My family just returned from a stay at the DoubleTree Suites in Cambridge and our stay was great! We stayed for a week and enjoyed most of what the hotel has to offer. The room was perfect for my family of three. We chose a king suite with sofa bed. Side note on that, all of the sofa-bed rooms are located only on the 3rd floor. While our room was not ready when we arrived at 4:30PM, they were able to get one prepared within 30 minutes after our arrival. The rooms are large and nicely split into two areas with the bathroom in the middle. My seven-year-old loved having his "own room" in the living room with the sofa bed. Being a Diamond Hilton Honors member, we had $36 daily food credit which we used at the resteraunts and also the Made Market. On our first night, we enjoyed dinner in the Fusion Lounge. While it is small, they had plenty of tables and the food was good and arrived quickly. My son enjoyed the personal TVs at each table to watch the baseball game. On our last night we also visited the lounge for dessert and drinks. The Boathouse 400 restaurant is only open for breakfast and we ate there three times. Each was great, including the $10 full buffet for kids. We switched between the buffet and al-a-carte menu each day. While it was pretty expensive for breakfast, we were fine paying as our credit covered most of the meal cost. The pool and hot tub area is really an added bonus. We enjoyed this on three rainy afternoons, and we were usually the only ones in there. My wife used the fitness center often and thought it was a great option to have at the hotel. The overall location of the hotel was perfect for us as we drove. While you do have to pay to park in the garage, it was safe and convenient as we drove from PA. We were also 15 minutes or less from all of the attractions we wanted to visit and everything was easy to get to. While nothing is really close-enough to easily walk to - my son and I did venture on a walk one day and were able to stop at a Trader Joe's about 10 minutes across the river. The one negative I will mention is only if you are staying on the bottom floors and there is a party with a DJ in one of the lower rooms. On our first night there, they hosted a birthday party with a DJ. We could clearly hear the music and DJ announcements in our room through the walls/floor. Luckily it was over by 9:30 and was only that one night. If we ever decide to visit Boston again, my family will 100% choose this hotel. The room was great, everyone there was super helpful and the location was perfect.
