Hampton Inn Boston/Cambridge

Located across the street from Green Line Subway station (Lechmere) making it easy to get around Boston easy. Harvard is about a 20 minute drive. Even numbered rooms are next to train tracks while odd numbered rooms are street side. No real food options within walking distance of hotel. Free parking under hotel, there is limited space for parking and most of parking does require parallel parking.

The air conditioner was loud and rattling all night. The shower head was broken. The bathroom was not clean and the Digital Key didn’t work until I presented ID at the front desk, something I’ve never had to do as an Honors member for nearly two decades. I’m being generous with three stars. I will not stay here again, especially for $400/night.

From arrival until departure, we had a great stay at this Hampton Inn. The people at the front desk were very friendly, and took the time to give us a map of the T line and clearly mark what trains to take for the places we wanted to go. It helped us immensely. The T line is a 2-3 minute walk from the hotel. It was safe and well lit at night. The room we had was a king room on the street side. It was quiet, very clean and the design was well thought out. Ample drawer space, a closet and a lot of hooks in the bathroom and the room. There were plenty of outlets and charging ports. There are also blackout blinds so you weren't woken up by the sun. The breakfast had anything you could want to eat and lots of tables and spaces to eat. There's even nice seating next to it in the lobby if you're meeting with others or just want to relax. Make sure you check in before you try and park. You need a room key to enter the parking garage. We had no problem parking, left the car and took the train whenever we went out. It was a great stay.
