Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

8/10 Good
"It was an amazingly beautiful high end hotel, there was an extra $25 fee each day above and beyond the cost, you have to scan your room card to get to your floor which is a nice added safety feature. It was located near where we wanted to be. I wish there was some free breakfast options, but they did have a Starbucks type fast casual place in the lobby that was reasonably priced for breakfast and coffee. The paperback restaurant upstairs had a super large yummy chicken sandwich."
