Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Omni Parker House

Omni Parker House

10/10 Excellent
"We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Omni Parker House in Boston! We were able to check in a little early, which was such a nice bonus after traveling, and every staff member we interacted with was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The hotel itself is so beautiful and full of history. Knowing that it is the oldest continuously operating hotel in America makes staying there even more special. There are several options right on-site for food and drinks, plus a Starbucks, which made everything incredibly convenient. The location was also perfect for exploring Boston, and we loved being able to stay somewhere that felt like part of the history of the city rather than just another hotel. If you get the chance to stay at the Omni Parker House, do it! We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay here again!"

"This was a great location for a solo traveler walking around the city. There is construction next door which goes on 24/7 and all you hear at night is pounding. I’m sure it won’t last forever however for the time being it could be an issue for some."
