Holiday Inn Boston - Cambridge Area by IHG

This is hotel is perfectly located and is about 15 minutes from Boston South station. You have a convenience store across the street and several other little mom & pops store nearby with restaurants within walking distance. The rooms are always neat and clean and stocked with clean laundry (linen) & coffee. I would highly recommend this hotel.

I travel for work almost twice a month and have stayed in multiple hotels across the country. This was a fun trip for my son but definitely one of the worst hotel experiences I have had and first time in a Holiday Inn. None of the front desk staff ACTUALLY knew basic info on the hotel (such as pool hours). Only one girl knew the answers to any question. The door on the pool was permanently locked and I kept having to get the front desk if I needed to get in. (One of the times I was in the pool and just had to run to my room, came back down to ask to get let back in, and she told me “thats because it is closed”… i said i was just there, she said “oh yea”…. what? 😂. Restaurant was never open for dinner like it says online. Only breakfast and the only actual options were eggs, sausage, bacon,

This hotel exceeded all my expectations, starting with the front desk staff, especially Dee, who was incredibly friendly, helpful, and efficient. The facilities were spacious, and I loved the pool area with its game tables, half-basketball court, and a pool larger than those at other hotels. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast included in my rate, served in the restaurant, was delicious. I definitely loved this hotel and hope to return soon.

Positive: The cleanliness and the modern appliances in the room. Negative: We were visiting our daughter and her family. The drive from the hotel to her house was fairly hard. The roads in Somerville are in horrible shape.

We stayed 1 night and were very impressed with how unique the pool area was. Normal pool (a bit on the chilly side), but surrounding the pool was a rock climbing wall, a couple basketball shooting machines, a foosball table and a massive projector screen that had a family friendly movie on when we were there. Both my wife and I stay a couple hundred nights per year at hotels and were pleasantly surprised to see this unique area, as we have not seen this anywhere. Definitely would recommend for families with kids, big and small.
