Hotel in zona Harvard College Student Organization Center at Hilles, Cambridge

I had the privilege to stay at the Commander every other week for 8 months due to business. This property is a treasure in Cambridge. Exclusively located right on Cambridge common, this hotel is a 10-20 minute walk from Museums, Harvard Campus, Harvard square and dozens of restaurants and shopping. The second you arrive the character is apparent, from the front visage modeled after Mount Vernon, a bronze statue of the Commander himself, and stunning ornate ceilings in the lobby. The rooms are well appointed and full of character. Built in the 1920's, it was originally an apartment building and hotel rooms, which does leave each room to be slightly different. You never know quite what you're going to get in the rooms. But you can count on comfortable beds, great closet space, and stellar service. The front desk is kind and always go above and beyond, Kaitlyn, Jose, and the rest of the front desk crew are always ready to greet you with a smile. Johannes at the concierge desk is a delight and ready to help. The hotel is connected to a nice restaurant, Nubar, which also serves as the breakfast buffet location. Breakfast is not free, but if you have Marriott Titanium and above you do get vouchers. The wait staff in the morning are wonderful, although I can't recall everyone's name, I had a great pleasure getting to know Claudia. The Commander truly became a home away from home. I hope to visit again soon!

Servizio eccellente, ottima posizione vicino alla stazione centrale. Le camere sono molto eleganti e spaziose. Colazione abbondante con presenza di prodotti locali. Servizi attento e staff molto dispoinibile.

It was hard to rate this hotel. Hotel staff is friendly and professional. Room and lobby areas were clean. Valet parking with in/out privileges is much less than competing hotels. Colette, the attached restaurant, was excellent. However, there are some misses. One was no fridge in the room which is big for us when we are on a road trip. But the big reason why it is hard to recommend this place was the extremely small size of the rooms, at least the one (315) that we were placed into. I was surprised it even met building codes. I couldn't even turn around or bend over in the shower (no tub) without contorting my body. To walk in the room meant that my wife and I had to climb over the beds. There was hardly any floor space which meant my wife had to sleep with her luggage on the bed with her. If you need some space to spread out in the room, this is not the place for you.

L'hotel è un hotel comune di Hilton, con alcuni piccoli negozi intorno.Ma l'atteggiamento del personale di Taoyuan è generale.Ho dimenticato un paio di manette all'hotel, ho chiamato la notte e non so se rispondere. Dice che mi chiami quando trovi, non lo troverai, non lo farai.Fino ad oggi, non ho ricevuto il messaggio.🥲🥲🥲

This is a very nice place. The neighborhood is good and quiet. It is a 7-minute walk to the Central T subway station. That station is one block either way from MIT/Kendall or Harvard Square. It is otherwise 15 or 20 minutes walk to MIT, for example. The room was good, with air conditioner and fan. WiFi worked very well and they had a good desk. Hosts are very nice as well. There is no breakfast, but they do leave out fruit and there is a kitchen. Overall, a nice stay.

2 ladies in the reception are very warm and friendly. The room is clean with a beautiful view. The whole time there was very pleasant.

I arrived early and they were able to find me a room that was available which was very nice. As a Globalist they offered a 4 pm checkout and free breakfast. Got a nice room facing the Charles River. A pleasant stay and very convenient to MIT. Also nice that they now have a shuttle that will take you to Kendall, Central or Harvard Square.

Tutto è perfetto per il nostro soggiorno, dal soddisfare la nostra richiesta di una camera di piano superiore con vista, al colazione personale che soddisfa la nostra richiesta di un oggetto vegetariano ”caldo”. fino a 6:30am/7am, ma il personale era abbastanza bello per noi per permetterci di prendere qualche pasticceria e articoli refrigerati per andare quella mattina presto. La stanza era molto spaziosa con una cucina completamente immagazzinata con tazze e panini. La consegna di Uber Eats ci ha aiutato molto, una delle nostre notti, perché potevamo mangiare nelle piastre ”vere” e usare l'argento. Possiamo mettere i soldi sul frigorifero. L'intero personale dell'hotel era molto rispettoso e sempre sorridente. Il parcheggio è stato molto conveniente, con un Starbucks collegato all'hotel.

Did I spend roughly $50 (pre-tax & tip) on a lobster roll and a glass of prosecco? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. I'm going to touch on other aspects of my stay, but I can't believe how many fresh tasting, big, succulent chunks of lobster were in this hotel lounge lobster roll. It's cold & mayo based, which I know isn't for everyone (I see you got buttered lobster roll people and I understand completely; I'm just an equal opportunist when it comes to lobster rolls), but it was really good - like, not good for a hotel lounge, but good good. Yum! Ok, so why 4 stars? If it were based on the hospitality of the staff alone, I'd give it 6. Every staff member I encountered was genuinely affable - some were more outgoing than others, sure, but I appreciate mellow kindness. Also, this might be the first time I've remembered to pack all of my extra little charging stations, and I didn't even need them. So many conveniently placed outlets and USB ports - and the main room light was warm toned and welcoming, which is also a little treat :) I had to take away a star because of the general noise. My sleep wasn't disturbed, because I always travel with hardcore ear plugs and a sleep mask, but I couldn't close the curtains all the way (even with the pants hanger clip trick) so there was light coming in, and I could hear everything in the hall. Also plumbing noises (like pipes pinging and gurgling - nothing alarming, just...mildly intrusive). I was also disappointed that there wasn't a laundry bag or dry cleaning service like there are in the other Marriotts I've stayed in; I want to call myself out on not going to the front desk to ask specifically for this, but every other Marriott I've been in has a laundry bag with a dry cleaning order form in the closet. There also weren't any extra blankets in the closet; again, I didn't ask the front for one (and I'm sure they would have given one to me) but I wish there had been one in the room as it was super comfortable until I woke up at 2 am - which is really late and inconvenient to realize you need extra blankets. Ok, so that's why I took away a star. The other 4 are for the friendly staff, incredibly convenient location (anywhere I didn't walk, I took a Bluebike from the stand right outside), gorgeous fitness center (Pelotons?! What?!), and general cleanliness. If I come back to Boston/Cambridge for work, I'm 100% staying here. (If I come for pleasure, I'd probably try a quaint inn or something, but honestly I'd likely stay here the final night of my trip because it is also FIFTEEN MINUTES from the airport. But with a great river view, and no plane noises.) More on the location: walk to the river, and across the Harvard bridge. You're literally right there, and it's a great way to see the city (and while there's a CVS across the street, the one over the bridge is in a historic building. I'm from California, so to me that is very special 😂). It also takes 15 minutes to walk to the Cambridgeside Galleria if you n
