Rooms are clean and well-ordered. Parking is slightly confusing and no valet. The room was freezing but engineering came to the room to tell me the heat was working. Room finally warned up at 1:00 am. Seriously convenient and adequate for our MIT visit.

The rooms are nice and big. The kitchen was a great bonus. Buffet breakfast was better than expected. Lots of options. One elevator was out of service, so at times there could be a wait for the elevator. But not too bad.

The hotel is great but watch out for bunch of extra charges that are not necessarily explained when you check in. Apparently the daily destination fee includes some fitness classes, afternoon tea, and food person but I didn't know about it until the day of the checkout. In their defense it was written on the envelope of the check-in cards. Bunch of incidentals were also charged to be my card but I've no ideas why multiple charges. I'm told they will be taken off when I contacted the front desk.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Residence Inn in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warmth and professionalism of the staff.
One thing that stood out to me was how accommodating they were to my extra guest. It's always a relief when a hotel is flexible and understanding about unexpected changes to your plans, and The Residence Inn certainly exceeded my expectations in this regard.
The pull-out couch in our room was surprisingly comfortable, providing a cozy and relaxing space for my guest. It's always a bonus when extra sleeping arrangements are not only available but also comfortable enough to ensure a good night's rest.
I must also commend the evening staff, who were particularly outstanding during my stay. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor made me feel welcome and well taken care of throughout my time at the hotel.
Overall, my experience at The Residence Inn in Cambridge was fantastic. From the accommodating staff to the comfortable amenities, it's a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming and enjoyable stay in the area.

Parking issues
We were in Boston for a swim meet, accommodations were exactly what we needed. What we didn’t need was the expense of parking! Hotel only had so many parking passes for the garage, first come first serve! So instead of a flat rate for the day coming and going as a please I had to pay each time we left! $10 for half hour, $40 for 1 hour and 45 minutes,over night another $48! I know parking is at a minimum but providing you guests a spot at a fixed rate is needed!

Great stay.
We stayed for 4 nights with the whole family. The room was spacious, we love that we have a big refrigerator, a dishwasher, a stove, very nice utensils, dining table and a sofa bed. They clean our room every single day. There’s free breakfast every morning. The location is close to everything we wanted to visit. However, we have issue with the bath tub drain. It was draining slow so whenever you take a shower the water would pile up. Overall, our stay was great. I would give it an 8 out of 10.

We parked in the yellow garage as we were told when we called ahead to get information on parking. So that’s what we did and when we checked in we were told not to pull a ticket we would have a card to use to swipe. So I had to move the car out and back in. Ended up paying $18 for no reason because when I called ahead they failed to let me know about the swipe card. Other wise the room is spacious.

There was traffic in the area and the kind woman at the front desk I believe her name was Patricia, went above and beyond and helped me get checked in and to the reception on time. We had a clean, comfortable, well stocked, quiet suite. The breakfast in the morning was perfect after a night of partying. This was a genuinely great stay and I will stay here again when I am back in town.

I arrived at 2:30am and the hotel did not open the main door or answer my several calls. I was in the middle of the street at 2:30am with no place to stay. I was lucky that I could find another hotel at that time.
To be clear, my flight was delayed, so I called the hotel earlier in the evening and let them know that I will arrive after 2am. They checked me in on the phone and said I should stop by at the desk to get the key on my arrival. However, there was nobody to open the main door or answer the phone when I arrived. I rang the bell several times and even knocked on the door.
More interestingly, the hotel charged my card for my stay that never happened. When I called them later, they said they will refund it but have not done it yet after 4 days.
I don't usually write harsh reviews, but this was a really horrible experience and I will never stay there again, so I thought I should let others know too.
