Top Kendall Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Commonwealth

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was wonderful - friendly and helpful. Always available to answer questions about resources. Water pressure was fantastic. Even the artwork throughout in the hotel and room was lovely to look at. (I know, weird thing to include in a review.) Coffee and tea offered was nice but would have been even better if it had been available past 10AM. Bed was comfortable, easy to adjust room temp too. I'd definitely stay here again."

Copley Square Hotel, a FOUND Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very clean! Comfortable bed, quiet room. Room felt a little sparse, although what was in the room was attractive. We did have to ask to have a hairdryer brought up because our room was missing one, and there wasn’t a telephone in the room so we had to call the hotel with our own phones. They said some rooms don’t have phones because of some complication with wiring. That there was no hairdryer was an oversight - all rooms are supposed to have one. Also, the bathroom was TINY! Nice and clean, but petite! If you stood in front of the sink, and turned 90 degrees, you were standing directly in front of the toilet; and then turn another 90 degrees and you were standing in front of the access to the tub. The staff was super friendly, and the overall atmosphere of the public spaces was charming. If you don’t mind possibly having a tiny bathroom, it’s a good value in the heart of the city."

Hilton Boston Park Plaza

8/10 Good

"This hotel is an older hotel, and some of the reviews I saw before staying there gave me pause, saying that other than the lobby area it was frowsy and dated. I thought the hotel was very nice. It clearly wasn’t renovated yesterday but our room, although VERY small, was quite nice. The location was outstanding (given what we were doing in the area) and the price was reasonable. I would certainly stay there again. We didn’t use any of the amenities so I can’t speak to those. We self parked in a nearby garage by reserving ahead of time and got a good price for that. We didn’t eat in the restaurant. What I didn’t like - that they charge a resort fee, and we were there for just one night and didn’t get to use the $15 credit for food/drink in the restaurant. The room and bathroom were the smallest I’ve ever stayed in. We had an opty to upgrade at a discount but for one night we didn’t bother. The check in person even said “they put you in a wicked small room” and he wasn’t kidding! The bathroom was so small I had to wrap the shower curtain up over the rod because you couldn’t even sit on the toilet without it being in your face. If you are staying multiple days - take the upgrade! Bed was fine, pillows were hard."
