The suites were great. Breakfast was complimentary and included nearly everything you could want. We only stayed two nights, but there is a full kitchen with pots, pans, oven, fridge and the staff will go grocery shopping for you at no cost except the food you put on the list! Overall, this was the best experience I've had at a hotel in quite some time.

Positives: Great location to the stop, very clean, great breakfast.

Negatives: Nothing!

This hotel was fantastic! The staff was friendly and helpful! The room was great (comfortable, nicely decorated, and full of amenities). The only drawback was $22 parking, but this is the norm in Boston. We checked out on Sunday, but planned to leave our car in the parking garage. The staff was kind enough to tell me to move my car to the on street parking which is free on Sunday. This saved us a few $$. The free breakfast was very nice and included hot foods and a chance to make your own Belgian waffles. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It is close to the Subway and bus lines. Kendall Station is about a block and a half away. This made getting to from Fen way and Downtown Boston a breeze. Great overnight accommodation. I wish we were staying longer, but we will return in the future.

Positives: Everything!

Negatives: $22 parking.

We were delighted with our stay at the Residence Inn in Cambridge. The staff was exceptionally helpful, there was free access to the internet in the lobby, it was a few short blocks to public transportation, and the room was spacious beyond belief. The breakfast had numerous options and was a great way to start the day. We contemplated moving in permanently!

Positives: The room was spacious. The staff was helpful, the location was convenient.

Negatives: Not enough staff for breakfast on a really busy day.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 08 Jul 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Really an ideal location on the red line of the Boston transit system. A nice area of town to be in, that will hopefully see a few more restaurants develop closer by.

Positives: The location was ideal to both Cambridge and Boston.

Negatives: The staff member didn't even offer the use of a hotel phone to make the toll free call.

This is a nice Residence Inn not far from the Longfellow Bridge There isn't much within walking distance, and you'd need a car to go anywhere. The rooms are quite new and clean. The breakfast included is reasonably good, but parking costs $22 a day.

Positives: New, clean, and reasonably good breakfast.

Negatives: Parking cost $22 per day.

Facilities were great, with well-appointed suites which included refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and toaster. When we were there I assume the hotel was being used as university graduate housing for MIT, which was either refreshing or a non-issue, depending on perspective.

Positives: Nice suites.

Negatives: Small, unapproachable lobby.
