• The hotel's location is right in the MIT campus. Very convenient! very clean.
• There is no on pool, you have to pay to use the health club pool. Parking was expensive.

“The hotel was very clean. The bed was comfortable. Right on MIT's campus. We drove over to Boston University - it took only 5-10 minutes. The location is very convenient - especially for visiting the local colleges. I just wish there was a pool or hot tub in the hotel.”

• Windows opened, strong shower pressure, good sheets, Supermarket & parking next door.
• Coverlet unlikely to be freshly laundered for each new visitor, probably shared.

“Le Meridian is almost within MIT, a 25 minute walk from Harvard Square and 15 minutes to bridge over Charles River to Boston. It's the only hotel in mixed area which includes Salvation Army store. Next door is a Star supermarket and parking garage, $22 overnight, & Budget Car Rental. Attached restaurant is very pleasant, has sidewalk cafe. Breakfast buffet. We had Eggs Benedict, coffee & fresh orange juice, $18.85 each. Very clean, friendly, comfortable desk, easy chair & good reading lights in room, crisp cotton sheets. News papers at front desk. Paid extra for internet connection, $9.95. Would go back.”

• Clean, comfy and cute math theme for Mitt Campus.
• Expensive breakfast (I was charged 17.00 for eggs, toast and coffee).

“Luxurious, clean and comfortable on the Mitt Campus. Cute math, physics theme with atom design in the elevator, robots in the lobby and blankets with math formulas written on them! The staff was very friendly and helpful and helped us navigate the streets of Boston and Cambridge. The restaurant is to be avoided because it is too expensive for the very ordinary food that they serve and Boston is filled with wonderful, unique restaurants that are not so pricey!”

• Hotel was clean.
• Rooms were small with no extras i.e. refrigerator or microwave.

“Our room was across from the housekeeping supplies and very early we would wake up to the voices of the housekeeping staff. We had stayed at this hotel maybe 6 years ago and they have not made any improvements or renovations since then. Our clock was set wrong and when we could not adjust it we called the desk and they indicated it would take an engineer to correct it. So when our TV remote did not work we did not bother to call. It would help if they had microwaves and refrigerators in the rooms. Rooms are very small. The hotel staff made it difficult to even cash a check despite them having our credit card information. We often stay at the Marriot Cambridge, which is rated fewer stars but in our view is a more impressive hotel then this Le Meridian Hotel.”

• The rooms were nice and great pillows.
• I didn't really like the location.

“It was very nice. We didn't really like the location; there were a lot of drunks on the walk from the T to the hotel, which being from a small town made me uncomfortable. I was a little disappointed we didn't have a robe in our room as promised, but we survived. However, the hotel itself suited our needs just fine. The pillows were fantastic; I want to get some just like it for my home. The staff was also super friendly and nice.”

• The Location was right off the Mass Turnpike.
• The Valet service was shady and not very good, also, a separate entity from Le Meridian.

“I had a great time there, and would definitely go back. I wouldn't use the Valet though, because they seemed to be extremely disorganized and not friendly. They were also totally separate from the Hotel, which created more confusion when settling the bill.”

• The staff was very friendly.
• For our purposes the location was not ideal.

“The hotel has just recently been taken over by Le Meridian. I was expecting a higher caliber property based on the name. I assume over time they will be updating the property. It was a little tired.”

• I like the location near many restaurants and public transportation.
• I have stayed there many times and the rooms are beginning to look worn.

“The location and staff are great. After staying there several years I find the rooms to be a little tired and worn.”

• The hotel was close to MIT and had a neat techie feel to it. Lobster roll in the restaurant was so good we had it twice in 24 hours.
• Not as close to Harvard as I had hoped but right in the midst of MIT. Hotel staff not as well versed on restaurants in the area but tried to be helpful.

“Great hotel, great staff, very modern but comfortable hotel with a great hi-tech theme that ran throughout.”

• Affordable room service, extended check out time, and great location!
• No room service between 11 pm and 6 am.

“This is my new favorite Boston area hotel! It's in a great location for my needs, room service is tasty and not overpriced, and I loved the decor. The best part for me is that you can extend your check out time by the hour up until 4 pm!”

• The bed was so comfortable, and the staff was very helpful.
• The restaurant staff did not treat me very nicely, probably because I was a solo traveler.

“This hotel was very nice. I would recommend it to a friend. It is only a couple of blocks away from a T-stop, so it was very accessible from every part of Boston. The staff was very helpful. They gave me recommendations on restaurants and directions to places I needed to go.”

• Comfortable bed.
• Had to pay for internet service.

“This hotel is well located, close to restaurants and the T. I would not recommend eating at the restaurant but other than that the hotel is a comfortable place to rest after spending the day in Cambridge. As a side note to business travelers: you must pay extra for internet service.”

• Perfect location, on-street parking readily available.

“I get this hotel a lot for my Boston trips and it's a good pick. No problems.”

• Very clean with upscale linens and furniture.
• TV's in the room are outdated for this class of hotel.

“Convenient to the T station, MIT, and Harvard. Very clean with a European feeling. Excellent cab service. Concierge was very helpful. Walking distance many dining options. I will stay here again.”

• Very clean and modern/not at all run down/helpful staff/great library on 1st floor/easy to access via public transportation.
• Dining room not open in mid-afternoon/bar menu very limited.

“I would def. return to this hotel. I have lived in the Boston area and had never even heard of this hotel. What a hidden gem.”

• Friendly staff.
• Toner cartridge in the one working printer in the business center was almost empty; I complained about it, but it was not changed during my stay.

“Meridian took over management from Doubletree, but does not seem to have changed much except the rates (higher): even the televisions, the bedspreads, the pictures on the walls, the carpeting, and the furniture were all the same. I liked the Aveeno toiletries that Doubletree used, more than the new ones.”

• Great staff.
• The beds are not top notch but they are good.

“The hotel, the staff, the food and the rooms are fantastic! The rooms have mini fridges in them that are not stocked so you can put your own food in. It is attached to a Shaw's Grocery store so you can choose either the hotel or your own food. But their room service seemed much cheaper than a 3 star hotel and the food and Service was great! Will definitely stay here again.”

• Unique decor, modern, clean lines.
• Physics equations on linens a little nerdy.

“All the finishes were very nice, but it was impossible to escape the MIT feel of the whole place. I am not particularly mathematically inclined so being swathed in quantum physic equation was a little creepy. The waiter attempted to pocket a $29 tip on a $50 bill, but not even my math skills are bad enough to think that is appropriate. Oh, and there is no pool onsite.”

“The Le Meridian Hotel is a very clean, modern hotel within minutes of most major Universities in the Boston Area.”
