  • Well appointed room.
  • Understaffed and absurd mini-bar.

“1 person only at check-in with line of 8 people. Ridiculous placement of mini-bar food items taking up almost entire desk and electronically set-up to record movement. Asked 2 times to have it removed before food was removed. Then it was put back next day. Next day I asked 3 times and it took 3 hours. Then they charged me 100 dollars for items taken reversed of course. Really weird for otherwise well-appointed room with great bed, lamps, internet, etc.”

  • Exceptionally comfortable bed and pillows!
  • Sketchy neighborhood.

“The hotel was nice from inside, I liked the retro glamor decor. Staff was friendly and courteous and the beds were very comfortable and clean. I had the fried artichoke heart appetizer and a cup of their made fresh daily clam chowder at the hotel restaurant, Sidney's Cafe, both were very good.”

  • Comfy bed.
  • Put shower caps in the bathroom. Also , the Grey paint in the bathroom made putting on makeup difficult.

“Contemporary hotel.”

  • The room was very modern and the bed was very comfortable.
  • The area of the hotel was not so good but walking in daylight is OK.

  • Room design is
    very good, the air control too.
  • Cheap bathroom products, the way they honor bar displayed candy was cheap and offensive.

“Design was great and location was good, staff was very helpful. honor bar was not inspected properly and i was charged for it, but they removed charge. they cut corners in bath products and towels, fell short of 4 stars.”

  • Most comfortable hotel I've stayed in for some time. Great bed.
  • Not the best sound proofing.

“Hard to say what it is, but I found this hotel to be extraordinarily comfortable. Will definitely plan to stay there when I return.”

  • Comfortable, clean, and very helpful staff.

“It was comfortable with a very convenient location. Close to the Red Line T station. There are a lot of great place to walk. You can easily walk over the bridge and get to Newbury Street, a nice walk up to Harvard Square and great walking along the river.”

  • It was close to downtown Boston.
  • Water pressure in the shower was non-existent.

“Close to downtown Boston. Great rate. I was expecting something a little nicer for 4 stars though. The water pressure of the shower was pitiful.”

  • Very nice hotel, with modern accommodations and a very good location.
  • The hotel was very modern and well kept, except its time to replace the TV's with flat-screen models.

“Le Meridien is a lovely and modern hotel, outfitted to reflect its proximity to MIT. The rooms are well-appointed and everything seems very new (except for less than cutting edge televisions). A 10-12 minute walk from the Central Square T Station, and attached to a supermarket, car rental facility, and parking garage, the hotel has an excellent and convenient location. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be close to the mix in Cambridge and Boston.”

  • Clean safe neighborhood.
  • Loud people in hall in middle of night easy to hear and the parking charge.

“I thought the place was nice easy access to the T. I am not a big fan of paying to park on top of the rising cost of rooms. Parking so tight I had to get out the passenger door.”

“Excellent hotel for the business or leisure traveler in a great location in Cambridge. Within walking distance of MIT, Harvard and many shops and restaurants. You will not be disappointed. The bathrooms will inspire you to upgrade your own!”

  • Free WiFi in the library and lobby.
  • Loud clunky AC & pipes keep you awake at night.

“This is not a luxury hotel by any means. The mattresses are no better than motel 6. Bathroom is small. Our biggest complaint was the clunky AC and pipes. The AC sounded like someone was banging on the door every time it shut off. The pipes thud anytime your neighbor turns on their water. The entire hotel is basically a pig with some lipstick slapped on to make it look pretty. Would have liked a mini fridge in the cabinet that was obviously built for one. Location is ok if you do not mind the 3 block walk to the T. At night the area turns pretty shady.”

  • Friendly staff.
  • No vegetarian meals at the restaurant.

“The room was fair. Older TV set that buzzed during viewing. Incredibly annoying given the Olympics are on. The AC/furnace was noisy and kept me up during the night. Every time it switched on and off it would make loud cooling noise. The hotel had a small cramped gym and lacked conveniences found at other hotels of its caliber.”
