I had an incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience at this hotel, which turned out to be more like a very poorly maintained motel. The room was nothing like the advertised photos. The carpets were worn and stained, and the bathroom, especially the bathtub, looked old and uninviting. The room lacked even basic amenities – there was no closet, just a small rack to hang clothes. The so-called "view" was a parking lot and a wine store, far from the scenic expectation I had. Both Travelocity and I tried reaching the manager from the moment I checked in, but no one was available, and I’ve yet to receive any response or refund for the steep $340 per night on top of $75 security deposit per night and another $25 facility fee per night. I even submitted photos showing the actual condition, but communication has been non-existent. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place! This place is not near a 4 star rather than a middle of round about motel.

I am disappointed on Expedia first, why would you advertise mediocre and dishonest property, destination charge $25, parking fee of $25!!! Whats next, toilet use $25, shower use $25? You can’t strip and charge necessities as you please to make it appear cheaper and then add those charges without guest having a say. I will never book through Expidia again , let alone go back to that stinky and noisy place

The hotel is not really up to the standards we would expect from a Hilton Property. The rooms have no closet...Just a box with a curtain to put hanging clothes in..Beds are comfortable, The lobby is terribly noisy,,,with harsh music and a loud TV blaring. THe restaurant staff is courteous ...the registration staff is not quite the same. Location , for us , was good.. It is unlikely that we will stay there again

The cleanliness and the staff were very good. However, you are charged $25 per day for parking and it isn’t valet. But most frustrating is they charge you $25 per guest a meal fee regardless if you eat there or not. This wasn’t disclosed on the hotel site or on Expedia. We ended up eating breakfast because of the charges and it wasn’t that good. There are no ice or vending machines on any floor as well.

Very nice Hilton boutique hotel next to Starbucks!
Nice and relaxing stay. The front desk service, depending on the staff, was varied. Noah is wonderful. Nick, not as friendly. Others are great. Enjoyed the orange infused water at the reception. The outdoor fire pit is very nice as well. Most importantly - a direct entrance to adjacent Starbucks in the morning!! Yay.

Was checking in late (after 10) so called ahead bc they weren’t able to do digital key. Was told no prob room would be ready. When we got there (at 10:45p) we were given the wrong room. Went to reception and it took 30 mins for them to shift us from a room with one queen to a room with two queens (which is what we booked). I had to email them m confirmation email, which was weird. Room was supposed to come with “local snacks” - we got acoke, a sprite, a bad of lays and 3 Kit Kats. Parking was $25/day - we arrived at 10:30 and were gone by 9 and they charged me $55. Just disorganized.

This property was really disappointing. Our fault for not having understood what a Tapestry Collection hotel was. The staff were friendly that was the one redeeming factor. Charged for parking $25 for the night. The hotel is dingy and dark. The hallway to our room had broken glass for the entire time we stayed there. Air conditioning/heat system was loud and inconsistent - didn't sleep all night due to the fluctuating temperatures and noise. The walls are thin and we could hear people in the hall and in adjacent rooms. Location is awful - the hotel is a quick turn off a roundabout and for people not used to the area, that is unexpected. The surrounding area is busy and just not what was expected, but maybe that is just this part of Cambridge. We did see a drug addict in the driveway next to the parking lot when we arrived - that wasn't so great. Thankfully this was just for a quick overnight stay. Hate having to leave negative reviews, but when we booked all the reviews were 4 but we'd like to save future customers from the disappointment.

Beautiful decor but terrible customer service. Got to the hotel around 11:30pm and there was no hot water. Called front desk (put on hold twice) and was told that once resolved I will get a call back. 45 minutes past still haven’t got the call back. Called the front desk and he said he forgot to call but issue has been resolved. Tried again and still no hot water. Asked for a different room just to take a hot shower because it was really late and I was very tired. Front desk said I can’t occupy two rooms simultaneously so I need to pack everything and move to the new room in order for me to take the shower. By the time everything was settled it was almost 2AM. Also, the water pressure of the hotel was so low that one needs to take an above average time to take a shower. Not going back to this hotel anytime soon.
