"Wow, I didn’t know what to expect, but this spot in Somerville is truly a hidden gem! It features a beautifully modern lobby, a spacious study area, and an impressive on-site restaurant. We initially had some trouble with check-in due to the transfer from Hotels.com to Cambria, but the staff went above and beyond to assist us. They welcomed us with a bottle of Brut and wine and provided exceptional service throughout our stay. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with our experience here!"

Great option just out from Boston centre
This is a really nice hotel in Somerville. It’s a relatively new hotel and everything works. Great shower and gym facilities. The restaurant is also excellent. Staff all very pleasant.

Somerville weekend
Place was beautiful, from the lobby to the room! Staff were all nice and friendly. Two things I didn't care for which seem to be a trend now with hotels... For how much the rooms are, I had to pay $33/night to park my car. Also, no complimentary breakfast, other than a banana and lemon water. Bed was too soft for my tastes but that's not a dig on the hotel.

Great hotel, clean and new amenities. The staff is very friendly.
The rooms are large and very well set up.
My only complaint was the trash cleanup/throwing at 11pm through midnight. It woke us up both nights we were there. The rooms overlooking the back parking/trash have a direct view and sound from there.

This hotel is pretty nice and almost exudes a "boutique hotel" atmosphere. Most of the employees were younger and inexperienced. We had a view of the inner rear court, and the unsightly bin full of trash and dirty laundry piles were a bit unpleasant. We had trouble with the TV sound where it was lagging. . .the service department was unable to fix it. In general the staff was very good and were friendly/polite. What needs addressing is the attitude of the front desk. They are constantly on their phones and don't listen to client requests. I had to repeat multiple times some of the issues and requests. There should be a fast rule to disallow personal use of cell phones during work hours!
