Le Meridien Boston Cambridge

Super location right near Central Square and a short walk to several key bus routes. Located at MIT, and a nice 20 min walk to Harvard. And Cambridge is so pretty. Hotel is updated and seemed to be managed well. Love the Keurig machine in the room and the water bottle filler near the ice machine.

Upon check-in they charged me for the entire stay up front plus over $200 extra with no explanation, and then the morning of our last day they charged me $260 more. When I asked they said it was a hold on my card for extras and it would be refunded. Wish they said that up front. Breakfast buffet was priced so high it didn't seem worth trying it--go to Brookline Lunch for breakfast instead. Toilet kept running, had to jiggle the handle. No fan in the bathroom to get rid of the steam. Ice machine was broken.

The overall hotel and room were clean and open. Nice size sitting area, coffee and teas to drink and a mini fridge in the room. The staff when we checked in and when we checked out were all really nice. I also liked the suggestion made by the person when we checked in regarding parking.

In the washroom, the sink and the tub were not raining fast enough. The Iron seemed like someone had used it on plastic or something and was covered with some white plastic substance. The closet to hang your cloths on seemed a bit small as well.

Location was excellent for visiting our son at MIT. Parking in the garage next to the hotel was convenient but pricey (about $48/day for in-and-out option). Room was quite comfortable and spacious for 2 adults plus 1 teenager. The pullout sofa/nook was a nice design element. The restaurant/bar on site was excellent. Overall the staff was very courteous and friendly.

The ice machine on our floor was broken, and the room's refrigerator never really got that cold.

Spacious and comfortable rooms, adjoining to adjacent room with children (teenagers). Location was great and felt like a good, safe neighbourhood.

Would have preferred three singles in the second room for children. Two of them had to share a double bed. More versatility in bed configuration would be good for families with three or more children.

Beds were comfortable and the room was a decent size. Location was walking distance to the MIT campus. The breakfast was really good but a bit pricey unless you are a Marriott member.

The internet was about average for a hotel. Not fast but not terribly slow. Ok for a zoom call with a couple people, but not a big zoom call.

Location, location, location - this hotel was ideal for a weekend spent wandering Boston/Cambridge. The rooms were comfortable, and staff worked with me to ensure there was no febreze used in cleaning prior to check-in.

Spending $48 nightly to park a car is ridiculous!!!! When I booked the room, I believed, based on what I read, parking was included in the price.

Lovely room - great size, adored the decor, everything new and in great condition Bar - good prices, food quality was superb. Location - 5 min walk to MBTA / T stop, plenty of bars and restaurants in 5 minute walk, 25 min walk to busy Harvard Square

Room wifi failed for a few hours - but we were able to use Lobby connection Nothing else to complain about at all

Great location, super convenient walking to MIT, busses, subway, just 15 minutes to Harvard. Room was well furnished and clean. Quality amenities, linens. Cold water and coffee in lobby. Staff professional and welcoming.

Nothing really. Would have been great if cheaper, but it was commencement week and everything everywhere was super expensive. Nearby Central Sq looks a little worse with vagrants. Is that a result of pandemic?

I enjoyed the general modern decor and very accommodating on early arrival which was great. Well laid out, clean, and functional. Decent gym but no pool or spa would be nice.

Parking fees are high at $48 /night and be nice to have breakfast included but Cafe Luna is a wonderful breakfast and brunch. A must go to.

bar and restaurant location easy to work in / lighting good to do a zoom meeting

pillows are too soft QR code to use chrome cast my device did not work toilet paper holders are behind the toilet and super tough to reach while seated for $500 a night you HAVE to have room service!
