Hotels with Breakfast in Cambridge

The best place to stay at Harvard. Gorgeous gorgeous common house.

The hotel is in MIT, about 10 meters from the entrance is the entrance of the subway station, the traffic is very convenient. Breakfast has eggs, baked potatoes, bacon, various breads, drinks, fruits, etc. We stayed for 5 days and the breakfast was the same, enough. The service was very good, and there was fruit in the room on the first day. The next day it rained, the hotel had an umbrella to borrow, no deposit required. Very recommended.

The room was of comfortable size and I particularly appreciated that the room was made up daily. Friendly staff and good service in general.  The Grab and Go Bistro offered a good selection of breakfast choices, while the quality of dishes served at the Bisuteki (Japanese restaurant) by the lobby has much room for improvement, given the high prices! I also liked that the hotel is sandwiched between Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods Market, with a Blue Bikes dock just a couple mins walk from the lobby, very convenient.

To add, the hotel is incredibly convenient for visiting MIT, as it's within walking distance. Google Maps' walking directions aren't quite accurate and will take you on a roundabout route to the dome. I recommend navigating directly to MIT Chapel; the visitor center is right across from it. From there, you can easily cut through a building to reach the dome. Getting to Harvard is also easy, just take the Red Line subway. Once you exit the station, you're right at Harvard's red brick wall and main gate. You can also take the #1 bus, which will drop you off on the other side of the red wall and another gate. You could take the bus there and the subway back, avoiding retracing your steps. Overall, the hotel's location is great and very convenient for transport.

I only stayed one one night but the stay was a good as you can get. Check-in was fast and easy, the room was clean and quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. The room had a new digital thermostat which made adjusting the temp much more precise, which has historically been an issue for me as a business traveler. I'll definitely be back for my next trip to Cambridge.

I booked two rooms. One was a river-view room with a balcony, offering a great view for photos, though the bed was a bit smaller. The other room also had a river view, but its balcony was enclosed within the hotel, and it had a larger bed. It rained and the temperature dropped, which actually made the enclosed balcony quite useful (haha).

Although it is not far from MIT, the surrounding area feels quite remote. The front desk service is not good. They refused to provide bottled water. I asked for it twice but they didn't give it to me. They said it was only for members and asked us to buy it at the gift shop, but there was no one in the store. Later, I went to the supermarket next door to buy water. Then I remembered that I had registered as an IHG member, but I was too lazy to go to the front desk to ask for water again. The breakfast was also very simple. I barely ate bread and bread to fill my stomach. After staying for a few days, I concluded that the service of this kind of chain store is average. Slippers are not provided. Everyone remember to bring your own slippers and toothpaste and toothbrush:) The parking fee is very expensive, 50 dollars per night for guests staying in the hotel

The location of the hotel is average, the parking lot is relatively small, there is a McDonald's and a gas station around, there is a train track next to it, the noise is very loud, but the price is cheap.
