Musty pillows, no vent in bathroom, bathroom faucet drip and slow drainage of water. Ordered a refrigerator for my husbands insulin, had to ask twice then was told to put the insulin in the honor fridge. Once we did, a fridge finally arrived, dirty...we refused it. We planned to have a celebratory graduation dinner in the hotel resturant. All six... More

This was one of the worst stays me and my friends had at any hotel in Cambridge, Union workers were demonstrating right outside the entrance with hour long noisy chants. Terrible! The location is very central and easy to reach from Boston, the rooms are a little too small.

Dear, Mididirect Thank you very much for the comments related to your recent stay. We are terribly sorry for the disturbance caused by the union organizers outside the hotel. At Le Méridien Cambridge we respect our employees' right to a fair and legal process that allows them to make a decision on whether they want to unionize. UNITE HERE, the... More

Everything is fancy, including the bed -- the best one I've ever seen in a hotel. It wasn't firm but my lower back wasn't painful when I woke up in the morning. The only disadvantage could be the location -- not particularly close to T station or MIT. The relief is that it is next to the Starmarket.

Love this hotel. The staff are amazing. The place is just so low key and relaxing. The soaps, shampoo etc are top notch and love the free wireless. Always a great choice. Only negative, more outlets are needed for charging phones etc. Thanks again for a great stay.

Great hotel, great location, friendly staff, quiet clean room, decent restaurant/bar, although it closes too early, Grocery Store attached to hotel, mini fridge in room to keep snacks and drinks, close to Boston city center - we walked to and from quite easily. We have stayed at this hotel several times and have had the same great experience every time.... More

Enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were modern and very clean. I have nothing negative to say. Everything was close to perfect. A nice touch was that it had a pretty good restaurant on the premises that offered a fantastic breakfast buffet for about twenty bucks.

We stayed at this hotel to visit Boston. There is a metro station within 5 minutes by walk and took us about 20 minutes to be in downtown Boston. Around the hotel, you have everything you need such as Starbucks, Wall-green, restaurants...etc. Then room was clean and the service was good. We booked through Hotwire and it was a cheaper... More

Have stayed at this hotel many times for work. It is very conveniently located for MIT and many biotech companies in the area. The red line is not very far and a huge selection of restaurants. Just across the road is Toscanini's ice cream and coffee joint. The ice creams are out of this world. Rangzen the tibetan restaurant and... More

The hotel is located in a great part of Cambridge, within walking distance of many good restaurants (try Moksa for pan-Asian tapas/sushi, Asgard for above-average Irish pub fare) and stores. Other reviewers have also noted that there is a supermarket (the Star Market) right next to the hotel, which makes it convenient to pick up drinks, snacks, supplies, etc. -... More

We stayed for 6 nights and the hotel was very nice. However, we had a very bad surprise at the end of our stay: our phone bill was almost the equivalent of a round trip from Boston to Paris! We did call our family in France several time, but we would never have imagined that the rate of these phone... More
