Holiday Inn Express & Suites Boston - Cambridge, an IHG Hotel

One, I was allowed to check in earlier than the check in time. Two, the proximity to TD garden wasn’t very far, even walkable if you’re a walking type person. Last, breakfast at this property was wonderful ( scrambled eggs, sausage links, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, cereals/oatmeal, fruits and etc ). Also if you need to shop, there’s a couple of malls/shopping centers nearby this stay which was again the best part of this stay.

The hotel has excellent location in terms of access to metro/subway Lechmere station which brings you to the downtown area or transfer to any of the other metro lines. It also has bus service to Harvard - which is also very convenient. The room was a standard Holiday Inn Express rooms - so no surprises there. Breakfast was excellent, as always. And there is a large supermarket nearby - if you need it.

We all liked the Room; very comfy for a party of Four (2 adults and two teenagers) Despite not having a pool or gym, the facility has a lovely dining area inviting guests to access the food and beverages easily! I didn't realize the express meant not a full hot breakfast. However, some days we got bacon and hashbrowns, which is a plus The housekeeping staff was great (A1), the room was always cleaned at the time we returned after all day of staying out The Kitchen/dining staff was also great (A1), their attitude was always happy, and even at rush hour we never missed any food/beverages

This hotel was reasonably priced. And the location was perfect. We walked to the museum of science and into the city. We rented a car as we were visiting family outside the city as well. We were able to park at the hotel no problem and the parking fee was included in our room pricing. Breakfast was very convenient and had plenty to choose from. Staff was very pleasant.

The reception staff were excellent, particularly Tyler! They were all so friendly and helpful. We were there for the marathon and there were so many other runners there too. The room was bigger than expected and was quiet - we actually even heard birdsong in the mornings! The shower was massive and the room was really clean. It was less than 5 mins walk to Lechmere station and if you take the exit where you walk through the bus station it is really quick. You can actually see the hotel from the train platform. It is easy to get into town and to the airport from the hotel too. It was only a few stops from Park St where you could have a lovely walk through Boston Common and the Public Garden into town if you wanted to get outside! Breakfast changed every day and there was a decent choice. It is not gourmet, and there are paper plates and plastic forks, but when it is included in the price I can't complain. The hotel is on a main road and a very short walk to a bunch of shops like Marshalls and a supermarket to the left of the entrance. We also ordered pizza from Arams and collected it which was 3 mins walk away! It is on Cambridge St and there are a bunch of restaurants, coffee shops and even a bus that can take you to Harvard there. It is also a 15 min walk to a shopping mall near the station which had so many shops if that is your thing. If you are staying a few days I totally recommend you get the $22.50 Charlie Card to travel around. We used it on buses and trains and it made it so easy to travel around.
