The Atlas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful hotel! It's very modern, as it's a newly built hotel in the area. The rooms were very luxurious, the staff was very attentive and respectful, and the hotel restaurant was amazing and accommodating. Last but not least, do not forget to visit the rooftop lounge serving unique, specialty-crafted cocktails!"

Cambridge Common House

Nice breakfast is included. Area felt very safe for solo travelers I will stay again on my next visit to this area. Staff was very accommodating."

Cambria Hotel Boston Somerville

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was very pleasant. We’ve stayed at a Cambria hotel in CT twice before. The valet and front desk attendants were kind and professional. They even dropped off a small gift basket when we shared why we were visiting. Such a nice surprise. The room was clean and modernly designed. There was a nice restaurant attached and the area is very walkable. We did not use the gym or have breakfast, so I can’t comment on those."
