The hotel was nice. The elevators were nice to look at but slow waiting for. The rooms were clean. We started out with a suit which was very spacious but change to a balcony room to have the outside access from our room. We ordered room service for breakfast. I ordered two eggs over easy, well done home fries without onions, toast and bacon. My wife ordered the same but with poached eggs. What we got was 4 eggs that were all cold and cooked solid with zero runny yolk. The potatoes were baked potatoes that were pressed flat onto the plate. Bacon was fine but cold and 1 slice of cold toast. I called up and said I didn't want it and come take it back. The woman said that's the way they do breakfast potatoes there and I said know way was I excepting that. She asked what she could do to make it right and I said how about a breakfast sandwich instead. They made us breakfast sandwich but they were still bad. The bread was soaked in butter, a small amount of cheddar cheese. It just fell apart while trying to eat it because of the amount of butter and I was still charged $40.00 for the breakfast. The next day we tried the buffet which wasn't much better and $50.00 dollars later we decided this was not a place to eat. I mean for that kind of money shouldn't they be at least as good as McDonald's? LOL. I don't think it was a case of a poor meal, I think it is a very poor restaurant. For the prices they charge they should have some type of quality standard.
Excellent service and great location. The room was big, clean and the hotel is very conveniently located. Everything was quiet and comfortable.
Front desk upon check in extremely rude and not helpful at all,I will take my business somewhere else,never again !
The hotel is clean and staff were friendly but be sure to speak with them about parking costs. Despite the low price on Orbitz, parking was $40.00 a day and I was not aware of this until check-out. L
Stayed there on Thanksgiving holiday. Liked the hotel shuttle, which took us to Havard Square. The shuttle also goes to MIT and other two places. The hotel is cozy and warm. It would be even better if the food at the hotel restaurant could be improved.
The handicapped parking spaces in the parking garage were roped off. I walk with a cane. Also our bedside lamp was out beside our bed, maintenance came & looked at it, said it was housekeeping's job, said they'd send them up, but no one came near our room all evening.
We reserved two adjoining rooms overlooking the Charles River for our daughter's 16th birthday slumber party. The evening went very well, starting with surprising our daughter at the Bisuteki Japanese Steak House down the street, where several of closest friends were waiting to giving her and her friends the keys to rooms at the pyramid-shaped hotel she often pointed out when driving on Storrow or Memorial drive. The girls had a blast exploring this luxury hotel, admiring the wedding party that were also staying there, chatting on the sundeck overlooking the Boston skyline, relaxing in the glass-enclosed, heated saline pool, savoring all the special treats we set up in the room, enjoying all the special games and activities that her friends planned for her and just having fun with her friends.
The floor carpet had a large damp spot and the room smelled musty.
Low this hotel. Convenient and close to all-points of Boston. Located in Cambridge near MIT Overlooking the Charles river. You feel very safe, would highly recommend this hotel
Wonderful view overlooking the river and Boston skyline. The staff is friendly and very helpful. An easy walk to Fenway park, so you don't have to deal with post-show (or game) traffic. The bed was comfortable. Will definitely stay here again when in Boston.
I book and paid in advance for a room with river view and was looking forward to the experience of overlooking Boston over Charles River. However, when I arrive the hotel, I was told no room with river view was available anymore and I was offered a room with a balcony instead. When I was asking for the refund of the difference for a room without a river view versus a non-river view, I was offered in hotel credit of $30/night. The reason I booked Hyatt Regency Cambridge at the time was for the river view. How could the hotel bump a guest who has already paid from the room with a river view. Isn't this breach of contract? If I knew I might not have got a room with river view after having paid for it, I would have considered another hotel that can guarantee the room with a river view. I felt being tricked by Hyatt Regency and do not know if they are trustworthy.
Sticky carpet, middle of nowhere, flooded bathroom with leaking shower and sink, dust everywhere! Only saving grace are the nice concierge and shuttle operators.
Good value except the $40 parking. Health club good- though have to go the parking lot area for it- and room, staff, restaurant and environment all good. Only issue is room temperature control. Generally too hot and couldn't cool enough. But room was good. East of access to highways a real plus.
We were comfortable and rooms are nice. Uber has good access for pick up and drop off.
Very Nice. Hotel staff was very helpful. Liked the shuttle, used it several times. Did not like a security deposit of $50 a day taken out. We have excellent credit and are not used to this charge.
it was great to sleep with my family. it was great to sleep with my family. it was great to sleep with my family.
I did not have an experience I stayed in a Hotel!
The staff was very friendly and our room was very confortable and clean. The breakfast buffet was excellent but the dinner meals weren't so good for the price.
The room was lovely. Clean, organized and bright. No heavy bedding -- a big plus.
Great location to watch the Head of the Charles. Not the most convenient in terms of being able to get food.
