Great experience - will definitely stay again. The location of this hotel is fantastic as it is close to Boston, but not right in the thick of things. Stayed here for two nights and would recommend to anyone traveling to the Boston/Cambridge area. Hotel is updated and clean. Rooms aren't huge, but more then enough for two people (king bed... More

I stayed here in January 2012 on business. For a business stay, this hotel meets all of the necessary criteria: it is clean, well-managed, and spacious enough to take care of business. Also, the beds are very comfortable, which s typical for the Hampton Inn brand. First off, I arrived by train at the Lechmere stop on the Green line,... More

I've stayed in a lot of Hamptons because they meet my needs. Clean sheets, hot water and a decent breakfast. This is typical Hampton. Stayed here two nights on a business trip because it was close to my client. My room was 4th floor facing the street and not too noisy, but would echo the comments about getting a room... More

We sometimes have trouble sleeping in strange beds, but each of us had great, comfortable sleeps at this Hampton Inn for the two nights we stayed there after Christmas. The staff heeded our request for a room in the back, and even put us far from the quiet elevators and noisy ice machine. With a Camry, we had no trouble... More

Even with the free do-it-yourself parking and the SYSCO "breakfast" (read = pre-prepared foods, not exactly the freshest or most healthy), we felt this hotel was a bit overpriced. The rooms are updated, but our bathroom had one little sink with not much space. The location is pretty much Ewwww. Nothing scenic or cool nearby, except maybe the Museum of... More

I chose this hotel because of two factors- it has free parking, which is rare in Boston, and is within two blocks of the Lechmere T station. So it’s very handy for driving into the city, parking the car, and then moving around using public transportation. I have noticed that this chain seems to have a pattern of placing its... More

We have stayed at this hotel twice, and it was better the first time, several years ago. The positives: It's a good deal in a very expensive city, where parking alone can cost up to $49/day. Overall, the hotel was clean (I inspected VERY carefully, even in the mattress corners checking for bedbugs) and the front desk staff very friendly.... More

The service at this hotel was probably the best I have had at any hotel across the USA - the staff were so friendly and helpful and you just have to love that Boston accent! The rooms are spacious and comfy - decent sized bathrooms too. Only downsides were no fridge in the room and that it's pretty noisy all... More

I had a better room at Sing Sing. Cramped room with no space. Spartan rooms and bathroom. Not up to anyone's standards who has them. In a bad neighborhood so you cannot walk. Breakfast is crowded and not good. If this room cost $55 per night, I could see it. Parking Garage for 15 cars only. Sorry. I will find... More

We stay in a lot of Hamptons. It's our hotel of choice. So, for our long weekend in Boston/Cambridge, we stayed at the Boston/Cambridge Hampton near the end of the Green Line of the MBTA, near Lechmere in Cambridge. So, first, the good: the Lechmere station was a short walk and you could get anywhere from there by "subway" or... More
