Royal Sonesta

i had a wonderful stay at this hotel -- beds were comfortable, rooms were clean, fantastic pool and fitness center, and fantastic view of charles river. Pros: pool, fitness center, clean rooms more

The Royal Sonesta was a great find. Not a bargain hotel, but a reasonable price and a great value. It is literally steps away from the Science Center and close to the T. It has decent accommodations and some nice perks - CD player/clock radio in room, indoor pool, on site parking (which was included in our 129/night rate), two queen beds and shampoo AND conditioner ;). The rooms are well insulated and the only time I noticed the mob in the adjoining room was when I was in the hallway. We did not use the restaurant due to the many choices in Boston for food, but the staff sent up some plates and forks up to our room for us to use for my sons birthday cake, which we purchased at the Cheesecake Factory located across the street in the mall. All-in-all this is a great family hotel. Pros: location, value Cons: location more

Hotel is great place to stay - convenient - across street from Cambridge Galleria (Cheesecake Factory, Papa Razzi) and down the street from Lechmere T stop providing easy access to Boston. Nice pool, friendly service. Great view of Charles River and Boston. Pros: location Cons: bed pillows more
