel. There are no chain locks either. Overall, I would certainly recommend this hotel and plan on staying here again.

Wonderful staff, very pricey

Everyone from the door persons to the desk and restaurant staff to the cleaning people made a big fuss over us and especially over our dog (a very human-friendly pit bull). Their enthusiasm for our dog alone was almost worth the price, and the water and treat dishes at the front door and front desk certainly won him over! One of us had a severe allergic reaction to our room - cat dander? Feather pillows (only one was not)? The price was perhaps normal for the location and quality of the hotel but 50% higher than a nearby hotel with suites where I stayed two weeks earlier. With regrets I am unlikely to return for that reason. I'm from DC, which for some reason is not on the list of states to choose from on this form.

Fantastic hotel at great location!

My wife and I booked this last minute hotel for our anniversary. Upon arriving, the front desk asked our reason for staying at the hotel. When we informed them of our anniversary,we received a free upgrade to the top floor and later that night a free bottle of wine and truffles.The location was amazing and views were excellent! The complimentary bike rental and kayak were a big plus. The staff was very,very friendly and always greeted us by our names. And they even got us to the front of the line at the neighboring Cheesecake Factory on a Sat. night by giving us a hotel business card. The room was thoroughly clean and the environment was awesome. They also have a complimentary wine reception in the lobby and you can choose from Sangria,white wine or red wine. And you can also play Nintendo Wii free of charge. It was a great stay and we will definitely stay there again for special occasions. If you choose to use the bike rental, its only a 10-15 minute bike ride to the harbor or new Greenway. Its amazing in the summer!

Great room-lovely hotel

The room as well as the lobby was very stylish and colorful. Lots of art on the wall, animal prints on the rug and other furnishings made for a wonderful surround. I wouldn't pay extra for the river view-most of the 'river' in an annex off the Charles and is barely visible. The setting was very quiet. We loved the bar/restaurant and had some great breakfasts and snacks there. Highly recommend this hotel!

Awesome hotel! Fabulous service and incredible staff!

This is my second stay at a Kimpton in the past two months and they are a classy hotel. I highly recommend a stay here as the staff was both incredibly profession and kind. I would stay again anytime I was in Cambridge.
