At the last minute, had to book a Room here because everything else in the Boston/Cambridge area's were booked up, So had reserved a room at this Hotel for a Conference. Was not impressed with this Hotel at all. Understand it has been under Repairs/Updates for a long while. Upon Check in, was placed in a Room on the 2nd... More

I was very saddened by your review. Our hotel became a Clarion less than a year ago and we are continuing to strive to be better. We did update all of the furniture and artwork in the rooms immediately and are now going back and redoing all walls, carpets and bathrooms. As you can imagine this is a huge undertaking... More

First off, the hotel management including the employee's are a bunch of liars. I called in to cancel my reservation for a night and they assured me that my reservation was cancelled but later on charged me for it. I asked for a receipt for my stay when I checked out and the lady at the front desk refused me... More

I am very sorry that you were unhappy with your stay here. I have looked into your reservation and you were not given a receipt because it was a third party booking. The company you booked with should have issued you a email at the time of the booking including a receipt. I apologize that the room was not up... More

My husband and I (along with our 21 month old son), checked in to this hotel for the last 2 days of our vacation. When we called to book, we were never informed that this hotel was under renovation. This hotel was a nightmare from the moment we arrived. I went to the "bar" to ask for a cup of... More

I trusted the brand name but should've read the reviews first. I would've never have stayed here. Room rate had dropped $40 since I reserved it two days earlier and the manager would not honor the lower rate which according to choice privileges she has the option to do. Looking back through the reviews this place is been under renovation... More

This hotel is over the top on customer service. We have stayed in alot of hotels and as far as looks it dosen't win any awards, how ever they are remodeling rooms in blocks of 40. The room was clean and thats all that really matters because how much are you really in your room. From the moment we arrived,... More

I booked this hotel mainly because it is billed as a "non-smoking" hotel. However, there was 2nd hand smoke in the hallways on the 2nd floor, which meant that a guest was smoking in his room. Also, people were smoking right outside of the hotel's entrance, which meant that when the doors were opened, the 2nd hand smoke went right... More
