Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

AC Hotel by Marriott Boston Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"I have so many great things to say about this hotel. To start the rooms are absolutely gorgeous— I got a Suite and it’s the prettiest room i’ve ever seen and very clean. After traveling all day and having a bad experience with renting a car prior to my arrival at the hotel, my day was completely flipped around by the staff. They are absolutely amazing and sooo helpful. They made me feel so welcome and cared for. The positive energy and attitude they bring to the hotel is 11/10. Maria and Z in the hotel bar have amazing personalities, give great service and bring such good energy to the bar. Rosemary, Brody, and Tracy at the front desk are amazing. Truly best hotel experience i’ve ever had and can’t wait to book here again in the future when in town!"
