This hotel is currently going through some renovations but was still very enjoyable to stay in. We were lucky enough to stay in one of their newly renovated rooms overlooking many of the colonial style buildings nearby. Our room had new beds, wallpaper, furniture, carpet, tile, bath fixtures etc. AND they were keeping the hotel incredibly clean, even with the... More

Here is a classic situation where management of a tired hotel is spending a fortune renovating the building. I stayed in a freshly renovated room. It was beautiful. New beds, wallpaper, furniture, carpet, bath fixtures etc. So, any reviews prior to the renovation can really be discounted now. Now, I realize that does not excuse mold or dirt prior to... More

I booked this hotel through Hotwire so I was a little hesitant at first. Once I arrived, I found that it was no need to be. The hotel is undergoing renovations and I was fortunate to stay in one of the new rooms. It was very comfortable and clean. I was very pleased. There was free internet, parking and breakfast....

My family and I stayed here for 4 nights and we couldn't have been happier to leave. Cons: Our backs were hurting from the tiny, hard, uncomfortable beds and we were quite grossed out by the food stains/crumbs on the walls, chairs, and curtains. Then there was the heater that constantly blew hot dry air to the point none of... More

Just returned from a 4-night stay at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Cambridge and have nothing but positive praises for this property and the staff. We booked the hotel on a third-party website (Hotwire.com) and called to confirm we would be receiving a non-smoking room with two double beds to suit our needs. While our initial contact with...

Good - wireless interent, breakfast, free parking, reception, rooms restful (slept like logs after transatlantic flight) Good - apples in reception! Good - easy access to central Boston and airport (but see below) Average - though location pretty convenient the subway station currently out of action which means a VERY packed backup 'bus to the next station.

The location is not the most scenic on a busy highway, but being right next to a T stop means its convenient. For Boston its a good value, with free parking and breakfast. More

We go to Boston regularly for some medical appointments and booked this hotel this time because of the free parking, free internet and free breakfast. Internet and breakfast were great but parking is a HUGE issue. The lot is TINY and there were no spots when we arrived. We were told to park across the street ( a 4 lane... More

Thanks for providing such valuable feedback to us and many other potential Holiday Inn Express Cambridge guests.. We appreciate your positive comments about the friendly staff, accomodations, breakfast and internet. I'm sorry that we were not able to provide a positive parking experience. Next year at this time we will have a third lot available for our guests. More

I have stayed in many Holiday Inn Expresses and I would probably put this one on the lower end of those I have been too. I was told that we had a king bed and a pull out sofa. I figured this would be fine for me and my two young children, even if my older son decided to join... More

Thanks for your valuable feedback. We're glad that you enjoyed the breakfast and the complimentary refrigerator. I'm sorry that our main parking lot filled up requiring you to park in our lot across the street. The hot water issue that you experienced was actually a failure with our hot water boiler that we have since resolved with our professional contractor.... More

We stayed here for 2 nights over the Columbus Day weekend - October 2011, as I could not find anything in my price range in Boston proper. I had written to the hotel in advance, requesting a room with either 2 beds, or a king bed. Though I am a Priority Club member, I was told at check-in that the... More

Thanks for your valuable feedback. It is nice to hear a respondent go out of their way to describe our 'clean rooms' and that you enjoyed the complimentary full breakfast buffet. I'm sorry that we were not able to move you to another room because we were sold out. You were actually upgraded in advance at no additional cost to... More
