Stayed 2 days at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge [3 star] for $ 60 + tx per day. Good location, overlooking the Charles river and Boston skyline. Upgraded me to a riverview for only $10 additional per day. The room itself was smallish, and the bathroom was even more so... no bathtub either. Carpet stained with the footprints of the iron table in the room, and looked a little worn. All these were made up for by the lovely view from the room. Room was clean over all. Great and friendly service all around. The restaurant 'Zephyr on the Charles' had limited menu options, but had a great view, and great service. No other restaurants nearby. The other drawback was that the T station was about a mile away, although the hotel does run a shuttle to the T from 9 am- 6 pm. Parking is $30 a day with unlimited in/out privileges [although they charged me only $30 for my 2 day stay... a mistake maybe, but I wasn't complaining]. Overall, I would think of staying here again.

Stayed at the barclay for one night between 29th and 30th March, 2007 for $110. The room was spotless, and very well done. In the middle of NYC, I suppose this was the best view I could ask for... one overlooking the Waldorf Astoria. Great location, since the hotel sits half a block from an underground tunnel to Grand Central station, and the Grayline tour has a stop at the Waldorf Astoria on its downtown loop. My room did have a coffemaker, although it was written that only the first cup of coffee was complimentary. The staff were helpful, though may be a little overbearing at times. On the phone, they sounded downright rude. NYC culture? I don't know. The other thing is that, while the rooms are very nicely done, it still doesn't keep out the noise. COuld hear every word of a conversation out in the corridor at 11 pm.
