This Hotel offers a hip, urban feel with a great location near the Central T station. Le Meridien came to me by virtue of a, "Hotwire Special" as I did not know that this was the hotel I was getting when i clicked on the price. However, I was presently surprised as Le Meridien looks very new and the rooms... More

My husband & I stayed here May 4-6, 2012 for a Red Sox game. Our favorite SPG hotel was sold out, so we decided to give this one a try. Fenway is a short cab ride away (approx. $12 fare). The staff wasn't very friendly, but we did check in at 1:00 am, maybe she was tired. The room had... More

Pros- nice, spacious room (we luckily got upgraded), just a short bus ride from Harvard. 1 free complimentary water bottle. Supermarket is in the same building with easy access. Cons- Expensive to park, they charge for internet and even $1.00 for local phone calls. I did NOT like that they had a tray of candy prominently displayed. Over $3.00 for... More

Our family stayed at the Le Meridien in Cambridge MA from May 22, 2012-the 25th to celebrate our son's graduation from Harvard Business School. Although the hotel is much closer to MIT, it was only a 20 minute ride---with traffic--to Harvard. We were able to secure 3 beautiful rooms here using our Starwood Preferred Guest points, saving us over $3500!... More

Hotel is really nice with friendly staff. We´ve enjoyed the location with walking distance to the river. It was excellent choice and not too expensive.

The hotel is modern, clean and efficient. It is very conveniently located. 6 minutes walk (3 blocks) to Central station on the Red line 'T". One stop to... More

I stayed here on business and I found the location very convenient. 1st time in Cambridge and I found the area seedy, gritty and I did not feel comfortable walking around at night as I was traveling alone. My conference was downtown and the T was a short walk. It was easy access to the airport, too. Free wifi, modest... More

If you're in Cambridge because of MIT, then you can't beat the location. It's conveniently located between the school and "T", close to the wonderful Flour Bakery and Toscanini Ice Cream. The ambience is a forced attempt at European chic, which would work better if the place was better maintained and the staff better trained. It's not that people aren't... More
